A sleek, monochromatic cafe with excellent views of the ornate Correo Central building, this multilevel spot near the heart of San José's pedestrian zone is perfect for coffee drinks (including delicious iced mochas) and pastries. Try the empanadas or breakfast burritos, which go well with the cafe’s homemade hot sauce. Lovers beware: heed the 'no makeout' (escenas romanticas) signs.
One of the many El Tostador chains in town and around Costa Rica.
