Waking up early on vacation and getting a belly full of delicious breakfast is one of my guilty pleasures. I love being able to seek out the best breakfast and brunch spots when traveling! As a fairly popular surfing town, Sayulita has dozens of options for where to eat for breakfast. And if you look on Tripadvisor, they all say the same.

But where can you really find the best breakfast in Sayulita or the best brunch? (For those who wake up a little later!) Unless you have breakfast included at your hotel, you’ll need to go out in town to find the first meal of the day.

I give you my top recs below! Here is my list of the best places to get breakfast or brunch in Sayulita, Mexico!

Sayulita’s Best Cafés for Breakfast & Brunch

1. Miscelánea Cafe (the best in Sayulita)

Miscelánea Cafe in Sayulita is the best place to enjoy a truly soul-satisfying breakfast (or brunch). Unlike other places in Sayulita, here you can wake up slow. And I love that!

Everything from the cozy, boho atmosphere to the natural decor and aesthetically-plated meals is to love. It also doubles as the best cafe in Sayulita for digital nomads which is perfect for us!

Menu: Features Mexican and international breakfast/brunch with a unique twist. Earthy, wholesome, and organic ingredients are combined to create eye and mouth-pleasing combos. Elote (corn) pancakes, French toast, avocado toasts, Mexican chilaquiles, Oaxacan hot chocolate, beet lavender lattes…

Price: The price point is perfect for the value and you can pay by cash or card (if over $250 pesos).

Hours/Address: Miscelánea can be found tucked away off the main street at Avenida Revolución 32a. Their hours are 8 am – 6 pm Mon-Sat and on Sundays, they close at 3 pm.

2. La Esperanza

La Esperanza Cafe in Sayulita Mexico

La Esperanza is a great healthy-focused spot to find light breakfast and brunch food in Sayulita! You’ll find more brunch bowls, tacos, and power juices here rather than hotcakes or hot chocolate.

The food is made with attention and the juices and coffee are great breakfast pick-me-ups! The cafe can be found on one of my favorite streets in Sayulita just off the main square. There’s also a lovely colorful mural out front to take a picture of! Fun tip: They have live jazz every Thursday night!

Menu: Healthy bowls, salads, tacos, power juices, smoothies, small appetizers

Price: More tourist-oriented prices, though portions are hearty and healthy. You can also pay by card with a 3% surcharge.

Hours/Address: Calle Jose Mariscal 12A, a short block from the main plaza. Check their Instagram for events.

3. Organi-K Cafe (Best eco-conscious cafe in Sayulita)

  • organi-k in sayulita, mexico
  • poke bowl in sayulita mexico

One of our go-to places for breakfast or brunch in Sayulita is Organi-K which promotes organic, local, and vegan power bowls and smoothie bowls. We once met the owner who picked us up while hitchhiking from Sayulita to San Pancho and she was seemed really courteous and caring.

The location in Sayulita inspires a sense of tropical calm as the seating area sits next to the river under a large airy palapa. We love coming here to grab a breakfast or brunch bowl and work on our laptops for a few hours!

Menu: Poke bowls, power smoothie bowls, juices, smoothies, coffee/tea

Price: Fairly priced as its filling and all the ingredients are high-quality and mostly organic. You can pay by cash or card too. (Bowls cost around $140-170 pesos).

Hours/Address: Avenida Revolución 21B and open from 8 am – 8 pm. Follow them on Instagram.

4. Alquimista

Alquimista in Sayulita Mexico

For an off-the-beaten-track breakfast spot, check out Alquimista. (They also serve great lunch and early dinner!) However, for breakfast, this little corner coffee shop serves up fresh Mexican breakfast and coffee at an affordable price. It’s a hidden gem and we only discovered it by walking up and down all of Sayulita’s cute streets. The outdoor seating area is small yet cozy and the staff is known to be extremely friendly and courteous!

Menu: Organic coffee, agua frescas (like pineapple basil and strawberry ginger agua frescas). Mexican tortas, chilaquiles, huevos ranchers, in addition to pancakes, omelets, etc.

Price: $-$$ a budget-friendly find!

Hours/Address: Open from 8 am – 4 pm Tues-Sun. You can find Alquimista at the junction of Avenida Revolución and Calle Libertad (about a block from the central plaza). Check out their lovely Instagram page here!

5. Tierra Viva

Tierra Viva is a popular breakfast and brunch (and dinner!) spot in Sayulita with its open-air covered terrace. We have passed it so many times on our way to the beach (as it’s just a block away) and always stop to check it out. It gets busy quickly as it seems it offers the next level up from the larger breakfast spots like ChocoBanana, etc. Tierra Viva offers a more inviting, airy atmosphere in my opinion and they serve a smaller menu with high-quality local ingredients.

Menu: Mexican/American such as eggs benedict, pancakes/french toast, and a breakfast burrito, bowls, and bagels.

Price: $$ about the same as other more touristy places.

Hours/Address: Open 7:30 am until 10 pm. Located on Calle Marlin 10. Follow them on Facebook here.

6. ChocoBanana OR Cafe El Espresso

  • 7 Best Breakfast and Brunch Spots in Sayulita, Mexico #sayulita #mexico | Read the blog: www.bucketlistbri.com
  • ChocoBanana in Sayulita Mexico

You’re likely to come across either ChocoBanana or the Cafe El Espresso at one point during your time in Sayulita! I put both places here because they are very similar in menu, price, and location.

We have been to both on several occasions for breakfast and brunch and it’s always good, but nothing entirely exceptional! They are extremely accustomed to tourists and thus cater to tourists. ChocoBanana is one of the original cafes in Sayulita, so there’s the added feature of that place. But both are always packed full of locals and tourists for breakfast so if you want to go, go early to grab a seat!

