It was only a matter of time I suppose. Jardines is on the verge of becoming a hub for good coffee…read moreshops and restaurants that offer new perspectives and great cuisine. The stage has been set, all that is missing are the actors to appear from behind the curtain. Among the newer places popping up is this opening act in a little hidden plaza along Hacienda el Jacal. Local Roots pays homage to its name, highlighting seasonal and organic Mexican ingredients that come together to portray a cuisine that is not Mexican in its composition but rather in its origin. The space itself feels like an import from the US or even Europe, but you would be surprised to learn that this concept actually comes by the way of South Africa. The shop has a chic-industrial look that lends itself to hours long conversations between friends or to leisurely sip coffee until it turns cold while reading a book. The coffee, food and pastries are complementing adornments to the place and make your stay much more enjoyable, but of course that is what you're really here for. Perfectly cooked eggs, deftly made coffee, and succulent pastries do not disappoint and leave a sense of satisfaction. Local Roots is a perfect example of what I believe is yet to come to one of Querétaro's quaintest neighborhoods. We have good things coming to Jardines, and I, for one, cannot wait.

The plants give the patio so much life. We all had pan dulce. Super good! I ordered a vanilla concha and it was filled with cajeta (like a milky caramel). I also had the house coffee and it was amazing! Coffee = 10/10 recommended. I also ordered a green juice and it was good. Tasted fresh and healthy. For brunch, I ordered Chilaquiles Rojos (red chilaquiles) with egg whites only. And oh my goodness. The flavor was delicious. They put sour cream and cheese. *chefs kiss* Not too soggy, and not too hard, they were JUST right. Our servers name was Elizabeth. And she was very quick, attentive and kind. She is a great server and she makes you feel so welcome. We also had the pleasure of being served by the captain of servers, Gerardo Perrusquia - the sweetest man ever! He was genuinely so nice to us and wanted us to have the best experience ever. Súper recomendado comer aquí! Todos muy atentos y muy lindos. Elizabeth y Gerardo, gracias por excelente servicio y una experiencia muy agradable! (-: Esperamos volver pronto!

On our final day of our short visit to Queretaro, we wanted a light and breakfast. We opened Yelp…read moreand found Cafe Breton, a cafe with French inspired cuisine. We started with mimosas which our waitress, Laura, told us we're 2 for the price of 1. YES, please! Laura came back with the pastry tray (pictured) and I chose the napoleon-style dessert. Then I ordered the "Petite Dejeuner" ("small breakfast"). My wife ordered the mushroom and spinach omelette. My petite breakfast was large - boiled egg (I requested hard boiled), jam, delicious crusty bread, emmentel cheese, Swiss cheese, a juice made fresh from carrots, rosemary, and other other goodies, ham, yogurt, muesli, honey, salad, house made salad dressing, fresh fruit, and more! The omelette was huge and had great flavor. It also came with some of the fresh juice and fresh fruit. SIDE NOTE: I watched as other plates were delivered to tables, and everything looked beautiful. We sat upstairs in the covered area, but there is also a downstairs area with seating if prefer to avoid the steps. Laura, was an outstanding waitress. She gave a good review of the menu, and made wonderful suggestions. She was very patient and helpful as I practiced my ordering in Spanish. I nearly forgot!! We took a slice of pear and almond tart to go. We plan to enjoy it during our bus ride to San Miguel de Allende. If you've not visited Cafe Breton, go get a table NOW! Thank me later with a juice or a cup of coffee!
