Bagelmen's is a chain bagel shop here in Costa Rica (maybe world wide). I went for a bagel and coffee this morning and had a mixed impression. I ordered a "everything" bagel with cream cheese and sliced tomatoes. I'm still working on my Spanish, and they their English. One of the managers spoke English and instructed the cashier of what I was ordering. The total was c3,100 ($5.30 us), which I thought was very expensive. When I received my order, it ended up being sun dried tomato cream cheese and no sliced tomatoes. So, my order was lost in translation,

Today was my first visit to the Oasis Cafe. It's tucked away just off the main road in Escazu. There menu has a little bit of something for everyone, mainly vegetarian items with some chicken. I ordered the Veggie burger which came with a choice of soup or salad. I choose the salad, which was excellent, with pineapple, purple cabbage, cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, carrots, lettuce and an awesome vinaigrette. The salad could have easily been enough for lunch. The Veggie burger was also amazing, served on a toasted baguette. All for only $3,000. Definitely give this place a try. I

The Bueno Tierra Cafe is a nice treat in the heart of Escazu. Fresh, mostly organic and vegetarian food. I recently went for breakfast and the fruit salad with honey and yogurt. Yum, it was delicious. Additionally, I asked for glass of water and she brought me water with mint and ginger in it, which was excellent. They also have coffee and teas. Hopefully I'll have a chance to go back here this weekend.

Spoon is a modern cafe with a nice selection on their menu. They have great coffee. The prices tend to be a little high and the service is not the best, especially, if you don't speak Spanish. Every time I've been here, I always end up with a good tasting meal, weather it be breakfast or lunch. But, I always walk away thinking I could have gotten the same, somewhere else
