This is a lovely coffee shop with cool interiors and nice patio. They have their own brand of coffee among lots of cool gifts in their little store inside.

Sorstis is one of the nicest restaurants in town. Fun fact: I've used to be a dj there! It has a big patio and also indoor tables, all of them nicely located. Their menu is more on the expensive side of things but totally worthy. They offer a big selection of dishes like prime meat cuts, pizzas, salads, etc. They host a delicious brunch-like buffete on Sundays. Great option if you're looking for a place to celebrate a special date with a nice dinner.

I love this place, the interiors and architecture are very cool. A modern looking place inside an old house. Their menu is different from what you usually find in your average restaurant in La Paz. I recommend visiting this place at least one time.

This is a small organic market that takes place every Tuesday and Saturday mornings. It's fun! You can buy vegetables, bread, sauces, hand made products, etc.

This is the best place in town for "raspados", crushed ice on a cup with syrup. It's a family owned business and they've been doing these Raspados for dozens of years. You should try the "Naranjita" one although it's kind of spicy. "Naranjita" (little orange) it's an orange-like fruit that's sour and delicious, not available at supermarkets or any store for that matter. Very local fruit.

Essentials
Arámburo is a local chain of supermarkets that's been around forever! No wonder why, they have the best cow meat you can get in town. Their vegetables selection is good enough and have good promotions on wines and liquor ;) They have a cow piñata thing on their roof that they dress accordingly to special hollidays and celebrations, don't miss it! It's almost an icon of the city, we call it "La Vaquita" (the little cow). PRO TIP: there's someone selling tamales outside the supermarket entrance, don't miss those!

If you need to do your laundry, this is the best place to drop your dirty clothes and have them ready to wear again. It just got recently (as of June 2018) upgraded with new washing machines and great looking interiors.

This place is awesome! It's located right by the malecón on a terrace with incredible views to the city and ocean. Great for watching the sunset while having a beer. Their pizzas are excellent! You should go for pizza and beer for sure. They offer a beer sample where you can choose up to 4 different beers, all of them are great (it's a local brewery from cabo). Also, they rent paddle boards, so keep that in mind if you'd like something fun to do at the ocean during the day.
