While staying at a hotel in Limón for a couple of weeks, the included daily breakfast was at Shugaa. In my 3 months in Costa Rica I can honestly say that those were the best breakfasts I've enjoyed in this beautiful part of the world.

Place is great and location too, it's a bit price for the food concept (kinda like what subway does for you but with a more home maid feeling ) We paid about $25 on a meal for 2 , ALERT!!! If you're ordering a wrap or sandwich the standard sauce seams to be mayo and ketchup !! I don't have a problem with this but i wanted a steak wrap ketchup and mayo doesn't really complement the flavors, boomer ...! So if you're like me makes sure to ask for alternatives on their SALSAS base on your meat choice, Desserts look really good and they're pretty tasty you can tell that they have the right balance on sugar so it makes the experience less guilty hehehe try the New York style Cheesecake!! Beverages !!! We had Mora (BlackBerry) and maracuya (passion fruit) not natural they're concentrated juices, at least they are honest about it.... about $4 each blend in smoothie

Small place but well equipped. Ask for the breakfast menu. Food was really good, staff were friendly. I like how they have a corner for the little kids. Cold A/C and clean bathroom. Only thing missing is Wi-Fi. I Recommend this place
