Espresso on a working coffee farm with valley views
Perched on the slopes above Naranjo at 1,200 metres, this working coffee farm doubles as one of the most atmospheric cafés in the Central Valley. The beans are roasted on-site — you can hear the roaster from the terrace where single-origin pour-overs are served alongside freshly baked cheese bread. The view across the valley floor to the Cordillera Central is arresting at any hour, but the late-afternoon light turns the whole scene gold. Coffee tours run Tuesday through Saturday at 9am.
You'll visit a working coffee farm at 1,200 metres where beans are roasted on-site; coffee tours depart Tuesday through Saturday at 9am and include the roasting process you can hear from the terrace. The terrace overlooks the valley floor and Cordillera Central, with late-afternoon light creating golden tones across the landscape—plan your visit timing accordingly for preferred light. Single-origin pour-overs are served alongside freshly baked cheese bread in a cozy setting that combines café atmosphere with active farm operations.
Best Time to Visit
Visit November–March during harvest season when coffee plants are laden with ripe berries and you'll see active picking and processing—this is when the farm's tour experience is richest. Arrive early (7–8am) to witness morning operations and avoid afternoon crowds; afternoons can be humid even in dry season. December–January draws peak tourists, so aim for November or February–March for fewer people with the same excellent harvest activity.

Wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. Stayed for three hours working on my laptop and nobody minded at all. The cheese bread is extraordinary. Parking is tight on weekends.

The best coffee I had anywhere in Costa Rica, and the view from the terrace is jaw-dropping. The coffee tour is genuinely educational — they explain the entire process from seed to cup.
