This is my favorite place in town. I go daily for coffee and the best breakfast. For dinner the local catch of the day is my favorite as well! A must visit when in Mal Pais. More

We had a nice couple beers and sandwiches at this nice little outdoor cafe. It's by the beach and well-covered from the sun. The food was really good and well-priced. The service was great too and they speak English so I'd recommend it to anyone who's just gotten to Costa Rica and is not so good with Spanish. Great lunch... More

The service was poor, the food was awful (greasy, fried fish that was over battered) and our group unanimously agreed. We chose not to revisit Artemis on another night when we had other options available.... More

I started coming in the day time for the best internet connection in town paired with a good cafe con leche, and quickly became accustomed to seeing a rotation of friendly faces come through in the afternoon hours. The vibes are easy, the staff is funny (or think they are! just smile and nod), and at night they throw my... More

The best breakfast spot on the Peninsula by far from the fresh coffee, to the amazing friendly service there is no wonder this place fills up early! The food is amazing from breakfast to dinner, ice cold draft, the only spot in town with this, and fresh fruit smoothies, seafood, salads and everything in between with a killer WIFI connection...
