Choco Banana is a corner cafe on Revolución street in Centro Sayulita, a longstanding institution for smoothies and breakfast plates on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit coast. It operates as a simple neighborhood cafe rather than a chef-driven concept, with a menu built around quick, healthy breakfast options for the town's surfing and beach-going crowd.

Choco Banana is a corner cafe on Revolución street in Centro Sayulita, a longstanding institution for smoothies and breakfast plates on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit coast. It operates as a simple neighborhood cafe rather than a chef-driven concept, with a menu built around quick, healthy breakfast options for the town's surfing and beach-going crowd. The acai bowl, topped with fresh fruit and granola, and the breakfast burrito are the two dishes most associated with the cafe, reflecting its focus on light, energizing food rather than heavier traditional Mexican breakfasts. The dining room is small and casual, with corner-facing outdoor seating that makes it a natural people-watching spot on one of Sayulita's busiest streets; the atmosphere stays relaxed and unhurried through the morning and into early afternoon. There is no beverage program beyond smoothies, juices, and coffee — this is a daytime cafe rather than an evening dining or drinking destination, and it closes by mid-afternoon. Reservations are not required, and seating is available on a walk-in basis, though the corner tables can fill quickly during the busy high season from December through April. Prices are modest, with most items in the $7 to $8 range.
