Al Fuentes: First I want to qualify this review by telling you that I’ve had coffee all around the world. It is one of the main reasons why I travel. This coffee place is legitimately at the top of the list! If you want a true Costa Rican coffee experience then you have to come here. The owner, Alberto, gets his beans directly from the farmers and roast them himself! The freshness of the coffee and the quality of the bean from the Tarrazú region is second to none. Also, it is perfectly roasted to bring out all of the best flavors. Most of Costa Rica’s coffee is exported, so it is hard to find a true local coffee shop. Like a true specialty coffee shop, there are multiple brew methods and you can even take a bag of coffee home with you. If you’re looking for environment, La Mancha is centrally located yet tucked away off the busy street with plenty of seating, good music, and kind, attentive staff. Honestly I could go on but you will have to just come for yourself. You will not be disappointed. By the way this post was unsolicited and I am not affiliated with La Mancha. I live in the USA. I just came here on vacation and fell in love with this place.
William Viquez: Both espresso and cappuccino were perfect. Balanced espresso with floral hints and soft aftertaste. The cappuccino’s temperature was spot on, and the milk-espresso ratio was just right. I also tried the empanada Argentina, it was good. I will revisit and recommend Café La Mancha.
Rachel Kleitches: Alberto, the owner, is amazing and so friendly! This coffee shop is a MUST if you are looking for great local coffee in San Jose. The atmosphere is also nice and relaxing. I already can’t wait to go back.
Amal W.J.E: Great cheese cake !!! Good coffee! Fair prices , nice staff and great ambiance.There’s a courtyard shared with other establishments and a stage where bands jam.
Carlos: Beautiful place, the coffee shop is inside the building. The Cappuccino has a good taste, unfortunately the oat milk was too sweat.
Jade Laneuville: The cappuccino crema irlandesa is the best I ever had. Every time I go in San Jose I have to stop drink my special cappuccino. + the place is so beautiful.
Cord Thomas: Great little cafe in the center of San Jose. They even have almond milk which is a huge bonus! We had a vegan latte that was fantastic, and their iced cappuccino, which surprised us that it was sweet, but was still very good. Quite a lot of sketchy individuals coming in and out of the courtyard though. Would have preferred to sit inside. In any case, very enjoyable experience and they dealt with our bad Spanish very well.
Antoinette Ady: Came here for coffee, also got caprese empanada. SO GOOD. 5 stars because I wouldn’t change a single thing. Great job, La Mancha.

D C: Great place to relax in the nice part of San Jose CR. Great ambience, friendly staff, tasty food, great mimosa! I was very pleased with the quality and the quantity of the food. Great experience coming to this place! Prices compare to Seattle are a little cheaper.
Jason Goldsberry: Top tier in every way. Coffee tasting experience, brunch, and overall great environment. Service always is excellent. Dining room opens up to an enclosed outdoor area with a small playground for the kids.

Kristin Flores: We’ve been here a few times and have always enjoyed our experiences! I’m a big latte fan and theirs are so smooth! My husband likes the cafe filtrado and there are a variety of beans to choose from! Picture below is the tico breakfast - gallo pinto, a common Costa Rican breakfast. It’s a lot of food and so good! Not picture but also delicious is their chocolate chip French toast! We love this place and there’s also a playground for the kids which my toddler loves!
Puuluu Wayan: I had a cup of American coffee and breakfast. Coffee was not impressive for the much higher than average coffee price. I call it no value. Breakfast bacon was healthy without salt. This means tasteless and NG. Service was so so or as like healthy no salted bacon. Building and garden were designed nicely and impressive. So this cafe restaurant is not for good tastes but enjoy being in a well designed space.
Irum Bilgrami: As the uber drove me through the downtown traffic of San Jose i felt apprehension. Is this place going to worth the drive? As soon as we pulled up in front of the cafe, I had the answer. The barista was so friendly as patient with my broken Spanish and asked the right questions as she pointed me towards the menu selection for both my appetite level and dietary preference. The tacos with mushrooms with a tangy spicy sauce was incredible and tasty. The ambiance with the music selection, as I sit in the outdoor patio has me completely relaxed and satisfied. The coffee is so good and fresh.
Eva Eger: Coffe tastes really bad. People who know good coffee should not get one here! Place looks cute and fancy, thought you will taste that in the coffee too. But no, won’t recommend having your coffee here

Michael Wurm: This is reliable and known Starbucks Quality. Not a place for inexpensive food, but a place for their well known quality and also their their professional and attentive staff. 🙏🏻 Good and stable WiFi, allowing to do some remote business activities. They also allowed MAX, my service dog, to accompany me inside and he truly enjoyed their tripple cheese baguettes. 😘
Jelmer R: Plenty of space to sit with nice atmosphere.
Nathan Yagi-Stanton: The cashiers are always very friendly and almost always speak both Spanish and English. The WiFi is very fast here so it’s a nice place to get a lot of work done. There is plenty of seating especially in the lower section. The standards seem to be set high and the staff always deliver a great experience. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the staff not having fun with each other or having an interesting conversation with the customers.

