When we walked up on a Monday, a sign told us to yell "books." Within a minute, someone unlocked the gate and led us to a cramped room that feels like your grandma's attic.

This place is no ordinary bookstore. I would consider it an actual destination with every book…read moreimaginable about everything especially the culture of México. It's not Amazon warehouse big but it's definitely very spacious with two levels. The way that they have glass floors on the second level almost reminds me of the huge library located near Buenavista. There is also a café that offers customers WiFi with purchase. There are also plenty of tables, chairs, and comfortable sofas for customers to sit and read. I found a book that was interesting alled El Cerebro Del Futuro and I'm going to give it a try. Spanish is not native to me and I hope that this book will help me with my Spanish learning journey. This is a great bookstore for anyone to check out

Oh my! I could go on about the amazing experience we had at this café! It not only exceeded my…read moreexpectation, but it was such a dreamy experience! First off, The ambiance at this particular location was a 10/10! They do have multiple locations , we chose this one in particular because we were planning on exploring the Polanco area! Walking in you can see their covered patio that is connected to their bookstore! You do havee the option to sit inside or outside! We opted for inside seating, and were offered in my personal opinion, one of the best tables in the entire cafe! It was on the second floor overlooking the library! Now the food! It is a café, so they have a diverse menu of drinks! I ordered a carajillo, and it was great, definitely a more simple take on it. My boyfriend ordered a Americano, and he loved it! For food we started off with some guac and chips! OMG I absolutely loved their chips! You can tell they make them in house! For my entree I ordered the tilapia and my bf the mole and both were not only a 10/10, but the presentation was chefs kiss! I def recommend! Overall, the service, ambiance, and experience was phenomenal! I would def return on my next trip to CDMX!

I got charged EIGHT DOLLARS for a single postcard (which was probably free to them, because it's an ad).

I didn't even notice until I got home and checked my receipt. Seriously, avoid this place unless you want to get fleeced. They're basically thieves.
