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.

I haven't found much ice cream in Mexico that isn't filled with preservatives. Their ice cream is all natural and is made unusually with nitrogen. I had once seen this on Shark Tank and thought it was fascinating. It is really good ice cream and fun to watch. Francisco and Gerardo were really super nice. Worth a visit!

Did I mention it was really really good? It's certainly the best ice cream in Oaxaca. We're going back tomorrow!

I really have to recommend coming here, not just for the food, but also for the experience of meeting the Chef Gabriel & Rocio.
