Drinking a cup right now. Smooth, delicious - the best cup of coffee I've ever had. I wish I could buy it in the States.

Cafe La Lucha is seriously the best coffee in Mexico and no one else even comes close! Every time I visit family in Michoacán, I MUST bring some back and it truly is one of the best coffees you will EVER have. It is so smooth and just goes down amazingly! Anyway, on my recent trip to Mexico, I came here three times and the reason is: the coffee here is just phenomenal. Even though they have introduced Starbucks into Uruapan, this place just destroys it terms quality and smoothness. Starbucks can't even hold a candle to this place. On different occasions, I ordered the house Frappuccino and good lord in heaven... it's like I never had a blended coffee drink. It... was... AMAZING! The coffee was beyond smooth and was not overly sweet unlike Starbucks blended drinks which have way too much sugar. I also had the pay de queso con zarzamora (raspberry cheesecake) and good god, it was incredible. It was one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had tasted so homemade! I will end this by saying that if you're ever in Michoacán and want the best local, artisanal coffee, you MUST come to La Lucha. They have expanded to several locations, but nothing outside of Michoacán. Take a small bag or two home and you will experience the difference. Plus that smell of coffee will drive your olfactory receptors nuts and make you crave it even more! The best coffee in Mexico... period! My absolute highest recommendation! read more
