Inside Baya Baya Cafe · Bar
Baya Baya Cafe · Bar in Playa Cocles offers more than just a typical coffee stop—it’s a relaxed beachfront spot blending the feel of a neighborhood café with the freshness of a bakery and the comfort of a casual breakfast and brunch restaurant. If your day starts with the beach breeze and a good cup of coffee, this place fits right in.
Locals and visitors alike head here for mornings where flaky, buttery croissants practically rival those you'd find in Paris, setting a high bar for pastries in Puerto Viejo. The bakery’s fresh breads and brownies also come highly regarded, making it a convenient grab-and-go choice when you want something to take back to your room or the beach.
The menu covers all bases from breakfast through dinner, with dishes that emphasize fresh, wholesome ingredients—like avocado toast topped with salmon or spinach omelets, often served alongside fresh fruit bowls or light salads. Portions are generous, matching the laid-back vibe where you can linger over your meal without feeling rushed.
The atmosphere here suits a range of moods: a sunny table facing the beach for slow mornings, a cozy nook for getting some work done with decent Wi-Fi and attentive service, or a casual lunch spot after some time in the surf. It’s a spot where the staff’s genuine warmth shines through; they seem to remember regulars and offer friendly, attentive service without being intrusive.
Visitors who value a balance of quality food, good coffee, and a view will find this cafe especially welcoming. Early to mid-mornings are great for a peaceful start, while afternoons keep the vibe chill, with enough buzz to feel part of the local rhythm but never crowded or hectic. Whether you want a quiet place to read, catch up on work, or simply enjoy a beachside meal, Baya Baya’s blend of bakery freshness and approachable cafe fare fits neatly into Playa Cocles’ casual lifestyle.
