Tranquilo Café
Café Tranquilo
A long-standing seaside café in Pelican Bay on Little Corn Island, famous for its coconut bread breakfast sandwich and smoked mackerel, and a popular evening meeting point.
Opened in 2009 in Pelican Bay, where the island village is, the café sits between two dive shops and is a gathering place for divers and backpackers. Its breakfast signature is a sandwich in local coconut bread, served with real hash browns and freshly ground Nicaraguan coffee. Lunch and dinner include smoked mackerel, fish tacos, burgers and barbecue platters, with plenty of vegetarian options. The café has its own generator and reliable Wi-Fi, and it accepts cards. There are no ATMs on the island, so this is handy to know. Prices are slightly higher than on mainland Nicaragua. No reservations are needed.
