Bamboo Surf Café

The go-to breakfast and coffee spot in Santa Fe, sitting close enough to the action but without the Cloud 9 markup. High bamboo ceilings keep it cool even at midday, and the layout is open enough that you can spread out a laptop or take over a table with friends without feeling like you’re in anyone’s way. The banana Nutella crêpes are the thing to order – good, not just Instagram-good. Spanish latte and matcha both hold up, and the java rice and silog dishes mean this isn’t just a coffee stop for surfers wanting actual food before paddling out. Prices are cheaper than comparable cafés on the island, there’s reliable wifi, and they keep board games behind the counter. Ask for Jayson – he’s the one who actually seems happy to be there.
