Located in the courtyard of the Casa de las Artes, the beautiful outdoor seating and great food attract a nice crowd throughout the day, and the proprietor is visible and involved--making his dedication to delicious food and a great experience obvious. Cafes are VERY common in this area, and you will find that there is a 'typical' Mexican cafe menu: coffee drinks, juices, smoothies, sodas, breakfast, salads, and sandwiches. Cafe Haus isn't deviating from the classics, like the hipster-esque Besame Mucho and Mate Bistro, or staying tried and true, like Restaurant Plaza, but instead the menu has all the staples with a modern flair. Take elevated technique and attention to detail and you've got Cafe Haus. My favorite Mexican brunch-type-food is called a 'mollete', which is toasted bread smeared with beans and topped with cheese--it's very, very simple, so how is it you can really make them stand out amongst others? ask the owner because that dude's got the answer. Huevos Rancheros are everywhere. Everywhere. It's a fried egg with a savory tomato and onion sauce on top; but the sauce here was awesome--complex but balanced. The same could be said of the chilaquiles, which were not overly sour or acrid, as they can sometimes be; both those dishes were the best of their kind that I had. The sandwiches here were also my favorite, specifically the skirt steak sandwich. https://youtu.be/fqCrJc2b9kw Goddam that sandwich. The meat is flavorful, cured and cooked; I thought it would be tough, but it was tender and juicy, and it's paired with a nice, soft, rich, fatty bread. The best thing I ate (in a restaurant) during my vacation. The drinks were also very good, especially the sodas. The coffee drinks, while not bad, aren't great, but the truth is we went elsewhere for coffee before/after coming here. The flavored lattes and cappuccinos tasted really good, but I prefer unflavored, so I stuck to the sodas, specifically the Italian Melon, which was freaking awesome. But in general, here too, the ubiquitous soda flavors were better than other places. I think the best way I can sum up the general attitude towards foods here is by mentioning the orange juice. When a few of us ordered orange juice, the owner informed us that (because of the season) the oranges weren't very sweet anymore, so he was adding a natural sweetener "to balance the flavor". That's it right there. None of us (two of which are residents of this city) had ever heard of someone sweetening fresh juice, but his reasoning made sense to us and the juice ended up being great--it was even clear that the juice had benefited from it. With delicious, thoughtfully made food, great drinks, and a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere, it's definitely a place to check out if you're in the area.

    Located in the Plazoleta Miguel Hidalgo, this has definitely been one of my favorite…read morecafe/restaurants during my stay in Salamanca. Clean and comfortable, it's mostly a breakfast and brunch type place; and although they are open in the evenings, they do not have a dinner menu. Offering cafe staples--cappuccinos, espressos, lattes, etc.--which are all good, they also offer shakes and Italian sodas with unique flavors like lychee, which I have not seen in other place. With a large sign in front stating that they make food to order using fresh, high-quality ingredients, they also encourage you to let them know of your food preferences or any restrictions you might have--a very nice touch! I had a croissant sandwich that normally comes with meat, fresh veggies, and cheese, but I asked them to hold the meat....and they did! It may not sound like a big deal, but after a couple of errors at other places I'd like to give them credit for that. The croissant was definitely the best and most buttery that I've had here, and they added a nice tangy dressing that really rounded the whole thing out. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to try any of their cakes or pastries, but I did have the Fresas Marqués, which used fresh, sweet strawberries, that good, complex, Mexican chocolate, and whipped cream--simple but VERY delicious. The drinks were very good--especially the Cafe Americano, which was the best I've had here--standing out in a place where cafes seem to be all over the place. The interior and the ambiance it provides were also very nice, making it one of those places you just want to sit and enjoy your food and drinks over a long period of time. The biggest standout here, though, has been the service, which was the absolute best, friendliest, and professional I've had during my stay here, and I came several times. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this place!
