Café Rico Menu Spotlight: The Rico Breakfast
When it comes to finding the best breakfast in Puerto Viejo, locals and travelers alike know where to go: Café Rico.
Surrounded by lush jungle and powered by damn good coffee, our café is known for serving up hearty, flavor-packed plates that showcase the best of locally sourced ingredients. One of our most beloved and satisfying dishes? The Rico Breakfast.
A Classic Puerto Viejo Breakfast, Done Right
The Rico Breakfast is a balanced, full-plate offering that keeps our guests coming back. We start with a colorful medley of fresh, seasonal fruit—sliced and served to highlight the vibrant flavors of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
Next, we plate up our house-made pinto beans, a local staple that brings warmth and depth to the dish. These slow-cooked beans are paired with savory ham, adding a deliciously salty bite that complements every other element on your plate.
The star of the show? Two fluffy scrambled eggs, full of comforting, classic flavor.
To complete the experience, we serve up golden grilled plantains and thick slices of locally baked toast, sourced from a neighborhood bakery and toasted to perfection. This is a meal that fuels your day—whether you’re heading to the beach, going on a hike, or simply relaxing in the garden with a good book.
Pair your Rico Breakfast with our damn good coffee, tea, or fresh juice, and settle in for the kind of relaxing, flavorful morning that Puerto Viejo does best.
