Café de los Deseos

Top choice in San José


Abuzz with artsy young bohemians, this colorful Barrio Otoya cafe makes a romantic spot for drinks (from sangria to cocktails to smoothies), bocas (handmade tortillas with Turrialba cheese, salads, teriyaki chicken, individual pizzas) and tempting desserts. Walls are hung with the work of local artists and rooms are adorned with hand-painted tables, beaded curtains and branches entwined with fairy lights.
