Don't be fooled by the outside ... the inside is lovely, friendly and intimate. The service is exceptional and the food ... well, it's great no matter where you go on the menu from 'Chef's Specials' to the wood-fired pizza. Oh, and DO NOT LEAVE without ordering their homemade ice cream ... you won't be disappointed. read more

The food and the staff were impeccable. We absolutely loved our meals here. The pancakes are amazing, coffee hit the spot and the smoothies and chia pudding were beyond expectations! The front is unassuming so, you could easily miss it if not looking closely. We have been told that their ice cream is some of the best ever. We will be back many times for breakfast and ice cream! read more

They were only open for ice cream while we were there but it's worth finding this place. Really cool decor and patio and amazing gourmet ice cream for less than $3 per scoop. Hope we can try their food next time. read more

A bit difficult to find, this cafe is a delightful surprise once you find it! Tables are beautifully set in a garden setting. I was in search of good coffee and was thrilled to find Naef Cafe. The food is healthy and quite civilized; fresh ingredients and a menu that would satisfy the health nut. The cappuccino was top notch as was the mango smoothie and vegetable omelet. BEST ESPRESSO in town. read more

One word. Outstanding. Everything about this place is well done. Don't forget to take some coconut sorbet home... read more

It was good, if you're down to pay NYC prices in an area where you can get a full plate of fresh shrimp for $11. Most glasses of wine were like $17 for a sad dribble of a pour :( I had the baked gnocchi though and they were super delicious--highly recommend. The ice cream was not that exciting, the piña mezcal tasted like the pineapple icey they sell on the street in New York. Tbh I like the paletas down the block way better. This restaurant manages to bring the high end resort vibe into the pueblo and it felt stressful and overwrought. read more

Such a cool space & atmosphere. I was studying for law school exams while in Punta Mita, and Naef was the perfect tranquil location to study in the mornings. Great attention goes into making and plating the food. read more

This was a great find! Very cozy atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious. Even the presentation was beautiful. The waiter was so friendly and accommodating. They also make their own ice cream.

We saw how highly rated Naef Cafe was so the three of us went over to give it a try. A bit off the beaten path but well worth it. A truly charming space in the courtyard area with numerous nice seating options. The food selections are very creatively done, well prepared and delicious. The French toast and the pineapple hotcakes were so worth it. If you like Chai Tea, try the dirty Chai with a shot of espresso in it. We liked it so much we were back the next day. One other point of interest. The owners are very community oriented and involved in numerous projects that assist the community they live in. Great people with great passions, for their community and their restaurant! Thank you. read more

Absoulitely delicious homemade ice cream. My favorite ispineapple Basil Sorbet and pistachio . read more

Have been coming to this area for a few years and just found this spot. It was fabulous for breakfast. A short walk from our condo. Service very nice beautiful presentation, and fast. Had to buy some of their ice cream to bring back to the condo. Will definitely be going back! read more

Great quiet spot for breakfast or lunch. A little off the beaten track but certainly worth the 5 minute walk from the beach. Very friendly staff and must try the gelato! read more

One of my PM favorites! Naef is off the beaten tourist track and is oh so good! The space is beautiful! Tropical courtyard oasis. The food is excellent. It is a lighter and modern menu. They have tons of delicious coffee drinks, soy, coconut and almond milk. You can get all the traditional Mexican breakfast favorites and they also have avocado toast, lentil salad, chia pudding and some vegan dessert options. The servers are kind and helpful. I always make a point of coming here at least once during a trip to PM. read more

We loved eating at Naef cafe. The most expensive meals we had while in Punta Mita but with great ambiance, healthy dishes, and high quality ingredients. We had avocado toast, chia pudding, a smoothie and coffees. We enjoyed everything we had and also the time we spent with the very friendly dog who came over to our table named Guapo. read more

They do dinner now and it was fan-freakin-tabulous! Best meal I had in Mexico, and maybe in the last year..... The owner is trying out the dinner scene and is very eager to check in and see how you are doing/how the food is. He kept all the same staff from when he did breakfast and explained how he is continously looking for locally sourced ingridients from Punta de Mita. I had the chicken with mole with was served on mashed sweet potatoes and roasted veggies I beleive. It. was. to. die.for. I also had a basil margarita. My favorite part had to be the cheese they brough out before hand which was a 4 soft cheese blend, plated with carmalized onions and nuts and seeds I beleive. It was truly a delicous meal and somewhere I cant wait to go back and visit. Super friendly atmosphere but very classy too if you are looking to make it fancy. Try it! you wont regret. read more

Great food & a great price! Friendly staff. Awesome place for a pre/post surf breakfast/lunch in Punta Mita!!

This is a fantastic breakfast spot. Had the burrito which was served with an assortment of salsas. Delicious! Hubby had huevos rancheros and cannot wait for more. Ordered a Birthday cake and they made it same day. So good! Ice creams are fantastic too! read more

My wife discovered Naef Cafe on Yelp, and we love it!!!! We need to travel to high season to get our fix. Love the location in Punta Mita neighborhood, and caring owners. Good food, relaxing environment, and a well kept secret. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. Superb restaurant. We came twice on our Punta Mita trip. Super fresh ingredients and a nice break from Mexican food. The hot cakes, French toast, breakfast burrito and shrimp burrito were all amazing. Don't miss this spot. read more

Super nice people and the owner (Pierre) and I hit it off immediately. Food (Gluten free and lactose free options) was very good (great presentation and home made ice cream and sorbet-yum!) and the outdoor garden seating lots of fun and relaxing. We will be back! read more

A true diamond in the rough. We went on a Friday night and NAEF totally exceeded our expectations. Food, service, atmosphere and entertainment 5+++ star all the way. A must try if you're in Punta Mita. read more

If going for the first time, ONLY use the directions directly from NAEF's website. Apple/google etc are wrong. Great ice cream. Wish the website would have noted that they close the restaurant (ice cream still available) during summer/off season. This is a small restaurant w/ outdoor seating. I would call first to see how busy/open (using what's app - easier to get Mex # pre-fix right :-))). read more

This restaurant has delicious food. I've been several times and each time is better than the last. I just had a Croque Monsieur and it was perfect. Just what I wanted. My husband had the chefs omelet and he said his was delicious as well. He also ordered the pancake and he could not eat it all. By the way, the green juice is not to be missed. You will not be disappointed when you dine at Naef Cafe. read more

Amazing. Been in punta de mita for three days. Came here three times. Definitely have the omelette de chef, which has goat cheese, tomatoes and spinach. Also, I don't think it's on the menu but get a side of fruit; it's large enough to share. Omelette, fruit and an iced coffee came to around $16 including tip. Well worth it! read more

Great food and service. Also a very peaceful place to spend time with family and friends

We found this spot on our last trip to Punta Mita and fell in love. Everything about it was top-notch and we ended up eating there at least once every day - which we never do! Naef Cafe will definitely be on our list for the next trip. read more

Very good food great service. Seating is all outdoor, somewhat basic . The quality of food makes up for the ambiance.

Love this place. Always come to Naef every time we're in Punta de Mita. Off the beaten path and is a special little oasis. Great egg dishes, pastries, smoothies, salads and even a good burger if you're jonesing for it after too much Mexican fare on vacay. read more

Omg! Amazing little cafe. Located in the middle of nowhere but once you walk inside it's like a secret garden. Wonderful food and service. Best caramel macchiato ever. Gelato to die for. Just sad I found this place two days before I'm leaving. read more
