Looking for the best coffee spots in Puerto Vallarta? You’ve hit the jackpot! As a local coffee lover, I can tell you that the cafe scene here is booming, and I’ve put together a guide to help you find the top places to get your caffeine fix. Whether craving the classic Cafe de Olla or fancy a flat white, Puerto Vallarta has something for everyone. Let’s kick things off in Zona Romantica and explore the best coffee hangouts in the heart of the tourist action.
A Page In The Sun
This cafe and bookstore is a Puerto Vallarta legend. For over 20 years, folks have been flocking here to enjoy tasty coffee while diving into a good book. A Page In The Sun was founded by two sisters passionate about coffee and literature. Now, it boasts a spacious spot and good people-watching, which locals and tourists love. They serve organic coffee sourced from the Sierra Madre mountains, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, pastries, and pies. It’s the perfect chill spot, especially on those hot Puerto Vallarta days! I recommend their breakfast, or if you crave something sweet, try their pineapple carrot cake.

El Sofa
Tucked away in Zona Romantica, El Sofa Cafe is an adorable little nook decorated with cool art and comfy sofas. Its relaxed vibe makes it a great place to kick back with a laptop and enjoy a cup of coffee. With a friendly atmosphere that feels like hanging out in a buddy’s living room (and a cute dog to boot), it’s a must-visit. Plus, they’ve got a tasty selection of bagels and breakfast items to munch on. The coffee and staff are excellent, and the food is unique, delicious, and reasonably priced. Omelets are the best. The bagel breakfast sandwich is delicious. Plus, they have an extensive collection of books for reading.

Cafetalito
If you’re looking for a quiet escape, head up the hill to Cafetalito, just away from the hustle and bustle near Pinnacle Residences. This cozy coffee shop is a little hidden gem I stumbled upon. With a few tables inside and outside, it’s a comfy spot to sip on some quality coffee. The friendly staff makes you feel right at home, and they whip up some seriously good breakfast toast that keeps customers coming back for more. The food is excellent and delicious. The chicken omelet and the breakfast sandwiches were also outstanding. The prices are quite reasonable too. You must also try their berry pancakes; they’re absolutely delicious.

The Sea Monkey
Right on the Malecon, The Sea Monkey is the perfect pit stop for coffee before or after hitting Los Muertos Beach. It’s not just about the caffeine; it’s a great place to relax and people-watch with a friendly crew serving classic coffee drinks and delicious frappes—don’t miss out on the 2-for-1 deals in the afternoon! No worries about those calories; you can stroll off your treats along the Malecon afterward! This is a great place to eat under umbrellas on the beach with your toes in the sand and enjoy a delicious coffee while reading a book or people-watching.
