Sara Lindsay
“Sara’s” is named after founder and owner Sara Lindsay, a Canadian native and entrepreneur. Sara relocated to Costa Rica in 2022 eager to start a business. Her passion for food and beverage, as well as her desire to connect with local communities, inspired her to open a health-conscious restaurant in November 2022. Equipped with her own recipes and values around health and nutrition, she set in motion "Sara’s Smoothies & Salads."
The restaurant has since rebranded to “Sara’s” following a move to a new, central location with extended hours. Sara's now offers brunch, lunch, and late-night bites with a continued commitment to clean, healthy, fresh, homemade and sugar-free food and beverages.
Sara's Values
Health and Nutrition
Fresh and Local products
to fight inflammation and promote sustainability
"At the core of Sara's values is fighting against inflammation within the body by choosing fresh ingredients, and thus supporting local economies.
Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, however chronic inflammation - usually associated with processed foods and poor lifestyle choices - can lead to various health issues. At Sara's, we believe that diet plays a major role in managing inflammation and that the integration of raw, fresh, locally-grown produce into your meals can significantly improve your health.
Fresh fruit and vegetables rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals help reduce inflammation and aid with digestion. In addition to being fresh and nutritious, choosing to work with local producers to gain access to the fresh products helps supports local economies and reduces carbon footprints thus contributing to your health and a more sustainable environment.”

Our Roots
"Inspired by the beauty and tranquility of Costa Rica, we decided to fully immerse ourselves in this enchanting environment. This decision was not just about relocation; it was a commitment to a lifestyle that cherished peace, nature, and community. Each day became an opportunity to explore the diverse landscapes, from the vibrant coral reefs to the breathtaking volcanic mountains. We engaged with local traditions, learned to surf, and savored fresh tropical fruits, all while cultivating connections with the friendly locals who embodied the essence of "Pura Vida." This journey transformed our perspective on life, teaching us the value of mindfulness and gratitude. Costa Rica wasn't just a destination; it became a sanctuary for our souls, a place where we could nurture our dreams and live authentically." - Sara
