Boulenc is a breakfast and cafe spot in the city center of Oaxaca. It's popular among tourists but…read morealso among locals as well. We went a little before open and there was already a small line forming. We ordered the ham and cheese croissant ($145 MXN) and the shakshuka ($135). The croissant was soft and I liked the cheesiness and creaminess. The shakshuka had a bit of spice and I liked dipping the bread into the sauce. The eggs were a little hard though and not runny at all. Both of these dishes were delicious and I still think about the shakshuka even today. For drinks we had the flat white ($58) and iced latte ($63) which were also good. We usually don't go to the same place more than once during our travels but this place was just so good we had to. This was my favorite brunch spot and I can see why it's such a popular spot.

Phenomenal. Canceled restaurant plans the next day so we could come back.

One thing the city of Oaxaca has in spades is utterly fantastic bakeries. World classic bakeries…read morethat would compete with Paris, Vienna and Manhattan. This is not one of those bakeries. That said, if I needed a birthday cake, I might come here. Also, if you're in the neighborhood and need a little lift-me-up, this place is just the ticket. Exclusively in Oaxaca with15 branches and more than 40 years in the business, this place is a staple for your sweet tooth. This particular branch has two little tables and a banquette. You can charge your laptop while you sit and munch. Mostly, this is a takeout shop. Fruit tarts, cheesecake, flan, meringues, colorful and fruity gelatins, ice cream, and lots of traditional butter cookies. You can serve yourself coffee for a little more than a dollar from a cute little machine and it's decent. Michael Jackson and disco music are playing in the background. Service is friendly, helpful and very pleasant.
