Sayulita Life´s Featured Business: Cafe Coyote
Café Coyote: A Piece of Old Sayulita
Tucked into a quiet corner of Sayulita, Café Coyote feels like a throwback to a simpler time in this beach town—a place where locals can gather, take a breath, and enjoy good food and a welcoming atmosphere. The café is owned by a woman who’s called Sayulita home since she was six years old. Her goal is to create a space that reminds her of what the town used to feel like—a laid-back paradise, where the focus was on community, good food, and a slower pace of life.
Fresh, Healthy, and Organic
Café Coyote is committed to serving food that not only tastes great but is also good for you. Everything on the menu is made from organic, locally sourced ingredients, with a focus on health and well-being. The café doesn’t use any seed oils, and they aim to keep things anti-inflammatory, so you can feel good about what you’re eating. From sandwiches and salads to smoothies, there’s something for everyone—and breakfast is served all day long.
One of the highlights of the café is its coffee, sourced from Tepic, which has a smooth, non-acidic flavor that pairs perfectly with any espresso-based drink. It’s the kind of coffee that you can enjoy all day, whether it’s in a cortado, flat white, or latte. For those looking for something different, there’s a great selection of teas, including pure matcha and chai lattes.
But what sets Café Coyote apart is its cacao menu. Known for its hormone-supporting properties and packed with magnesium, the café’s cacao drinks are both delicious and full of nutrients. It’s a perfect pick-me-up if you’re in need of something nourishing that also satisfies your sweet tooth.
Something New Every Day
There’s always something to look forward to at Café Coyote, especially if you come for the “Dish of the Day.” From comforting chicken soup to hearty chili and classic Mexican dishes like carne en su jugo, the daily special is always something fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It’s a great way to experience the diverse tastes of Mexican comfort food, with a healthy twist.
And for those with a sweet tooth, there’s always a rotating selection of fresh-baked treats, including chocolate chip cookies, brownies, pastries, and egg muffins. They’re perfect for grabbing on the go or enjoying with your coffee while you relax in the cozy space.
More Than Just a Café
Café Coyote is more than just a place to grab a bite. It’s a space that encourages connection—whether you’re catching up with friends, reading a book, or simply soaking in the vibe of Sayulita. The café has a book exchange where you can leave one read and pick up another, so it’s easy to settle in for a few hours and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.
There’s also a selection of local ceramics, notebooks, and original artwork available for purchase, showcasing the talent and creativity of Sayulita’s vibrant community. It’s the kind of place where you can spend hours just being part of the rhythm of the town.
Now Open for Dinner
Recently, Café Coyote extended its hours and is now open for dinner! With the same focus on fresh, healthy food, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed evening meal. Whether you’re grabbing something quick or sitting down to unwind after a long day, the café’s evening menu offers a cozy, welcoming environment to enjoy dinner until 9 pm.
Café Coyote might be a small neighborhood café, but it carries the spirit of old Sayulita—a place where people can come together, slow down, and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Whether you’re stopping by for a coffee, enjoying a daily special, or spending some time in the café’s comfortable space, it’s the kind of place that feels like home.
