Expensive but delicious

The tres leches was delicious! My partner loved the caramel cheesecake and the cinnamon scroll. Expensive but worth it.

Definately to try

I had amazing cheesecake and empanada with veggies. I can recommend the first one. The other one is ok, but taking into account how much overpriced costarican food is I would skip empanada next time and stick to the good cake. The bakery is connected with Guacamole restaurant so you can sit there.

Best vegan bakery ever

When we went there wasn’t any savoury food ready yet (it was a Sunday) but there were so many vegan options for sweets, and I wanted everything! I ended up trying the chocolate cake and lemon pie and both were delicious. It was a bit of a trek for us to get to (we made the trip across town especially and it was worth it) but if it had been closer we’d have visited every day! I’ve been craving their food since I went!

Na słodko i na słono😊

Bardzo polecam to miejsce. Zjedliśmy croissanta z serem i szynką, empanadę i pie de limón.
Po kilkunastu dniach w Kostaryce byliśmy nieco zawiedzeni wegańskimi opcjami, ale to miejsce było idealnym zakończeniem naszej podróży.
Wpadajcie do Puralma!🌱

Lovely pastries!

We got two 'ham & cheese' croissants for lunch the following day. They were very tasty although not really ham and cheese and more tomato - not sure if the server had just been confused about what was inside - either way we didn't mind as they were great. Probably even better if you had the fresh and warm!

Unfortunately we didn't have enough space after eating next door at Huacamole (vegan restaurant, see last review) to try any of the sweet treats. However, they all looked excellent.

As per next door, a little pricey for a croissant!

Unexpected Yumminess

After dinner next door, we stopped in to check out this cute bakery. We tried some cookies - one filled with apple cinnamon and the other with berry jam. They were both delicious. The owner was really nice with great advice on other restaurants to try. We ended up taking 2 savory pastries back to our hotel for breakfast the next day. Both held up great overnight. One was a ham and cheese croissant and the other a spinach potato empanada which were spiced really nicely. Definitely recommend!

Pros: Convenient location, Delicious pastries, Fantastic advice

Very good!

I was next-door at Huacamole and walked over and ordered a slice of berry cheesecake. They served it to me at the restaurant next-door. It was very good.

Great pie

Great pie! Though not cheap.
When eating at the adjacent Huacamole, you can get desert here (and eat it at Huacamole).

All vegan.

My favorite place in Barrio Escalante

Muchas gracias por todo Puralma💗 What a wonderful experience. Everything is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend coming here. Bring your non-vegan friends! If this doesn't prove to them that vegan food is delicious, I don't know what will! Some of my favorites were the pecan pie, passionfruit pie, and blueberry pie. They have a lot of gluten-free options too. Can't wait to go back

Pros: COFFEE! Their coffee is delicious. , The pecan pie. To die for., The vibes
