Traveling from Popoyo to Rivas just got a lot more rewarding thanks to a new café set on a long-standing farm, offering a unique dining experience right in the heart of Rivas’ bustling mercado.
Café Santa Lastenia stands out for its farm-to-table, natural food and really good coffee. There is nothing else like it around Rivas.
The café sits on a hidden acre of fruit trees tucked right in the middle of the market. You would never guess it was there. But the secret is out.
If you care about fresh ingredients and a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, this spot makes the trip worth it, whether you needed to run errands or not.
A Café Rooted in Nature and Community
Café Santa Lastenia is all about fresh, natural food. The owner grows many of the ingredients in her garden behind the café and on her nearby farm in Rivas, so everything feels simple, local, and full of flavor.
Being right in the middle of Rivas’ market is part of what makes this place special. On a day trip from Popoyo, you can take in the energy of the market, get your errands done, and then step into the café for a quiet meal or a cappuccino. It’s just steps from the busy streets, but somehow feels like a completely different space.
The location also means you’re surrounded by local life. Vendors selling fresh produce, fixing jewelry, and offering all kinds of goods are right outside, which makes it an easy stop if you want to experience a bit of everything in one place.
Friendly Service That Feels Like Home
Beyond the food, the café has a warm, easygoing feel. Martha and her family make you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you arrive.
That kind of service changes the whole experience. It turns a quick stop into a place you want to stay a while and if you decide to, this place has some beautiful rooms to stay at in the garden.
You can feel the care behind this place, in both the food and the way that people are treated.
