I know I raved a little bit about Kaldi, but after they charged me $6 for a latte, I'm through. I have a new love:
La Casa del Pie.
This is very chistoso in Spanish, because "pie" is "pie" and also "feet". This leads to things like Dylan asking for a "pie de coco", pronounced in a way that he asked for coconut feet. It tasted much better than that, though. Desserts here are super-similar to English: queque is cake (pronounced kay-kay) and pie is pie and latte is latte and so on.
That being said, they have the TASTIEST desserts and DELICIOUS coffee and lots of art and chill music and the friendliest people. Case in point: Dylan accidentally threw away his movie ticket there, and they went through two bags of trash to get it. Or another: I have to interview people for my culture class, and the owner talked to us about piropos even after the place had closed.
Here is the best part, though. Tonight, I bought coffee with milk and a HUGE slice of carrot cake and a water, and it cost me 1400 colones... a little more than two dollars. And it's only a ten minute walk from the house. One of my best friends here, Liz, was actually the first to go and recommend it, so I see a lot of pie dates in the future.
I'm in love!