Menu: Mexican, English, and American breakfast plates.

Price: A little pricey but has filling portions. You can easily pay by cash or card here as well.

Hours/Address for ChocoBanana: 6 am – 6 pm located right on the corner of the Plaza Principal facing the colorful Calle Delfines.

Hours/Address for Cafe El Espresso: Located on the opposite side of the plaza (can’t miss it). Open from 7 am – 10 pm. Find them on Facebook here.

7. El Original Cafe de Sayulita

  • 7 Best Breakfast and Brunch Spots in Sayulita, Mexico #sayulita #mexico | Read the blog: www.bucketlistbri.com
  • Sayulita Mexico Best Brunch and Breakfast

For traditional Mexican breakfast, head to the bright-pink building on the corner near the hippie market called El Original Cafe Sayulita.

This place is also always packed with both locals and tourists who come to taste the ancient Blue Corn tortillas. The cafe proceeds go toward supporting the native Huichol peoples and the Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and the Traditional Arts. It’s a good place to go before shopping at the hippie market (for example!)

Alternative option: If this place is full or service seems slow, walk a bit further down the street (away from the bridge) until you reach the Northside Cafe. Also a great spot with similar food for breakfast or brunch!

Menu: Blue corn tacos and quesadillas, chile con carne, sopes, agua del dia.

Price: Budget-friendly $-$$

Hours/Address: Ave. Revolución just before the bridge on the right-hand side of the street. Like their Facebook page!

So, who wins Best Breakfast and Brunch in Sayulita, Mexico?

With a town the size of Sayulita, there will be dozens of breakfast and brunch spots to choose from.

But I hope with this guide you can narrow down your selection and have a memorable, delicious experience! Again, my number one cafe for breakfast and brunch in Sayulita is Miscelanea Cafe.

Don’t hesitate to branch out and try other lesser-known places to eat!

"From Santa Catarina Palopó" 💜 I saw her gigg "From Santa Catarina Palopó" 💜

I saw her giggling and chatting with a friend from across the street and, despite my shyness, waltzed over to ask if I could take her photo. 

She was simply radiating sitting there; an amateur portrait photographer's dream. Except I don't even own a portrait lens and this was only the second time ever in my life that I whisked up the courage to ask for something that feels so... intimate. 

But without hesitation, she gazed into my lens and pierced my heart. It was like being drawn to a joyous light that I just couldn't resist. So I dared to ask. 

As soon as she said yes, I hurriedly clicked a few shots; rushing so as to not waste her time. After showing her portraits to her, she gave me a big nod and said softly, "de Santa Catarina Palopó" with immense pride.

I think her sweet smile & kind eyes speak for themselves... ✨

10 years together 💛😱 It’s not our annive 10 years together 💛😱 

It’s not our anniversary (it was technically last month, depending on who you ask) and we're not even celebrating Valentine's Day today, but...

I just wanted to remind the internet that I have a pretty badass partner (& not to mention the best cat dad) who puts up with both my silly madness and my need to live around the world in pursuit of adventure. 

If I have any advice for love and long-term relationships, it's this:

Keep choosing each other;
again, and again, and again,
over everything else, no matter what you go through. 

❤️❤️❤️

Can you guess which one of us first "friend-requested" the other all those years ago? 😉

On every adventure, I’ve thought of you. I am On every adventure, I’ve thought of you. 

I am the granddaughter of a guiding light, a woman so lovely and gentle and spiritual and strong that she attracted to her all walks of life. 

I was the butterfly enamored by her glow. The ship lost at sea that found safety at her shores. 

On every adventure, I’ll think of you. On every adventure, you’ll be with me.

Add this hike to your Caribbean bucket list! ☀️ 

Guadeloupe is rich in breathtaking, diverse landscapes — La Pointe des Châteaux is no exception! Magnificent rocky pillars jut out of the ocean & create a magnificent view that’s best experienced at sunrise from atop Morne Pavillon, the hill marked by the large cross on its summit.

TIPS FOR VISITING:

🚗 Like everywhere in Gwada, you'll need a rental! Parking is free.
☀️ Sunrise and sunset are around 6am and 6pm
🥾 The hike itself only takes 15-20 minutes and is easy!
🦀 Watch for wildlife and other critters (this is a protected heritage site!)
🌊 Plenty of beaches are nearby, including a nude beach and a private beach with cool wave splashing action called "La Douche" (meaning shower 🚿)

I'M READY FOR YA, 2022 ✌️ HERE'S WHY: ✍️ I'M READY FOR YA, 2022 ✌️ HERE'S WHY:

✍️ 2022 is going to be the year I become a published author. 

💛  It's the year I celebrate 10 years of love & adventure with my best friend. 

💻  It's the year I register my LLC and level up my business. 

🌎  It's the year I hit my bucket list of "slow living in 10 countries" as a nomad and the year I travel and discover even more destinations. 

And some folks will think (do think), "overnight success." But the reality is (as my sweet friend @redwhiteadventures reminded me), it's been about putting one foot in front of the other -- just like on a hike up a mountain (or in this case, to the cliffsides overlooking the Caribbean and Atlantic!). 

2022 is going to be the view from the top!! (Sure, I may get there, and see another summit I want to climb. But I'm so ready for the challenge(s), the journey, & the adventure!) ⛰ 

What are you excited about in 2022?! 

📍Hell's Gate / Porte d'Enfer, Guadeloupe (click the link in my bio to read about this hike!)
