terrible place terrible food . gives "Habana" a bad name .. Depressing environment .. save yourself the extreme disappointment just avoid this place. I sincerely feel bad for the staff .. it's best to shut down this place , which incidentally is in a prime location , very close to el Parque Santa Lucia , and give a chance to a good restaurateur to do justice to the area if there were "zero star" i would have given it ..

Had lunch here while in Centro. We started out with fried plantains. We were expecting them to be more fried but they were still pretty good. Came with mayonnaise to dip which for us was unusual. I got the ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato. It was on a soft roll. Better than expected. My wife got the enchiladas suizas that she enjoyed. The service was good and reasonably priced. read more

**FLAN, COFFEE, AND FREE WIFI** We came here for the coffee, not the food. AMBIANCE ========= Nice and cool (they had A/C blasting on hot days). Old-school charm with locals. Somewhat dark and woodsy. Casual and friendly. FOOD ===== FLAN Very good and tasty. Not too sweet. RATING: 4/5 BEVERAGE ========= CAPPUCCINO It's not the Italian-style cafe, but solid. RATING: 3/5 Super friendly service, easy-going. RECOMMEND for a cup of coffee and dessert. read more

We stopped to have coffee and a quick bite. We enjoyed every bite and the coffee was great. We even tried a free shot of Chaya juice. The lady with cart stopped by and askked if we wanted sweet bread and we obliged. Was basically a concha with a sweet cream on the inside read more

Service is way, way too slow. You could be the only client and it will be 45 minutes before some one serve you. It would be best if they close shop and call it a day read more

The staff here is very nice and friendly. The food and coffee is just terrible. For real Yucatán food go to Manjar Blanco in Santa Ana, or better yet eat in the small towns outside of Mérida. I recommend any other cafe in the area. -Bad Coffee -Bad Food read more

This restaurant had the chance to receive a 5-star rating, but a lack of integrity was displayed at the end of the meal. The restaurant is located a little bit outside of central (centro) Merida, but the food was worth the evening stroll. It is located at the corner of a building, and it is well-maintained. The menu has some really good options to choose from. Everything went really well until the waiter brought us a handwritten receipt with the food we ordered and the prices of each item. Something did not look right at all, so we asked him why the prices were higher than what was stated on the menu. He acted like he did not understand, so we asked him to bring a menu. This waiter knew he had been caught, so he would not let us keep the handwritten receipt to use as proof of the dishonesty. When he brought the menu, we pointed out the items and the prices, and we asked to see his manager. The manager was nowhere to be seen and he brought us 3 waiters before the manager even made an appearance. Luckily the manager was kind and understood what was going on. He assured us that he would take disciplinary action and he corrected the prices on our check. This place would have received a 5-star rating if they had been honest and worked with integrity. The food was decent, but be careful and alert when paying for food, items, or services in Merida. read more

I was deeply disappointed with this place. It appears to be a good restaurant but to me it seems like an illusion or a show because the food I had did not match the ambiance of the restaurant. It was dry and most likely reheated. I wouldn't be surprised if it was food from the day before. Even something simple as tortillas specially here in Mexico this restaurant couldn't get right. What Mexican restaurant serves microwave tortillas!!! I also couldn't believe that when I asked for milk for my coffee they offer powder milk!! Don't waste your meney here. Please eat somewhere else. read more

Café La Habana - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mérida, YUC

We were out walking under the brutal midday sun and we only decided to give this place another try because they have a/c and it was miserably hot outside. Our table was tilting a bit and a team of waiters took about 10 minutes of fiddling with the leg adjustments when it would have been easier to simply ask us to move to the empty, adjoining table. We both had the torta Cubana which came with about 6 french fries. The tortas were pretty good and nicely sized - filled with chorizo, meat, egg, avocado and a bunch of other stuff. Could have been a 4 star experience if not for the table fiasco and skimping on the french fries read more

