    Juan G.

    French Toast
    Alonso P.

    Such a beautiful and peaceful cafe/restaurant. I had the French toast and I will definitely order again. My server was so sweet and engaging. She seemed very proud to work there, I wish I could remember her name but my memory tricks me. Excelente servicio, comida y lugar?

    Delicious chili oil
    Age V.

    We really enjoyed our brunch here! We came on a Sunday around 11:30 and had to wait about 10 minutes. The outdoor patio area is so relaxing and our coffee and food were delicious. I had an Americano to drink and the cibiles to eat. We also tried the chilaquiles verde, which was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. They had two different musician street performers set up and play short sets, which was kind of cool. Our waiter was attentive and very friendly as well. Definitely a nice place for breakfast or lunch.

    Courtyard for outdoor seating

    This little green cove is a fantastic spot to start your day with some breakfast classics with a Spanish/euro twist. The service is excellent very attentive and meets all your requirements for a great day. The atmosphere is relaxed and refreshing along with fresh ingredients that will make you feel satisfied and energized.

    We came here THREE times during our trip because it was right next to our Airbnb. The food was so good! I got the chilaquiles almost every time, and the horchata cold brew and chocolate are also delicious. My friend ordered the oatmeal and the açaí smoothie a few times and said it was equally delicious. The outdoor ambience here is also beautiful. Highly recommend!

    Torta de pícaña

    The place is very cute! The outdoor seating was inviting, prices and food are average but the environment was worth, the waitress and staff pretty nice and attentive El lugar es muy bonito muy pal postureo, el patio muy incitante a quedarte los precios de la comida y el sabor están masomenos pero con el ambiente alrededor todo sabe mejor meseros y staff muy atentos y amables

    Coffee and breakfast

    Cute location, sat outside and it felt like being in a secret garden. The food and coffee were scrumptious and very filling. The staff was sweet and let me practice my Spanish!

    Barked oatmeal, green juice and coffee.
    Salvador P.

    I read some of the reviews about the service and we did not experience that all all, the service was great! We had green juice, the baked oatmeal and coffee and it was by far one of the best breakfast yet!. If you want a nice, quiet breakfast this is the place!

    huevos cibeles (underneath that top layer is a slice of ham, underneath also is an egg)
    Neil C.

    Coffee and food were good+; I ordered a hot americano -- tasted just as strong as American drip coffee; 'huevos cibeles' -- cast-iron baked egg, ham, and (I believe) corned beef. Tasted delicious; I felt like I was enjoying Mexican cuisine. Also ordered matcha bowl (of yogurt); gently sweet, and the strawberries and green apples made it extra delicious. Wife ordered 'huevos arabes' -- cast-iron baked egg dish, which had a good amount of sour cream; again, felt like I was enjoying Mexican cuisine. Fall weather, 9am local time -- great weather to enjoy the outdoors. Staff was friendly, and also patient with us being not so adept with the Spanish language. Lots of plants and greenery in our sights. I enjoyed the food, the staff, and the food. I'd want to go again :-)

    Pan dulce
    Idalis S.

    Lovely place to grab brunch on the weekends. We stopped by around 10am on a Sunday and we're pleasantly surprised to be seated right away - this place gets busy very quickly. We ordered Chilaquiles Verdes with chicken and the huevos rancheros. Both dishes were very flavorful and the perfect portions. While we waited for our food, our server also came over with a basket of pan dulce. They were the perfect appetizer to our brunch.

    This is one of the best places to grab breakfast in Mexico City. Had the matcha waffle; one of the best dishes I've had in all of Mexico City. The coffee drinks are good there as well, which I had trouble finding in the city.

    Darla H.

    Loved this place! Cute lil spot with lattes, matcha lattes, bomb breakfast food, and outdoor seating. They do have wifi and bathrooms with hand sanitizer (a plus bc even after washing your hands you still need to sanitize them bc the water in Mexico will leave you with the shits). The staff here is young and hip and super friendly.

    Lardo - Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms

    Maybe Lardo is better for breakfast, but we didn't feel it was fully worth the hype for lunch. We'd…read moremade a reservation in advance for Saturday at 2PM. The interior was brightly lit with a large beautiful bar, and had the vibe of a French cafe. We were brought out some complimentary (pita-like) bread, which was nice, but would have been better with something like olive oil to dip it in. My friend and I ordered 3 items to share - the Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Eggplant Parmesan, and Barbacoa. Portions were on the smaller side, but this was the perfect food quantity for us. The Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms were fine but a little bland. I liked the Eggplant Parmesan and Barbacoa, but neither really blew my mind. For everything I'd heard about Lardo, I felt like our experience was good but not amazing. Would check it out for breakfast to compare!

    This was, unfortunately, my worst meal in CDMX, and because it was also my most anticipated, that…read moremade it extra disappointing. We arrived a little early for our Monday night reservation and had to wait outside since they were busy. The ambiance inside is intimate- definitely a date-night vibe with tables very close together. We ordered the pizza, stuffed squash blossoms, kebab taco, and truffle gnocchi. The stuffed squash blossoms ended up being the most flavorful dish of the night- and that's not saying much, because most of the flavor came from the tomato sauce. The pizza was good, but nothing special. It was satisfying in a "carbs will save me" kind of way. We ordered the kebab taco cooked medium, but mine came out medium rare. If this were a steak, I wouldn't have minded, but ground beef at that temperature carries a food safety risk. After reading multiple reviews about people getting sick here, I wasn't comfortable taking that chance. I asked for it to be recooked, and the waitress was kind and brought out a fresh plate. It was decent, but again, nothing special. The truffle gnocchi was where things really went downhill. When it hit the table, it smelled like mildew. I know truffle can be strong and earthy, but this didn't seem right. I forced myself to take one bite so I wasn't judging off smell alone, but it tasted exactly how it smelled. My friend and I didn't even eat 1/8 of the dish, and it was the most expensive item we ordered. Low key felt like our waitress should've asked why we didn't eat the dish nor ask for it to be boxed but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The dessert, however, was the best thing I had all night. Truly divine. Now I can't tell if it was actually top-tier or if I was just so hungry and desperate for something good that it felt that way in the moment- but either way, it was the one bright spot. Overall, it just didn't live up to the hype which made it sting even more.

The pastries and service were delicious. While they do not have indoor seating, it was very pleasant to sit outside on the sidewalk and people-watch. We tried three different pastries: a plantain pudding pastry, a fruity meringue pastry, and a very unique peanut butter and chapulines cruffin. All were excellent. My only piece of constructive feedback is regarding the payment process. We had to pay for the pastries separately from the coffee, which made the experience less smooth. It would be much more convenient if everything could be paid for on a single check. Overall, it was a wonderful spot!

The service was attentive and friendly--occasionally a little slow, but that's part of the relaxed rhythm of being in Mexico. The outdoor seating is charming, surrounded by greenery and decorated with natural plants, which creates such a pleasant atmosphere to start the day. I especially enjoyed the Betty juice made with beets--it was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. The pastry selection feels endless, unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere in Mexico. During our visit, they were offering pan de muerto for Día de los Muertos, with a creative twist: a rich chocolate filling. It was outstanding! Overall, my friends and I had a wonderful experience here--delicious food, a beautiful setting, and a bakery that truly makes you want to come back again and again.
