“ Very pleasant coffee shop - the coffee cups are huge and the coffee good!The shop is on a corner or the street that splits giving a good outside space and a glass interior. ”
“ We loved this restaurant, our waitress Christina was very patient with our less than stellar Spanish! LOVED the Sopa Aguascalientes- on a chillier evening it was the delicious soup i needed. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ The food is pretty good. The breakfast or champions is awesome, is more American style but good. A lot of outdoor seating which is great. The coffee is meh but it's drinkable ”
“ Wonderful service, beautiful location. (Ps- I also just want to add that these negative reviews seem pretty off base. When I went for breakfast today the restaurant was packed, there were nearly no seats left. It was also busy yesterday when I came by. It seems generally people really enjoy the food and the service.) ”
“ Lovely location in the heart of Coyoacán. The staff was friendly even though it was January 1st. Some items were not available, which is understandable due to the holidays. The cochinita was a little too sweet for my taste, but mixing it with the avocado and habanero sauce made it much better. The pastries are my family’s favorite in the area. They offer a nice assortment of teas, coffees, and sodas on the healthier side. The enchiladas suizas were delicious, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. Prices are very reasonable, and there was plenty of parking nearby—though this may have been due to the date. It’s also an easy walk to the market and the park in the area. We will definitely come back to try more items on the menu. ”
