Lunch - Blue’s Cafe Arte and Cafeteria, San Ramon, Costa Rica

Today we drove to San Ramon (about 40 minutes away) to have lunch at Blue’s Cafe Arte and Cafeteria. It has received good reviews and the menu looked interesting.

It took a while to find a parking space but we finally found one a short walk away. Blue’s is inside a small mall and there are tables inside the restaurant and also outside in a covered mall.

Service is fast and the servers very nice. It’s not a large restaurant but it’s upscale. They offer live music and today we enjoyed a guitar player.

For refreshments, I ordered the “ice macchiato de caramelo”. It was really good - I like iced coffee and of course caramelo in or on anything:

Lance opted for the “cappuccino doble espresso” and pronounced it perfect, with the double shot of espresso and a mouse:

I wanted a hamburger today, something I don’t often order. This one - “hamburguesa de la casa” - was excellent. The bun was not too “bready”. It had onions, cheese, lettuce and bacon and came with a side of fries and a dipping sauce.

For Lance, it was the “wrap Cesar de pollo”, accompanied with waffle fries. I really like these and I wonder where I can buy them - maybe in the frozen section in a grocery.

As is usual for us, we couldn’t eat everything on our plates so we came home with half a burger and half a wrap - there’s dinner.

If you are in San Ramon, do try this restaurant. They are doing a great job.

We turned on Waze to make sure we got out of the city in the correct direction to get to our house in Grecia. It took us on an indirect route which we did not expect. The route was not anything like Highway 1, the freeway. Instead, we were met with switchbacks going up and down, no shoulders, and steep dropoffs with no guardrails (because there were no shoulders to support guardrails). It was definitely cocktail hour when we made it home.