NOT FOR GRINGOS! We don't blame them but they don't serve gringos well. They will intentionally make something poor quality or messed up for you if you are gringo. My partner and I went in to meet two of our Mexican friends (or friends recommended the place). We got there early and ordered each an americano and a "moka especial". His tasted like instant coffee and wasn't hot, just warm. Mine was hot but the "mocha" tasted like a hot chocolate packet and came in a very strange cup (a glass beaker inside a wire cup holder w an akward handle)... When our Mexican friends arrived they ordered both "Moka Especials". Both theirs was in nice (easy to use) cups, and made properly. The waiter explaines in spanish that it was authentic chocolate with milk and a shot of espresso, with a cherry on top. And that he had given them the Moka Especial and me the "regular Mocha" ... (there was no regular mocha listed in the menu) ... I understood what he said in spanish so I laughed and shook my head... He then went on to say that if I wanted a different one instead they could make me the other one. I declined (unsure whether they would charge for another drink, and willing to receive what they choose to give gringos... afterall Cubans and others have endured much worse from the gringos in some places). I chose not to argue about this common racism in a country that is not mine. Just be prepared if you choose to go to this establishment... NO PARA GRINGOS! No los culpamos, pero no sirven bien a los gringos. Ellos intencionalmente harán algo de mala calidad o desordenados para usted si usted es gringo. Mi compañero y yo fuimos a conocer a dos de nuestros amigos mexicanos (o amigos recomendaron el lugar). Llegamos temprano y ordenamos a cada uno un americano y un "moka especial". Sabía a café instantáneo y no estaba caliente, solo estaba caliente. El mío estaba caliente, pero el "moca" sabía a chocolate caliente y llegó en una taza muy extraña (un vaso de vidrio dentro de un portavasos de alambre con una manija incómoda) ... Cuando nuestros amigos mexicanos llegaron, pidieron ambos "Moka Especialess" . Ambos estaban en bonitas tazas (fáciles de usar), y se hicieron correctamente. El camarero explica en español que era auténtico chocolate con leche y un trago de expreso, con una cereza encima. Y que él les había dado el Moka Especial y a mí el "Mocha normal" ... (no había un mocha normal en el menú) ... entendí lo que dijo en español, así que me reí y sacudí la cabeza ... Luego continuó diciendo que si quería una diferente, en lugar de eso, podrían hacerme la otra. Rechacé (no estaba seguro de si cobrarían por otra bebida y estaba dispuesto a recibir lo que decidieran dar a los gringos ... después de que todos los cubanos y otros han sufrido mucho peor de los gringos en algunos lugares). Elegí no discutir sobre este racismo común en un país que no es el mío. Solo prepárate si decides ir a este establecimiento ... read more

Reseña Café La Habana El día de hoy visité por segunda vez el Café La Habana , ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Merida, Yucatán En mi evaluación del servicio y la calidad de la comida le doy 4. estrellas a este lugar; en relación al pésimo estado del baño de hombres, le doy 0 (cero) estrellas ; esta sucio, apestoso, como cantina de quinta y con instalaciones y acondicionamiento de estos muy deficientes y baja calidad Por lo tanto, le concedo a este café solo 3 estrellas. Como que los propietarios no han invertido ni un cinco para tener los baños para clientes a un nivel de calidad de excelencia , requerido para un lugar visitado por tantos extranjeros, que visitan esta ciudad y este lugar. En verdad da pena que algunos dueños de negocios se quedaron acostumbrados a las condiciones de los baños publico de las gasolineras de Pemex del siglo pasado. De mi parte me abstendré de recomendar este lugar hasta que hagan algo con esos baños que dan pena ajena. ------------------------------ Today I visited Café La Habana for the second time, located in the center of the city of Mérida, Yucatán In my evaluation of the service and the quality of the food I give this place 4. stars; In relation to the terrible state of the men's bathroom, I give it 0 (zero) stars; It is dirty, stinky, like a fifth-class canteen and with very deficient and low-quality facilities and conditioning. Therefore, I give this cafe only 3 stars. As the owners have not invested a nickel to have the bathrooms for customers at a quality level of excellence, required for a place visited by so many foreigners who visit this city and this place. It's really sad that some business owners got used to the conditions of the public restrooms of the Pemex gas stations of the last century. For my part, I will refrain from recommending this place until they do something about those embarrassing bathrooms. read more

too bad I have to shoot this place down because I like the vibe, tried it a few times mainly because they roast their beans right beside the tables. Americano was horrible,cappuccino was ok but way too much milk to espresso ratio, as of today it will be my last visit, ordered a double espresso that came with no café crema as usual on an espresso,it tasted no more then strong drip coffee ,how they think that was an espresso is beyond me. been in Medira for a week tomorrow and not a decent coffee to be found. pointless paying for a double because they don't give you a double ,haven't seen one barista who knows what they are doing behind the counter. read more

Took my wife out to dinner here on our trip. The service beat all expectations. The food was amazing. The price was amazing as well. I would recommend this place to friends and family. read more

They have an excelent café. Try they social americano. Also breakfast number 7. I loved this café that has nothing Cuban, its very old but they have great waiters. I will come back! read more

This is the type of coffee shop people should stay away from. Service is ok but not ok when you order a coffee to go, mind you a plain American coffee and they charge you extra if you want to add the normal cream or milk to it. Completely unacceptable. Go somewhere else. The coffee wasn't even drinkable:( read more

The best arrachera ever. Second time was just as good as the first. Service was also good,very attentive.

We came for Burger Night. The server forgot about us, then when he came back and took our order, it was filled incorrectly. When I politely told him I had requested a burger without mayo (food safety issue, otherwise I would have just rolled with it), he took my burger, and, instead of giving me a new one (or at least a new bun), he WIPED some of the mayo off, leaving much of it, sending the bun desintigrating into pieces, and plopped it back on the plate. Not going back. And no, this couldn't be chalked up to a communication issue, as I speak fluent Spanish and have lived all over Latin America! read more
