The coffee is very good and they sell it whole bean or ground by the bag, which is a rare find in Oaxaca Centro. So far I've tried the iced cappuccino the café moka con chocolaté. During my stay in Oaxaca Centro Café La Antigua has become my go to coffee shop. The postres, the Mexican chocolaté brownie is delicious and moist! More importantly it's not overly sweet!I've also had the two meat ( pierna hogado and serrano ham) baguette with salad! Amazingly good. The waitress is, as always friendly and helpful.

The place is really charming ... I can't think of any other way to describe it. Between the sign out front, the old coffee grinder in the courtyard and really pleasant staff, this has to be one of the best coffee shops in downtown Oaxaca. And given the name (la Antigua), perhaps one of the oldest.

The coffee is really good: locally grown, very fresh tasting, and cheap. They machines are immaculate. The location is only steps from the Zocalo in the center of Oaxaca. The beans are organically grown. And the prices are very reasonable. But our barista didn't really seem to know how to make a latte. Or a cappuccino.

Spacious and modestly decorated. At the time we visited, we were the only customers for a good two hours. The staff are courteous and polite. The one thing I noticed is that the space, like much of downtown, is rather dusty... But seemed more pronounced than other cafes, maybe due to lack of upkeep. My dish and glass of water had a few flecks floating at the bottom... TISANA GUAYABA: Hmm... Just hardly a wink of guava essence is in this. Barely sweet, mostly water? Not sure if this can even count as tea... We tried the upper level, which had an outlook of the city's worn skyline; a brown and gray quilt of weathered tiles and graffiti. I can't say that it was the most beautiful view, but an interesting one nonetheless. NOTE: The bathroom smell can waft through the first floor for a while, even with the windows and door wide open :') Not very appetizing...
