The healthiest heartiest meal I’ve had in Bacalar. They make everything in-house including their almond milk! The chunky monkey smoothie was delicious. Also had the avocado toast and the pancakes. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Great breakfast/brunch spot for fresh smoothie bowls, sandwiches, smoothies and more. :) Loved the fresh made chocolate, nut loaf (they called pancakes)
We enjoyed the vibe here and every dish we got. Fair priced for the portion sizes.

Smoothie Tropicana
I recently visited Yerbabuena Smoothie Bar in Bacalar, after seeing its great reviews on Google. However, my experience was quite disappointing.
The wait time for my smoothie bowl was excessively long, clocking in at over 40 minutes. When it finally arrived, I was upset to find that it resembled more of a soup than a proper smoothie bowl. I had one spoonful and left the rest it was inedible.
To add to the disappointment, the toast I ordered was burnt and dry and the other meal we ordered came out wrong and had to be taken back to kitchen to fix. It was clear that attention to detail was lacking, which further detracted from the overall dining experience.
Another disappointment was the pricing. I paid 40 pesos for a lemonade. However, I was shocked to discover that an additional 50 pesos was added if I wanted it made with mineral water. 90 pesos for a lemonade!
The was the worst I have encountered in a long time. The lady serving us had a perpetually unhappy demeanor and appeared as though she would rather be anywhere else than serving customers. We had to specifically request menus and then ask to place our order, which further highlighted the lack of attentiveness from the staff.
I was quite shocked as all the other reviews seem good - maybe they were having a bad day? But i will def not be going back. I can forgive mistakes but bad service and attitude I can't.

Excelent service! Everything is prepared at the moment and they have an open kitchen :)
The chia bowl (chida) is not to sweet and tasted homemade which was exactly what I was looking for. The toasts and breads also seem to be baked and prepared by the chef as well as all the different hummus, which were a bit bland on the spices side, but overall good :)
The garden inside is very nice and chill for very hot days and the service was very friendly and gentle!!
Considering Bacalar is as small place with few options to eat, I'd definitely recommend this for a healthy breakfast 🍳☺️

Absolutely delicious and lovely to have a healthy option. Also much better coffee than I’ve had other places. We had breakfast but they have options for lunch and smoothies as well.

Lovely little healthy food place. I had a sandwich with loads of greens and added an egg. Delicious! Also had the preciosa salad with goats cheese and it was tasty whilst ‘clean’. Nice selection of interesting options. Staff are friendly and service is good
