The Space

The room sits in one of Mexico City's more upscale corners, warm and inviting, with limited seating that fills fast. Kids and dogs are both genuinely welcome here.

The Coffee

The espresso drinks are excellent, precise and consistent, easily worth the trip on their own. The pastries are high quality too, buy one to go with whatever you order to drink.

The espresso is excellent. The room wants you to stay for a second cup.

The Vibe

Staff are warm and attentive, and the room is genuinely built for lingering over a slow breakfast. Prices run high for the neighborhood, and the neighborhood itself isn't cheap.

The Verdict

Order the espresso, get a pastry, and settle in if you can find a table. Seating is limited and this place earns real loyalty, so go early or be ready to wait.
