In NATIVU we love pets, and this is one of the few places in Santa Ana friendly to visit and eat with pets …
If you visit San Rafael of Santa Ana, you may want to visit cafeteria Wö Kàpi. It is a small, comfortable place, surrounded by nature, where you can also take your pet along to enjoy organic and handmade dishes.
Wö Kàpi is a family project that began in 2013 and has developed over time in a place with greater positioning.
One of its three owners; Daniel Balmaceda, studied gastronomy in Buenos Aires, Argentina and noted that within the community there was a demand to have the option of going to a coffee shop / restaurant that had an “environmental vibe” and in sync with our roots.
Also, be friendly with animals, which he likes very much and recognizes that they are an important part of Costa Rican families.
In this way, Wö Kàpi was born, which means “coffee seed” in bribri. Its main mission is to offer the public tasty dishes, which at the same time, are friendly to the environment throughout their process.
Environmental awareness for us is a vital differentiator, because we not only help the environment, but also the health of our customers, through good quality food. Everything is a balance, we can take care of our natural resources without giving up on tasty food.
Daniel Balmaceda – Wö Kàpi’s owner
Consistent with this philosophy, for the meals served in the coffee shop, the greatest possible amount of organic ingredients is used. And the local staff is also instilled a strong environmental awareness.
In this way they recycle milk cartons, eggs, mushroom boxes, etc., and at the time of cleaning they use biodegradable products.
Apart from the ecological issue, for Don Daniel, it is important to offer a variety of foods, which are out of the monotony. This is why, in addition to having a fixed menu, each month they rotate options of dishes during the week.
They also offer the service of breakfast food, functional shakes (which were made with the support of a nutritionist), gluten-free coffee shop / pastry made in the same place and lunches.
It is clear that Wö Kàpi coffee shop is a different place that seeks to involve the community in the enjoyment of gastronomy, from a pro-environmental perspective.
