Northside Cafe Sayulita

Northside Cafe is a breakfast and brunch spot on Calle Gaviotas Sur in Centro Sayulita, on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit coast. It operates as a straightforward neighborhood cafe rather than a chef-driven concept, focused on classic Mexican breakfast plates served quickly and consistently each morning. The huevos rancheros, fried eggs over tortillas topped with a ranchero sauce, and the chilaquiles, tortilla chips simmered in salsa and topped with cream and cheese, are the two dishes locals and repeat visitors order most. The dining room is small and informal, with a handful of indoor and sidewalk tables, strong coffee brewing throughout service, and fresh-pressed juices rounding out the menu; the atmosphere is casual and unhurried, popular with early risers, surfers coming off the morning swell, and remote workers. There is no beverage program beyond coffee, juice, and the occasional micheladas — this is a coffee-and-food stop rather than a bar. Reservations are not accepted or needed since the cafe only serves breakfast and brunch hours, closing at 2PM daily; arriving before 9AM avoids the mid-morning rush when tables are hardest to find. Prices are budget-friendly, with most dishes under $10.
