Café La Mancha

San José


Hidden away in a courtyard within the historical Steinvorth building, this new third-wave coffee shop is the passion project of a local photographer with a fondness for the golden bean. From cortado (espresso mixed with warm milk) to Chemex, La Mancha offers all the latest in coffee technology and even holds coffee-related workshops. Coffee US$3 to US$5

Walking tours of the city make this a frequent caffeinated rest stop.

Also noteworthy in Steinvorth is the Cimarrona brewpub/pizzeria and the wonderful new burger bar next to the cafe.
