Vine a este lugar a cenar con una amiga. La ensalada Amsterdam fue deliciosa y tenía queso de cabra, cacahuetes garapiñados y una vinagreta. De postre pedí un pastelito cubierto de mazapán de almendra que fue excelente. El servicio estuvo más o menos. Por ejemplo, a la hora de darnos el menú solo nos dieron el menú de comida pero no nos dieron el menú de las bebidas y tuvimos que preguntar por él. Asimismo, al final de la comida no nos ofrecieron los postres y nosotros tuvimos que decirle al mesero. Durante la comida nunca nadie se acercó a ver si necesitábamos alguna cosa. Fue algo difícil conseguir estacionamiento.

We did not stay and eat. This review is just about their *pan dulce*. They have AMAZING bread, it is always so fluffy and sweet. I have been eating the conchas here for so long, and they have always been one of the best. They also have a big breakfast/lunch menu but this is not ny favorite place to sit down and eat.

Really cute place. Nice seating outdoors and tasty food. Kind of expensive and possibly touristy but a good meal for many people! The food wa flavorful and fresh and got the job done.

I have to share the same 3 star review with the Other reviews of past. Door greeters were good hustlers at selling the menu and pulled us in. Best part of the meal, Waiters and Runners were VERY Polite & Professional. It was busy and little to no service. Espresso Coffee drinks (like said in other reviews) is Very Watered Down. We asked to remake on Two occasions. Food was very Normal. But the Costs was as equal to a Good Dinner in the same colonia. Can't say I'd return to share a meal with friends, maybe a Tea & Pastry for a quick work meeting or to quickly meet a stranger. Overall staff was polite and courteous and food not the fault of waiters. And the costs I was surprised to be as much, you are paying for the Pretty Space not fine food or good coffee .

Choose the huevos rancheros or divorciados... avoid the salmon omelet. It's edible, but only because it's flavorless.

The best thing about this place is the service and the orange juice. My salmon omelet was utterly uninspired, dry, burnt, unseasoned... and served with nothing but maybe three tablespoons of some eggplant onion stir-fry. The coffee was watery.

Beautiful cafe and excellent go to spot at any time a day! Their menu has a great variety and their coffee and pastries are delicious!

The best conchas in all Mexico City!

The best conchas in all Mexico City. And that's quite a statement given that the competition is fierce. Somehow they manage to make them crunchy on the outside yet chewy on the inside. The sugar coating is rich and buttery. The vanilla conchas are the favorite choice but the chocolate ones are also good. In spite of the quality of the conchas, I am always torn apart because the almond croissant is also superb. In contrast with the bakery, the food is not that great. It's good, but not great. The coffee, especially, could be higher quality to go along to the pastries. I do recommend the Lebanese scrambled eggs (with shanklish).

Lovely location, courteous service, way overpriced average meals. Not worth the price in my opinion.

Overall, liked my experience here. Came here with a friend on a weekend night and it was packed,…read morebut we didn't have to wait more than 5-10 minutes to get "seated". I say seated with parenthesis because most people end up standing here but we got lucky that a couple was leaving as we were right next to them after being asked our drink orders. It's kind of a weird system that they have and I think the staff didn't realize we didn't have our drink orders taken yet and asked the people behind us for theirs which was slightly annoying. It was a bit chaotic so I can see why it happened, but I do think they need a slightly better system. Anyways, the drinks were excellent and I love that they gave us a little small snack that included crickets (which I hadn't tried before yet). The vibes in here are really nice too. I love the dim lighting and the almost rock/clay atmosphere. The bathroom area is smaller than I was expecting but it was ok. I'd definitely return!

This ranks among the top ten bars in North America and as a group of 6, we probably waited for 25…read moreminutes to get in. There are no seats, this is a standing bar except a few uncomfortable bar stools. Drinks were good, but I expected more. I got the colada and it was good, not too sweet. Almost clarified colada. Everything was very spirit forward which few of our friends really liked. This felt like a one time visit for me in CDMX

Cool environment and had a majority of locals hanging around here. The drinks were more of the…read moreaperitif variety so while we didn't get food when we were here, I'd recommend picking something from the menu. Our waiter did seem a little surprised we didn't so maybe we ought to have . Second in my line of bars where I felt like the emphasis was less on a heavy hand but more on the light delicate notes that encourage you to sit and talk around a bit more with the homies.

Mezcal focused cocktail bar. Lighting is fairly dim but warm, lit mostly by candles except for the…read moreoutside seating which is exposed to the streetlights and traffic. Honestly the openness is welcome on this cool autumn day although the sounds of cars and people was sometimes a touch distracting. Music was fun but not particularly heavy, maybe more of a casual date than something velvety. Service was quite attentive and prompt although I did arrive quite early and there weren't very many people there. Not all the waitstaff are very fluent in English but they are happy to bring someone who is if you have questions. They are the sister bar/restaurant to La Clandestina which is literally right next door which also focusses on Mezcal. Honestly, I don't really know what the difference is between the two aside from the people who are literally mixing the drinks and serving you as the house mezcals are also under the La Clandestina name. Ordered their Habanero house cocktail which was a mix of their Espadin Joven Mezcal, orange liqueur, and a raspberry/bluebery/habanero syrup garnished with a dehydrated orange slice and rimmed with salt, chili, and maybe some more habanero. Note, the menu doesn't actually mention the syrup, I dragged that out of them since I was wondering why the cocktail was so pink and also tasted like it definitely had more than mezcal and orange liqueur in it. The end cocktail is a light and fruity affair but not particularly sweet or acidic and actually balanced out with the body and smoke of the mezcal. I normally despise salt rims, finding it overpowering on first sip and nonexistent on the next but theirs toned down the salt levels enough that each sip around the rim was actually quite pleasant. The habanero in the syrup maybe offers a smidge of vegetal notes and a little bit of spice if you're particularly sensitive to it but the rim itself was actually a delight, giving a light tingle to the lips with each sip. I wouldn't say the cocktail was particularly spicy but more tingly which I found myself actually preferring over other chili included cocktails I've had in the past. They do offer a variety of bottles of tequila and mezcal to sell and take home with you, notably the ones under the Clandestina name that are made just for the bar. Not all of these tequilas and mezcals are available to try directly but the bartenders will offer you a shot of the closest one that is available on the menu (mind you, trying a shot is just paying for an ounce/35 ml of the stuff but that's all on the menu). I decided to give that a shot before biting the bullet on a whole bottle of mezcal. The shot of mezcal comes in a glass wider than a traditional shot glass so you can actually sip the thing comfortably and they also give you a few orange slices with tajin to chase/nibble on. Apparently they offer a flight of mezcal which I'd honestly recommend, especially if you're here with some friends. Definitely recommend coming by for well executed cocktails but particularly for the chance to try Mezcal of varying regional origin, age, and abv.
