In front of the Diria Hotel are several classy shops, but the coffee shop has a secret. While you can easily see that it is modern, clean and inviting with air-conditioned seating inside and café style seating outside, the secret is that there is a back door leading to the kitchens of the Matapalo Restaurant at the Diria Hotel. This means that the pastry, salads and other dishes for this little café are prepared by some of the best chefs in town, and Tamarindo has quite a few! So don’t let its innocent appearance fool you! Hint: For a sidewalk café, their wine selection is excellent!
