When we first arrived in Puerto Viejo we did not know anyone and had lots of questions. The owners and staff at La Botanica really got us connect and are some of the most helpful people in town. Go there and order anything and be satisfied, you can also by organic products that are great (coconut oil), and of course... More

My daughter and I were looking for a spot to relax and have breakfast at so we were told by more than one person that La Botanica Organica was where we wanted to go....they could NOT have been more right on. What a fantastic spot to experience where you are greeted with smiling faces, amazing energy and amazing food! We... More

A small place with a decent menu, but it was very over-priced! We went for breakfast and it cost more than most dinners we had in the whole country!

Joyce - thank you for taking time to write a review. Hope that you have enjoyed your trip through Costa Rica. Our breakfast menu items range from around $5 (US) to the highest item being $7 (US). It's hard to compare breakfast to dinner, and not knowing what you were eating for dinner it's hard to compare price. What I... More

I go to La Botanica for delicious coffee, chai tea, veggie burgers, and gluten free cookies. I stay for the vibe. Whether it's chatting with the passionate owners or talking to other diners, there ate always inspiring ideas and positivity flowing. Be sure to visit the restaurant, and then stock up on natural health products and artisanal clothes and jewelry... More

After reading the reviews, we were excited to try this restaurant. We rode about an hour from our hotel and asked if they did take away, they said yes so we decided to just order something small and portable and come back the next day in a taxi. The guy who took our order was nice, but kept asking us... More

Thank you so much for your review. This is great feedback. Thank you for posting the pics, it helps to see that the hummus doesn't travel well, and we can definitely explore different options. We so rarely get "to-go" orders, in fact less than once a week. However, we do have&use bio-degradable to-go containers, so I'm certainly shocked to see... More

My husband and I loved this place. Not only did one of the owners, Nathan automatically treat us like we were family, he was extremely passionate about what he was doing. That to us was a huge reflection of the quality of food he was serving. Every meal was perfectly proportional and satisfyingly good. The prices were a slightly less... More

Botanica Organica managed to do the impossible- become the favorite of the 11 and 13 year old set and the parents! The food is organic and delicious. The type of food that lingers in your memory or that you wished you could reproduce back home. It is soul food. Do not miss out on the homemade ice cream and cookies,... More

This was the nicest breakfast spot we found in the area. The whole wheat chocolate pancakes with bananas and pineapple syrup was incredible. Very large portion at a very reasonable price. My wife enjoyed the yogurt and home made granola. The breakfast scramble was also excellent. Great wi-fi connection if you need to connect with back home. Our regular server... More