Come try the local variations on Frozen drinks, breakfast sandwiches and chill for a while under the AC while you charge your phone in between touristic activities.
Jeanne White: I come to Costa Rica and San Jose at least once a year, and I stay within walking distance to this Starbucks. It’s always clean and the employees are very pleasant even though most do not speak English. The menu has a few specialty drinks that are not available in the USA. If you’re in the area, you should definitely check it out!
Terry Davis: Great customer service and clean

Jennifer Johnson: Not many vegetarian food options, but we had a very refreshing smoothie and lemonade! Great location and unique atmosphere.
Azar Jindal: This place was everything we expected... WE tried couple of Cold Coffee (GoldenCrunch & Cookiemaster), both were awesome. I will definitely recommend this cafe for evening Coffee... Though it is open only until 6PM.
Ward Harmon: Awesome cafe! Great desserts and coffee drinks. The carrot cake was unlike any other. Must visit!
Natalia Gómez: Service here is not great, coffee is good, baked goods are good. Maybe just get take out.

Luke Dennis: Great food and amazing coffee!
Isaac F. Céspedes Camacho: It is extremely nice to see how San José is filled with nice and pleasant coffee shops…and this is one of them. In the heart of the capital, with a sober atmosphere and decoration, you find this place. The menu is simple and includes sweet and savory dishes. The coffee they serve is of very good quality. If it would be important (and I recommend it) that they use glass cups instead of the ones they have, in order to generate less waste. Very cute to hang out.
Pablo Barquero: Walking in downtown San José one finds surprises and Tizate is one of those. The coffee and desserts are exquisite, and for those who love history, being surrounded by three extremely important buildings gives the place a unique plus.
Carlos Mora Reyes: I had to get out of the car when I saw the presentation and the delicacies that they had in the window, impeccable presentation, coffee to lick your fingers And not to mention a little sandwich that I ate a Spicy Bacon a little piece of heaven in downtown San José

Petra Philipp: Great coffee and food, very nice Cafe with friendly staff and beautiful plants near German Embassy.
Caroline Guf: I was immediately greeted with a smile and a welcome upon stepping through the door. The space is relatively private and light with individually designed seating areas that are very conducive to conversation. The music was also conducive to conversation (which is sometimes not the case at some cafes). There is ample parking on premises for a city location but even if the parking is full, it’s easy to park in the area as long as there is not an event underway at the National Stadium. I had a cappuccino and a tortilla with cheese and sour cream. It was delicious. I stayed to get some work done in the calm atmosphere. Prices are reasonable if a touch high. (It’s not a cheap area of San Jose, in general.) Overall it was a delightful experience. It’s my new favorite cafe in this area. I’ll be back soon, I’m sure.
Response: Caroline, thank you so much for this lovely review . We are so happy to know that you found a place where you can work , have a conversation and enjoy some good coffee . Thank you so much. And please come back soon .
Ingrid Hanchard-Brown: A really lovely place to relax with a good book and eat great food prepared fresh as ordered. Loved my quinoa salad, minus the quinoa but with added (hot) chicken Bites. Also, had a satisfying wander through the adjacent store. Beautiful girlie goodies that makes you want to buy, even if not necessarily needed 😁😁

Malcolm Mooney: Great coffee and pastries, lovely decor and good music
Ilse Apestegui: Unique, beautiful, and expertly made leather good. I own several of their pieces and love them. The store also has a nice coffee shop attached to it.

Marn-Yee Lee: We came here as part of San Jose Urban Tours, with our guide Ernesto (who is amazing, by the way). Got some really good hot chocolate powder, roasted cacao beans (which tastes really good when caramelized.. new experience for me), and some regional coffee beans that support local cooperatives. We like the philosophy of this business. The owner runs the above tour group, which we highly recommend! Their Bites and Sights walking tour was well worth our time. Good people.
Anne McMahon: A very nice speciality coffee bean shop in the center of San Jose. They sell a variety of specality coffee from Costa Rica. Some of the coffee has won prizes for the quality, they also sell organic coffee, beans and filtered coffee, Also very good quality chocolate. The owner speaks english and can advise on the different types of coffee available. They sell coffee drinks to the public. If you are lucking for a good coffee, i recommend this shop.
