    Even before Jamie W and I arrived, I knew a trip to San Miguel de Allende would not be complete…read morewithout a visit to this classic churro cafe. It was the place that chef Pati Jinich proclaimed as the best churro purveyor in town on her PBS TV series. Located just a block east of the city's social hub, Jardín Allende, the cafe was quite chaotic on early Saturday evening. No surprise there was a lengthy queue. While it was moving quickly, the menu was nowhere to be seen. By the time we got to the counter, I just improvised our order on the spot. We went with a couple of the MX$120 French Chocolate sets which afforded us both a Hot Chocolate and a Cajeta-Flled Churro. We added two MX$11 Plain Churros just because we wanted to try their signature item. The advantage lies in the freshness. The churros come right out of the fryer and into the bowl dusted with sugar and cinnamon. The contrast between the crispy, sweet exterior and the soft dough is what makes the churro stand out. The cajeta added sweet indulgence, but truth be told, the plain version was decadent enough on its own (Photo 9). This was especially true when we dipped the churros into the rich, piping hot chocolate (Photo 8). Luckily, we were able to snag a cafe table that became available. It was only when we sat down that we noticed the full extent of their menu which includes empanadas, enchiladas, and Mexican breakfast plates. We also saw all the framed posters and magazine covers on the walls and realized they all featured the owner, famous soap opera actress Margarita Gralia, Mexico's answer to Susan Lucci. FOOD / DRINK - 5 stars...like really fresh donuts but the hot chocolate is the most essential ingredient AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...chaos but evocative SERVICE - 4 stars...fast and cordial amid the chaos TOTAL - 4 stars...trying the churros is a must...just takes effort to get them RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

    Looking for a regular coffee hangout in San Miguel de Allende, Jamie W and I didn't need to look…read moreany further. Conveniently located on the cobblestoned artery between our hotel and Zona Centro's social hub, Jardin Allende, this three-floor cafe was compact but surprisingly relaxing given the constrained layout of the seating. The cafe's name translates appropriately to "good aromas" since the roasted beans wafted throughout the space. On our first visit, we arrived in the middle of the afternoon and treated ourselves to the MX$85 Affogato, a nice combo of vanilla gelato and an espresso shot (Photo 10). We came back the following morning when the place was literally percolating with customers. This time we shared a table on the rooftop. What I appreciated was how the owner had no compunction about telling laptoppers not to monopolize tables clearly set up for multiple people. This time we had true beverages with their own twists. I had the MX$60 Cococcino, a cappuccino with a touch of coconut oil, and Jamie went for the MX$70 Iced Buzz Latte with honey and a double espresso shot (Photo 9). Both perfectly satisfied because beyond the quality of the beans, we saw the exacting process they followed in their execution. It was a smooth brew in a chill space that was obviously attracting a lot of expats. I wish we had more time for a third visit. COFFEE - 5 stars...high quality, locally sourced, disciplined execution AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...casual and relaxing in a rustic space SERVICE - 5 stars...very thoughtful approach here TOTAL - 5 stars...a go-to coffee house, for sure RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

I had El Rancho, which was a quinoa bowl with roasted veggies, sauce and eggs. Everything was absolutely delicious, coffee and tea were great.

We sat on the rooftop patio which had a nice relaxing vibe.

Going with the pineapple pastry, we thought the flavors were very good: perfect amount of sweetness and a fresh tasty pineapple filling. However, the dough seemed a little undercooked and there wasn't enough filling for the amount of dough. Otherwise, the experience of picking your dessert is so fun and this spot is a great example of a panaderia with homemade baked goods! The service is helpful and quick so I would recommend stopping by to see what catches your eye!

After much debate, I decided to go with the pan dulce to share with my sister as a dessert after our meal, and I'm so glad I did. Not only was the pan dulce absolutely delicious, but the kindness of the owners made the experience even more special. It was only 13 pesos, but we only had a 500-peso bill, so they generously gave it to us for free. We felt bad, so we gave them $1 USD as a small thank-you, but their generosity truly stood out. Pan Dulce itself - It was perfect--the custard filling wasn't overly sweet and had a slightly gelatinous texture that I really enjoyed. The outside was super crispy, and the sugar coating added just the right amount of sweetness. It was the perfect treat to end our lunch! Between the amazing pastries and the wonderful hospitality, I would absolutely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and delicious pan dulce.
