Really expensive and not that good. Really disappointing. A dry, burnt cookie was like $7.

This is a tough one to write. Having a dedicated GF option is always amazing, especially when traveling and out of your element. The staff was lovely. The trouble is the food is - ok. Very much the ‘well at least it’s gluten free’ experience. I had arepas and my husband had the savory pancake. Both were edible. We actually couldn’t eat some of the baked goods- they were terrible. It’s priced ok, so there’s that bonus. It may be just our experience, but it was enough that we didn’t return during our lengthy stay.

We were so grateful for this place in Tamarindo. We are there multiple times. The Arepas and eggplant lasagna were great, as was the coffee cake!

I hate to report that there was a “for sale” sign hanging in the window 😢.

Excellent stop after the beach. Coffee, snacks & meals. The shop is 100% gluten free. Staff was super nice. We got a quick banana bread & coffee for the drive back home after a full day surfing.
