Almond crescent

We've been her 4 times in 9 days. Not only are the baked goods wonderful all the food items are delicious! We've had the yogurt, fruit and granola, the French toast and my favorite avocado toasts with grilled tomatoes! The sweet waitress Marley knows our names and orders! Today she introduced us to the chef of 20 years! We see lots of people working at the tables and are happy we are on vacation!

Nice place to rest. Asked for baño and was told only customers--fine I ordered a latte (would have anyway). Another woman came and asked in Español and was given key, no questions asked. Hmmmm. Latte had decent flavor.

Stopped in Cafe Dona Nena for a latte this morning before a day of shopping, eating and trying to stay out of trouble in San Jose... LOL Coffee is excellent, the employees super friendly, patient enough to help us with our broken Spanish! Highly recommend!

I love coffee and this place delivers! The small isn't so small here. Love to support locals! We had the Chai and latte.

Coffee is SO GOOD! Top 4 places in all of Cabo. Don't let the area or the shop fool you, they know what they are doing. Espresso based drinks are done very well. Food menu is for La Panaderia, next door.

Cortado muy rico!

Excellent coffee in a nice relaxing patio! You can chill with your drink in a chic and calm central area, or check out the shops nearby

We saw this place on Yelp and found it for breakfast. It's in old town San Jose right next to the Tropicana in Plaza Don Carlos. From what we discovered the Cafe Doña Nena is connected with the bakery La Panaderia Clyde, which is in the back of the plaza on the right. We asked at the Cafe about breakfast and the gentleman at the cafe directed us there. We ordered a turkey with mozzarella omelet and French toast with th berries & local honey and a chocolate donut. (Total $ 18 US) and an iced latte from the Cafe. Both brought everything to our table it the adorable open air courtyard with a very nice subtle water fountain. The food was 5 stars and the coffee was a little disappointing because they were out of vanilla but the gentleman working was very nice. We are older and would say we might prefer something a little more "Mexico" with full table service but the food was fantastic - seemed like my early 20's millennial Daughter's genre a bit more than ours lol

Chai latte MX$60

My son and I had 16 oz. iced chai lattes (MX$60 each) on a hot summer day, and they were delicious. They tasted like Oregon Chai lattes, which is probably the concentrate they used. We didn't order anything else, but the prices were reasonable, and the service was friendly.

Latte with Sri Lankan girls

Excellent coffee and price is very reasonable!!!! Highly recommend. Far better than American chains coffee. Guy from Seattle sitting outside recommended. That says it all.

Carmel frappé

Best Carmel frappé ever! So rich and creamy, I loved it and I'm one whom never orders frappé. This cafe is everything I love about trying them out during my travels. Just when you think their the same one pulls the rug from you and sucker punch you. I also had the crape Carmel cake and "omg", why hasn't this gone national? Countless crape's stack up to cake an cake is brilliant.

I love the place

Cafe Calafia - Pancakes and fruit with bacon and eggs

This morning, we visited Cafe Calafia, which is located within the plaza. What a lovely small…read moreplace. The restaurant is family owned and run. Upon arrival, Andres greeted us. Since I had not had my morning coffee, I ordered the large Americano, while my wife had the small one. She also ordered an orange juice, and commented how fresh and delicious it was, including the pulp. For the food, we ordered the Shrimp and Cheese Omelet, and the Whole Wheat Pancakes. The omelet was excellent, and came with an avocado, charro beans, and a side of homemade hot sauce and freshly made tortillas. I was making myself a mini-burrito with all of this and it was oh so good! The pancakes were some of the lightest I've ever had, and was served with your ch9ice of two eggs or fresh fruit. Since we already ordered the omelet, we opted for the fresh fruit. This dish gave us a nice balance with the omelet. Andres was always available if we needed to order something else, which I did with another Americano. As this was an early Monday morning, we had the place to ourselves. I left there with my stomach full and my mouth very happy. If you're in San Jose Del Cabo, please do yourself a favor and find this little hole-in-the-wall. Believe me, you will be so happy you did.

I found my favorite breakfast spot in San Jose…read more Cafe Calafia is a local treasure. This tiny gem is tucked just around the corner of the town square but has it's own unique vibe. This family owned restaurant takes care to prepare fresh high quality meals using seasonal and local produce. The menu is on point with numerous vegetarian and gluten free meals, fresh squeezed juices and organic smoothies. I ordered perfectly made huevos rancheros with black beans and avocado and a pineapple cactus ginger smoothie. It was probably the best brunch I have ever ordered. I highly recommend Cafe Calafia!
