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. Books are organized by topic and piled high on shelves. Writing for travel sections at newspapers, I enjoyed their more local guides to Mexico City.

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!

This market has practically everything that you could need. It's broken up into. Various sections…read moresuch as fruits and vegetables, meat and seafood, regular sundry items for the house, and of course the restaurant section. You won't find too many different clothing options here. The restaurant section probably has about twenty five small mom-and-pop restaurants, with each one specializing in different Mexican dishes. Walking past these small restaurants definitely gave me the urge to eat something. There are also a few candy vendors, which is where I found the mazapan treat, as well as, a couple of small coconut treats. They were delicious and jist what I needed. The market is about four blocks away from Alameda and metro Hidalgo.

Few to none are English speaking but it is easy to negotiate and purchase. We bought several objects and a piece of art. Some are true antiques, vintage, and collectibles. Some are replicas and housewares type items. Very good market and worth going to spend a Sunday morning couple to few hours.
