The "coffeeshop" is really just a well-appointed kiosk with a few stools to sit at but take my advice and take a seat there - or on one of the nearby benches in the courtyard. Sipping your coffee in the quiet plaza will be exactly what you need to rejuvenate and refuel before heading back out into bustling Zihua Centro.ask for: Leticia
price range: ($$)
don't miss: Obviously, I'm a sucker for the iced lattes. Bamboo also has excellent (& strong!) cafe americano, espresso drinks (hot & cold), chai tea, and milk or yogurt-based smoothies. Prices range from 10 pesos for a small coffee to 22 pesos for most espresso-based drinks. (My triple shot adds 8 pesos, 4 pesos per extra shot). Take the time out to have a panini-style baguette as well. At 50-75 pesos (depending on the ingredients), the sandwiches might be more expensive than most local tortas but they are massive, have high quality ingredients, and if you stick around to eat at her sandwich bar, you'll get friendly conversation and perhaps a few Spanish pronunciation tips as well!
just the facts, ma'am: During low season, Bamboo's hours are loosely adhered to but you'll find Leticia manning the espresso machine by noon (but usually earlier) Wednesdays through Saturdays. She has been closing lately at 8 pm but will stay later if there are enough people milling about.
meet me @: It took me a while to find Bamboo because it is tucked away in Plaza los Adobes at the end of Paseo de Pescador. Walk along Playa Principal past most of the restaurants, fishermen, and souvenir stands towards Municipal Pier, turning right into the corridor immediately after you pass Shiva Bar.
