Practical information : Take a break Costa Rica

Timetable

Local cafés usually open early, often between 6 and 8 a.m., to cater for breakfast and morning coffee. Most then close between 4 and 8 pm, but some establishments may stay open later, especially in urban or tourist areas where demand is higher. The same goes for sodas, which open early, with a break from the kitchen usually between 3 and 5 pm.

Budget & Tips

If you're satisfied with the service, it's customary to tip the waiter 15-20%.

Age restrictions

The minimum drinking age is 18.

What's very local

Whether it's to relax, socialize or simply take a moment for themselves, Costa Ricans have a coffee culture that's a veritable institution in Costa Rica. Tico coffee" is usually very strong and served with sugar, accompanied by pan casado (sweet bread) or other small pastries. Terrace cafés are also popular, especially in cities like San José. Sodas, small family-run restaurants serving simple but very popular meals, are also a must for a lunch break or a quick coffee. In urban areas, Ticos gather in parks and public spaces to soak up the sun or meet up with friends for a snack or an ice cream(helado).

Smokers

Smoking is not permitted in public places.
