Bread & Chocolate

Was craving american style breakfast and this place hit the spot! Came here multiple times and it was great each time, bit expensive for the area but I say its worth it to splurge! Staff is awesome and love their butter and jam actually.

This is a wonderful location, but be prepared to pay tourist prices. You had also better not leave without trying some chocolate! I got the French toast, mocha coffee float and the chocolate cheesecake. Highly recommend.

This place was so good! We came for coffee and breakfast. Our coffee came “deconstructed” as stated on the menu and we thought that was fun lol. My boyfriend had scrambled eggs, toast and potatoes and I had a fried egg and cheese biscuit. Both were really good. We left with some chocolates, granola and 100% cocoa since I forgot to grab some on our chocolate making tour. The service was friendly and probably the best we’ve had in the area.

We came here for dessert (3/29/24)and they did not disappoint. I will go back to try their breakfast.

Favourite breakfast place in Puerto Viejo. The food and service was great. Very fresh, colourful and yummy. Also great coffee!

So, we don't normally eat at the same restaurant more than once when we visit new places. Bread and Chocolate broke our rule. This was hands down our favorite breakfast place in Puerto Viejo.

Over two visits, we tried the Patacon Avo Toast, Banana Pancakes, Breakfast Bagel, and the Completely Homemade PB&J. Everything was so fresh and delicious. The only thing I'd pass on next time is the PB&J. It was good, but I sacrificed ordering the BBQ Sammy which I probably would have liked more.

They're closed on Monday, so keep that in mind if you're the type to plan every meal. Don't miss out on this spot. It's one of the best breakfasts we've had in Costa rica.

Great place. Love their soup, it was a cold soup so it was super refreshing also they have a Jerk chicken sandwich which was amazing. Highly recommend this place. Place is known for bread and chocolate, hence their name so come down for that if not for lunch or breakfast.

Bread & Chocolate is hands down the best Breakfast/Brunch spot in Puerto Viejo!
My boyfriend and I have visited here the last 4 mornings in a row because we just cannot get enough!

Sure, there are other offerings around town but nothing quite hits the spot like B & C.
Super friendly staff, wifi and delicious food!

The Banana Coconut Pancakes are truly delightful as is the Fried Egg Sandwich (get it on the Everything Bagel!). Love the Iced Soy Cappuccino as well!

A few days before we travelled to Puerto Viejo we met someone who had visited there several times. We asked her if she could recommend any good restaurants, and the first words out of her mouth were “Bread and Chocolate”. It didn’t take us long to figure out why that was her first recommendation.

Bread and Chocolate has it going on. Great food (and in the case of the baked goods off-the-charts delicious food), delicious coffees, reasonable prices, and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff who really appreciate your business.

While they serve some really delicious sandwiches that make for a satisfying lunch, our meal visits were focused on their amazing breakfasts. A couple of “can’t miss” items here: the Caribbean pancakes with a side of bacon; and, their justifiably famous “Completely Homemade PB&J”. We had very high expectations for both these breakfast classics, and they didn’t disappoint.

But, in all honesty, we spent most of our time devouring their amazing desserts, accompanied by various takes on delicious coffee. In the dessert category, top of the list has to be the best Coconut Cream Pie we’ve ever had - anytime, anywhere! But their various chocolate desserts are - not surprisingly - consistently amazing. And don’t miss the Blackberry Cheesecake. We almost did due to our chocolate and coconut cream pie fixation, but thankfully the owner convinced us to try the Blackberry Cheesecake and it was phenomenal.

Finally, they rock the coffee game every day. Whether you’re dialed into their hot coffees (we love both their Americano and their French Press), or their decadent iced coffees (the Salted Caramel Cappuccino in particular is just superb!) you can’t go wrong finding a perfect pairing for the scrumptious desserts.

Bottom line: we’ve been home for a week and we already miss this place. If you find yourself in Puerto Viejo make sure you find Bread and Chocolate and explore their menu.

Awesome food and worth the wait. The breakfast items were fresh. The coffee was good.

We visited Bread & Chocolate 3 times during our trip to Puerto Viejo because our family loved it so much, especially our daughter. The pancakes and French Toasties are hearty, delicious, and we loved the fresh strawberry jam, honey and cream. We all had the fried egg and cheese sandwich and the bagels and fresh eggs were incredible. They really care about food quality and the service is excellent. Best of all - you’ll never find a better brownie, or chocolate cake than here. The mint brownies and walnut brownies were incredible!

The name grabs anyones attention because it surly grabbed mines ! My sister wanted to check this spot out for breakfast so we rode our bikes up and indulged and I’m glad we did . The menu in general didn’t disappoint ! We had the Caribbean coconut pancakes & French toast, everything was super flavorful and fresh which I can always appreciate ! My sister ordered the deconstructed latte where you had to assemble everything yourself from the salted Carmel , cream and all . I ordered an iced salted Carmel latte I couldn’t taste any salted Carmel at all but it was still a good choice or picks . 10/10 recommend for brunch !

Best breakfast I've had in a long time! Fresh fruit is perfect! The drinks are amazing and the fresh made food is amazing!

What’s better than bagels for breakfast? Bagels with creamy scrabbled eggs, avocado and bacon!
This cafe is brilliant and was only 200m from our accommodation.
Opening at 6.30am, it caters for those early birds going to work, to catch a wave, heading out of town on an early bus or perhaps just the locals.
At 7am the place was about 50% full. Eyeing off other diners plates to see what was on offer. People were dining on waffles or pancakes or even just toast with butter and jam. Either way, very nice. Oh and ask for a cappuccino iced coffee - d e l i c i o u s!
I went here twice and had scrambled eggs with a bagel, avocado and bacon.
The second time I had toast with cream cheese and avocado.
Both filled me up for a day of activity ahead.
A must place for brekkie at a reasonable price.
Notes: staff exceptional helpful. Not wheelchair accessible. Toilets were very clean. Vegetarians and vegans catered for.

Lovely place with a huge variety of chocolates to choose from. The way they serve caramel latte is awesome! Definitely recommend ☕

So amazing! I don’t normally visit the same place in such a short amount of time but I will definitely be back. I ordered the iced salted caramel mocha and the Caribbean jerk chicken sandwich and it was all delicious. I also bought some of the jerk sauce and some of their chocolates. Will be returning to try the mocha cheesecake at least and buy a few gifts for some people at home. Delicious

Edit: I went back for the gazpacho and mocha cheesecake and they were both great, don’t miss out on this amazing spot

Great menu, delicious food, everything is freshly made including the bread! Go early, the place filla up quickly and there was a line out the door by the time I left. Totally worth it!

Hit Bread and Chocolate—trust me, you won’t want to miss it. The Caribbean pancakes are insane; coconut and banana flavors mixed with fresh butter and honey. Seriously, I didn’t want to eat anywhere else! Everything tasted fresh, and the coffee? French pressed perfection. A must-visit spot for an unforgettable, flavor-packed breakfast.

Excellent food, service, and ambience. I could taste the freshness of the ice cream in the milkshake. The jerk potatoes were superb. Perfectly cooked potatoes, fresh herbs, and the sauce was a good mix of spicy, tangy, and sweet. This is going to be my new work spot! Credit cards accepted.

Update: I came back for the cappuccino and mint brownie🤤🤤🤤

This restaurant is an absolute gem. Prices are pretty high, but worth it enough for me to return three times during my week in PV. Everything is made and served with love, and it shows. Their homemade bagels are suprinsingly awesome and chewy and they serve a personal-sized fresh press coffee. Highly recommended.
