    The begginin of SB Café Los Santos Tarrazú

    Coffee has been our passion since we opened our first coffee shop in San José, Costa Rica, more than a decade ago. This new endeavor in business has raised memories of her youth working coffee farms with her parents during the harvest seasons. We visited the Tarrazú area and caught us for its picturesque mountains of coffee and natural beauty. Of course, the tasty coffee and the culture around it.

    It didn't take much for us to decide this it would be our home. Then in 2013, our family decided to open a second coffee shop

    in the Los Santos area.
