    I found this place on Yelp, not knowing it was in the cutest little outdoor shopping area. Had great seating - both in the sun and shade. And the workers were so nice! Not to mention the INCREDIBLE TACOS that they have.

    Iced oat milk latte, fruit bowl and breakfast burrito!

    Great spot for an iced latte, horchata cold brew, amazing breakfast burrito and fruit bowl! Great relaxing vibe outside to relax in the morning!

    We LOVED this place! The coffee was spectacular, best croissant I've had outside of Paris (so snobby - I know!), but the best part were the friendly, attentive people working there. Thank you Nestor for being so kind to us! If you're in Cabo it's worth the drive to San Jose. Their patio is so lovely, and they told us that they're sharing the kitchen with el lugareño so I'm pretty sure the food is phenomenal as well. Awesome place!

    Really good coffee, extremely knowledgeable staff, great music. You can tell they have a passion for coffee and music. A great way to start the day. If you're near the art/gallery district, defiantly add this to your list of places to visit. We were in town for a week and tried almost everything on their menu. I now have a new appreciation for boutique coffee shops, sorry Starbucks. Special thanks to the knowledgeable staff. Looking forward to our next visit.

    If you are torn on what to select from the menu, you can't go wrong with the horchata coldbrew. The Hibiscus Iced Tea was incredibly refreshing if you are looking for a cool, refreshing non-coffee drink. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and offered great recommendation ins the area. Overall- excellent vibes and and a great alternative to all the Starbucks in Cabo.

    Horchata cold brew and chilaquiles

    Had the horchata cold brew and chilaquiles-both wonderful. I was having a difficult time finding good coffee in Los Cabos and Breakdown turned it around! Highly recommend going and grabbing breakfast, enjoying it in their outdoor courtyard.

    Hidden coffee shop with nice patio area. Amazing milk selection! Brand new, modern with some cool hats and mugs. Clean bathroom and friendly service. Mexican city ethical organic beans from BUNA coffee.

    It's closed down. We got an Uber here and it was a pile of construction so we found the coffee house nearby.

    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!
