Stella’s Bakery

Monteverde & Santa Elena


A bakery for birders. Come in the morning for strong coffee and sweet pastries, or later for rich, warming soup, and sandwiches on homemade bread. Plates such as the huevos rancheros satisfy, especially with a heap of passion fruit cheesecake for dessert. Whenever you come, keep on eye on the bird feeder, which attracts tanagers, motmots and an emerald-green toucanet.

A steakhouse opened here in 2018 and serves guests after the cafe closes, from 6pm to 10pm.
