Our Story

Eat clean, feel good

Plan de Vida is a small, chef-owned café in Plaza Mar Azul, right between Playa Flamingo and Playa Potrero. We believe in vibrant, wholesome meals that make you feel good from the inside out.

Every morning we shop fresh, local and organic — then turn it into colorful bowls, sourdough toasts, a build-your-own salad bar and drinks that taste like Costa Rica. Kids are always welcome.
