A cup of foamy goodness from Café Limani.
“Want some more?” What could be better than starting your day at the beach with someone offering to refill your mug? Well, if you are kind of a ‘coffee snob’ and they brought the generic big red can of coffee, ‘better’ is what you want. Luckily, Rocky Point’s got a coffee culture, and it’s not hard to find. Here’s three of the nicer options.
Popular places where the steam from an espresso machine can be heard (usually a minimum requirement in a serious coffee place) include Koffeehaus Restaurant, on the left as you head into the Old Port. Nice big foamy Lattes are the specialty (as well as the apple strudel).
On the patio, Puerto Vieja.
Across from the church and a block from the Malecon, there’s Puerto Viejo. They offer a patio for people watching, coffee roasted on site, and Luis Altimirano, owner and coffee expert. You can buy a bag of fresh roasted beans, and learn everything you ever wanted to know about coffee from Luis. Stop by Tuesdays for movie night.
Café Limani is right off the main city park with sofas inside, tables outside, and good strong coffee from Oaxaca. Comfortable. Check your emails and have a second cup.
