This was a nice little surprise on our trip to Jaco. My family and I came to Jaco for shopping on a Saturday morning and I stopped at the outdoor bar for an iced latte. The bartender made me an excellent latte and was very kind. After a long, hot day of shopping, we stopped back into the bar for drinks. The bartender was SO friendly and he made my friend the best margaritas she has EVER had, according to her! Seriously, the service here at this bar was outstanding! The atmosphere is nice, and it's a great place to cool down on a hot day.

We went there for lunch and it was a great experience. They had a typical Costa Rican food buffet and they were really generous with their helpings. 9 of us ate lunch there and it was less than $50 including drinks! Will go there again if in that area again.

....and did not disappoint for your typical breakfast items -- eggs, pancakes, french toast, etc. -- but found to be a little pricey for these items. However, things all over a going up in Jaco as is not the value it once was in the past. Additonally, the service there never seems to be consistent, even though I believe my woman server is the owner...not sure.What was memorable about SB was their fresh fruit plates/drinks...and their coffee...very good coffee. Been there several times over many years and will repeat. Worth a stop.

Most people would miss this treasure. Down an ally in Jaco, CR, not much to look at but the food was awesome. Fresh, well prepared and plenty of servings per dish. Presentation was a bonus.Started out with a refreshing fruit smoothie, ended with awesome verity of Costa Rician food flair. Place is small and open to the street but that adds to the character of Establishment. Enjoyed talking with the owner while waiting for our meal. We learned a few things about Life in Costa Rica. Can't wait to try it again

We happened on this gem by chance. We were looking for a place to stop on our drive from San Jose to Manuel Antonio, and thought Zona K looked inviting. We completely underestimated. Everything we ordered - from caprese salad to fried rice to pastries to smoothies - was amazing. Just as an example, the fried rice was heaping with delicious fresh vegetables and the breaded chicken was crisp and tender (ordered it in case it would tempt our child - someone at the neighboring table had a seared tuna steak that made my mouth water). Service was great. In terms of size, Zona K has the vibe of a sidewalk cafe - some seating inside and a few tables outside. It's nice that this is not on Jaco's busy "strip," this was nice and relaxed.We're so glad we stopped, and I was motivated to actually write about it because it was such a find.

Reviewed By the_muckster_316
Homemade everything and excellent. The local coffee was very good. My boys were almost crying with enjoyment from their cinnamon rolls they had for breakfast. And my wife and I kept it simple but delicious. We went here twice in the 6 days we were in town. Actually, we tried to go a 3rd time, but they weren't open yet. So we went to a competitor and that was great too. Separate review! But if we're ever back in Jaco, we'll be back at The Coffee Shop guaranteed!
