Turtle Bay Cafe

All-day cafe and bakery near the entrance to Akumal Bay

Turtle Bay Cafe is the village's reliable all-day spot for breakfast, sandwiches, and good coffee. Pancakes, eggs done any way, fresh-baked pastries, and a strong cappuccino come out of the kitchen from early in the morning, which makes it a favourite of divers and snorkellers heading out at dawn.

The patio is shaded, the wifi works, and the menu shifts to Mexican classics — fish tacos, quesadillas, salads — by lunchtime. A practical, well-run place rather than a destination, but the kind of place you end up at most mornings.
