There are coffee shops—and then there’s Malehu’s. Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica, we’ve created more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee. We’ve crafted an experience—rooted in culture, quality, and connection—that stands apart from all the rest. So, what makes the Malehus Coffee experience so unique? Let’s break it down.
1. From Our Roaster to Your Cup – Fresh is Our Philosophy
At Malehus, we roast all our coffee in-house, in small batches, with beans sourced directly from the rich volcanic highlands of Costa Rica. This means every cup you sip is made with beans that were roasted just days—or even hours—before. No middlemen. No stale inventory. Just peak flavor and unmatched freshness.
While other cafes serve coffee from global suppliers, we believe in keeping it local, sustainable, and honest. You’ll taste the difference in every smooth, full-bodied sip.
2. Homegrown Beans, World-Class Flavor
We’re proud to showcase Costa Rica’s best Arabica beans—grown at high elevations, hand-picked with care, and naturally bursting with flavor. Each region brings its own unique notes, and we honor those differences with custom roast profiles that highlight the bright, clean, and balanced flavors Costa Rica is famous for.
Every Malehu’s brew is a tribute to the land, the farmers, and the process that brought it to life.
3. Crafted with Care, Served with Soul
At Malehu’s, we’re not just serving coffee—we’re serving people. Whether you’re a local grabbing your morning fix or a traveler discovering Costa Rican coffee for the first time, we make every guest feel at home. Our baristas are trained to perfection and genuinely love sharing their coffee knowledge, recommendations, and warm hospitality.
You’re not just a customer here. You’re part of the family.
4. Breakfast & Brunch That Belong in Paradise
What pairs perfectly with your coffee? Our legendary breakfast and brunch. From crispy golden waffles and fresh pastries to hearty brunch plates and tropical fruit spreads, our menu is a celebration of comfort and flavor. Add in high-speed Wi-Fi and a relaxed, cozy vibe, and you’ve got your new favorite spot to linger a little longer.
5. A Coffee Shop With a Bigger Mission
We don’t just care about coffee—we care about the community and the planet. That’s why we support sustainable farming practices, reduce waste, and work directly with local producers. Every bag of beans you buy, every cup you enjoy, helps support ethical trade, local jobs, and eco-conscious choices.
6. Take Malehus Home With You
Love our coffee? You can take the experience with you. We sell our premium in-house roasted beans in-store and online, and we also supply to hotels, restaurants, and businesses across Costa Rica. Whether you’re brewing at home or sharing with your guests, Malehus coffee brings a taste of paradise to every setting.
Final Word: More Than Coffee—It’s Malehu’s
At the end of the day, coffee is about connection—between people, cultures, and communities. That’s what we aim to create at Malehu’s. Exceptional coffee, made with care, served with heart. Come in and feel it for yourself.
Because once you’ve had a taste of Malehu’s, you’ll know—this is no ordinary cup.
