Loved this spot! I tried the regular cold brew and the cold brew with mezcal, and both were really good. The regular cold brew was smooth and refreshing, and the mezcal version was such a fun twist without being overpowering. The vibe was relaxed, the service was friendly, and it's a great place to cool off while exploring Oaxaca. Definitely worth stopping by if you're a coffee lover! read more

Cafe Brujula is in central Oaxaca. It's a popular coffee shop with many selections. I ordered a pastry and latte, and both were pretty good! Not the best, but not bad. The decor was pretty and service was prompt. read more

Delicious coffee and near of the center. They have dessert too. The place is quite and nice

The locals call this place the "Oxacan Starbucks" and for good reason. They are everywhere in the city. The prices are decent and the quality of their drinks is amazing. I had their "congelacraneos", the lime and cucumber as well as the strawberry one and they are made with fresh ingredients. Their iced lattes are strong and great quality. They offer wifi, wall outlets and plenty of seating. Perfect location for people watching. A good option for working from your computet although they are usually pretty busy. The staff is attentive and friendly and always ready to answer any questions read more

Great service, delicious coffee, breakfast items, and snacks. Beautiful atmosphere at the location with the courtyard.

I don't love the coffee here. It tasted very watered down. Yes, I ordered an Americano and yes, Oaxacan coffee tends to be on the lighter side, but this had no kick to it whatsoever. I sense this place is a bit of a tourist trap. Its location in the historic center (zocalo) of downtown Oaxaca makes it impossible to miss. The atmosphere is pretty cool, but if you're looking for a quiet cafe to unwind or maybe read a book, this should not be your number one choice. Aside from the not-so-good coffee, they do sell local chocolate by the piece, which is quite tasty. read more

This place had good coffee, good juice, some vegetarian food options (granola/yogurt/fruit or veggie sandwich) and muffins: banana, apple and corn! They let ppl cut in line though so that was not cool read more

Good coffee with lots of non dairy milk options. Great americano with soy milk. They are fast and reasonably priced as well.

Best Americana in town! Maybe even best coffee we had while traveling through Oaxaca. Love the seating area too! Great and friendly service- even to English speakers :) read more

Great service. Wonderful latte! This is the kind of place I'd return day after day for my cup of coffee. read more

My choice coffee shop in Oaxaca. It is the best place to get an Americano and read or write for a lazy morning/afternoon activity. It's also close to the center of everything so when you leave, you are automatically transported into the hubbub of Oaxaca life. I find that this cafe's music and atmosphere is super chill. I'd say Café Brújula is the perfect stop for coffee shop travel junkies like me. read more

Great service! They were very accommodating when it came to modifications that I requested for my coffee (i.e. half sweet, oat milk, decaf) and they were friendly. The gluten-free corn and banana muffins are delicious. read more

Such a cool little coffee shop, right across the street from the templo Santo Domingo. Their coffees are fresh brewed and delicious, served with a friendly smile. It's a must stop and taste in Oaxaca. read more

This is a popular cafe near a popular church. The menu is small but has the main stuff. There's also some food choices, such as muffins and pastries. I got an americano and a blueberry muffin. The coffee was fine, freshly made. The muffin was also fresh, it's not made in house but from somewhere else, but tasted good in the early morning. There's lots of seating inside with a good view of the plaza. read more

Great coffee and really friendly staff. Helpful and patient with our bad Spanish. Quiet courtyard and free wifi.

I had my coffee here every morning of my stay. They made my latte exactly how I asked, excellent pastries baked fresh each day, GF options, great coffee to buy by the bag and very nice staff! read more

This Brujula is located on the corner of Ignacio Allende & Macedonio Alcalá, just on the other side of this lovely pedestrian street, steps away from the famous Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman. We stopped in one afternoon here for a cappuccino & a cafe frappe. It's a very popular spot & they also serve food. We enjoyed both our drinks & the atmosphere here very much. It's a festive spot & the staff is very friendly. Would definitely return here & recommend it to anyone. No cocktails here though. So, if you're only interested in a drink stronger than caffeine, you might want to stay away. read more

Amazing coffee please be mindful of them when they are working in hard times. Love the chocolate with cafe!

This trendy coffee bar is a great place to have a small meeting or a social gathering with friends. Because of the location, space and tranquility, this Brujula (there are four in Oaxaca) is my favourite one. The coffee is organic coffee from several places in the state of Oaxaca and has a great taste. The fresh smoothies and crushed ice drinks are really refreshing. I do recommend to ask for less sugar, as they love putting loads of sugar in everything in Mexico. They also have delicious cakes; chocolate, carrot and lemon cheese cake and cookies. The courtyard is a big and has a lot of tables and chairs. The service is excellent and the employees are really friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi is perfect for people who want to work/Skype or write a review in Yelp!;) You also get a stamp card and with 10 stamps (one per visit) you get a free drink!;) You can collect stamps from the different Brujula coffee shops and also hand in your full card at any of the shops. read more

This is like a Oaxacan Starbucks, they have tasty drinks and a delicious blueberry muffin. The prices are closer to Starbucks in America, but there's plenty of seating and the place is next to a beautiful church. Worth checking out once at least. Also, I had a "cajeta" latte which is like Mexican caramel, if you like sweet it's for you. read more

We went back here again and again while in the city . Mango smoothies and the different coffee drinks were the bomb! I wish they had tshirts with their logo on them! read more

If you love a REAL black coffee here's your spot!!! and taste the bread too... HEAVEN!

The iced latte was delicious! It was the perfect way to cool down and caffeine up before continuing my day adventures in Oaxaca.

Cafe Brujula was greatly recommended by a friend. It was our first meal in Oaxaca and expectations were high. I ordered the Pavo sandwich and Oaxacan chocolate while my friend ordered the roast beef sandwich with a latte. Both were amazing. Definitely taking notes on the 2:1 cheese to Turkey ratio.I loved the courtyard, the music (Otis Redding, Al Green) and the people watching. Very relaxing dining experience. read more

Great service and great coffee! Actually, great chocolate oaxqueno caliente. The grande was only 51 pesos and was equal to two cups - ready in minutes. Highly recommend it. read more

Very cute coffee shop and delicious iced latte. Small quaint, staff was friendly. Scenery outside is gorgeous, especially when the sun has just set, and the church lights up. Perfect view for a delicious cup of coffee read more

Had the triple americano. Not strong enough for me. For strong-coffee lovers, you might wanna try a triple but in a double cup. Service was nice and they have a wonderful courtyard. read more

I love Cafe Brujula - I loved it before it became a small chain here in Oaxaca. Try their vegetarian sandwich! It's super good. The drinks can be a little over priced, which makes it a pain for locals to afford, but for the foreigners, it's comfortable and costs less than starbucks. read more

I'm from out of town, and I thought with 4 1/2 star rating this place would be great. I was wrong. The cafe lacks complexity (bland) and the Chai was too sweet--I sent back the first chai and asked for another (I paid for both). My wife's coffee was lack luster. The young man at the front counter was not nice (example: when I said "gracias" after the 1st sale he said nothing. When he brought me my drink I said "gracias" again and he just scowled at me). I'm Mexican American, my Spanish is good & O don't look American; so I don't think his sour mood had anything to do with me. If your going to serve others at least reciprocate good manners. read more

Café brújula is an amazing experience, the coffee is nice and no where as cliché as starbucks. There are tables inside the locale where you can enjoy what you've bought whether it was coffee or pastries, as well as a good book you selected from the enormous library within. Overall a great place to spend time in Oaxaca. read more
