Coffee Culture. Authentic Bubble Tea. Unreasonable Hospitality.

THE BAMBU STORY

Bambu began in 2012 on Caye Caulker. We knew authentic Bubble Tea, but we didn’t know much about business. That was just the prologue.

In 2014, we brought the dream home to San Ignacio. With no budget, we became the cleaners, contractors, and dreamers. We gave away tapioca for months, turning skeptics into believers. We built this by hand because the Twin Towns deserved something extraordinary.

By 2019, we expanded to Santa Elena, introducing specialty coffee to a town used to instant. We obsessed over the quality of every latte and every breakfast plate. We learnt as we went, but we made a choice: Get better, never boring. We never wanted to lose the chaos.

Today, we are proud to have ignited the cafe culture in Belize. But we are restless. We are always working on fresh ideas, building new spaces that are distinct, unexpected, and designed to be a palace for the people, offering world-class energy with a neighborhood soul.

We are built by hand, powered by community, and driven by a simple truth: Service is Black & White, but Hospitality is Color.

Welcome to Our Organized Chaos.

An Introduction to our MENU

THE COLD BAR

BUBBLE TEA | SLUSH | SMOOTHIES | BLASTS

  • Signature Milk Tea (24oz)

    7.00
    The big one. 24oz of our house milk tea with tapioca. It's the reason most people come here.

  • Classic Milk Tea (16oz)

    6.00
    No gimmicks, just a solid 16oz bubble tea. Black or Green tea base, shaken cold with tapioca.

  • Shaken Fruit Tea

    5.00
    Ice cold tea shaken with your choice of fruit flavor. It’s crisp, sweet, and beats the Cayo heat every time.

  • Frozen Fruit Slush

    5.50
    An icy, blended fruit slush available in 25 flavors. Loud colors, cold texture.

  • Market Fresh Smoothie

    5.50
    Real fruit, blended smooth. Order it with milk for creaminess or without for a pure fruit hit.

  • The Oreo Blast

    9.00
    Most people call it a frappe, but we call it a Blast. The Oreo Blast is the legend, but check out the Blast lineup for flavors. 16 and 24oz.

The Kitchen

Grilled Cheese | Wraps | Subs | Desserts

  • The Grilled Cheese

    8.75
    Not your childhood grilled cheese. A molten, two-cheese collision on golden toast. It’s messy, it’s heavy, and it’s perfect.

  • The Grilled Cheese (with Ham)

    10.75
    The heavyweight champion. We take the grilled cheese and force-feed it layers of ham. Come hungry or don't come at all.

  • Thai Chicken Wrap

    10.00
    The Cult Classic. Thai chicken meets our signature mango sauce. Sweet, savory, and arguably the most addictive thing on the menu.

  • The House Sub

    10.00
    The daily ritual. Packed with ham, cheese, and our house sauce. It’s the fuel that gets San Ignacio through the afternoon.

  • The Mini Cake

    10.25
    A whole 4-inch chocolate cake. Technically 'shareable,' but we won't judge you if you eat the whole thing in the car.

  • Matcha Muffin

    5.00
    Green, glazed, and dangerous. Earthy matcha meets blueberry glaze. It sounds like a clash, but tastes like a masterpiece.

THE COFFEE LAB

ESPRESSO | HOT & ICED LATTE | MACCHIATO

  • The Grand Iced Latte (24oz)

    8.50
    Two shots of espresso over ice and milk. A massive 24oz caffeine hit for long days.

  • The Super Latte

    7.50
    Steamed milk and double espresso. No frills, just strong coffee and perfectly textured milk.

  • Vanilla Bean Latte

    8.00
    Our House Latte spiked with our own vanilla syrup. Sweet, aromatic, and strong.

  • Almond Barista Latte

    9.50
    Steer clear of lactose without losing the texture. Smooth almond milk and bold espresso.

  • Short and Strong

    4.50
    An Italian-style macchiato. 4oz of intense espresso marked with a dollop of foam. For the purist.

  • Velvet Flat White

    6.00
    Less milk than a latte, more punch. Smooth micro-foam over strong espresso.
