Beso Negro

If you do one thing in Guanajuato, come here and get the Beso Negro. I've never had a shot of sipping chocolate before, but I'm pretty sure that for the rest of my days I'm going wish I didn't live thousands of miles away from this place.

Beso negro--delicious!

Very friendly staff. The espresso was good--not as bitter as I encountered over and over again in SMA. Cute little inside seating area (but not a ton of space so come early if you hope to work or read or stay awhile).

A chocolate drink

Delicious coffee and drinks. My group tried a chocolate frappe, the super-concentrated tiny cup of hot chocolate, and a choco-mocha latte type drink, coffee, and all were delicious. On later days I tried more chocolate-variety drinks. I also bought a bag of beans for around 50 pesos. I haven't brewed them yet, but that's a great price. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the decor is a bit lacking and the waitress couldn't be bothered to look away from her phone for a moment (even while taking our orders! We thought she was typing our orders into the phone to remember them, but then she asked us to repeat everything so we realized she was probably just texting or something! hah!) Anyway, they have wifi and there were people studying there. I'll be back!

Many people have said this is the best coffee in Guanajuato. I can't quite agree with that (see my other review for coffee in this lovely town), but still, they do make pretty good espresso drinks. The real draw to Cafe Tal is their quiet location, ample seating, free wifi, and charging ports at almost every table. It's just a nice place to study or just take a break while exploring the city.

Cool, small, third wave coffee shop. They had two drip options to choose from, a French roast and a medium roast. I went with the medium roast which was well balanced and very slightly fruity. I also got a cortado, which was a bit more bitter than I had hoped. This seemed to be a popular place with lots of people hanging out inside and out. I was bummed, however, that they didn't offer pour overs, cold brew, or light roast single origin coffee with fruity or citrus notes.

Latte

What can I say? Came here everyday of my trip, and this is my new favorite coffee shop in Mexico. The staff is exceptional, coffee is on point and they have some food in case you get hungry. Very reasonable prices for their coffee and they have beans to take home, I even bought one of their t shirts (130 pesos) because I love them so much! Excellent experience and ambiance, they offer winfows seats for people watching ans a small second floor. I could sit here for hours. I just cannot recommend this place enough. If you want a real coffee experience head here!

Sipping chocolate and a mocha
Elena E.

Who doesn't like sipping chocolate and mochas?! The storefront is quite small with only a handful of tables, but across the street they have a large seating area (my husband and I had ordered to-go and realized while waiting that extra space, so we got a table there). We enjoyed our sipping chocolate, mocha, and plate of fruit for a snack. This place was recommended by a local, so of course we had to check it out, and we're glad we did!

The mocha frappe is so goooooooood! The coffee and chocolate are full flavored and robust.

I think this may be the best coffee in Guanajuato. Good attentive staff. A little bit hard to find with GPS.
