    This is a cozy little café, where you can get delicious coffee, and some snacks. I ordered a sandwich. The flavors were good, but I'm not a fan of olives. The service was good as well.

    Had a nice time grabbing breakfast here. The croissant was super crispy and the hot sauce it came with was great.

    Great food, great service, great ambiance. Had to wait a little bit for the food, but I guess because of the holiday it's expected. Small place but it's worth it.

    This is a neat hipster type of cafe right in the middle of downtown Oaxaca. I came here as I was walking around waiting for my bus to leave at 11pm. The cafe is original and designed very nicely with oak floors and tables. The bench seat was comfortable, and I needed it after walking around for hours. They had limited pastry options basically chocolate fudge brownies and banana cake. The panqué de plátano for sure had fewer calories, and I also ordered a large cappuccino to go with it. The prices here were pretty much in line with other places in Mexico City. The Server told me that they do have WiFi however I didn't see any outlets to plug in my laptop. Yes my battery has become shot. I think this is a great cafe for the traveler who doesn't plan on staying too long. The employee who helped me was awesome as well.

    Didn't take a picture of my green detox and baguette Serrano ham and mozzarella because I was in a rush but they both were delicious. I asked for a spicy sauce and they gave me a matcha peanut spicy sauce (so good). Loved the space and wished I had brought my laptop to work from there. The staff was super friendly!

    This was our first breakfast spot we visited and happy it was. Mar made our experience great! We ordered from breakfast sandwiches, coffees, juices, and yogurts/puddings - everything was delicious.

    Amazing rooftop for coffee and breakfast. Gorgeous views. Striking greenery. Delicious drinks. Friendly service. Super enjoyed my smoothie bowl and iced mocha. My friends delighted in their drinks as well.

    Nice spot for coffee and breakfast. I had the chia pudding which was beautiful and very filling, and a regular latte, and my bf had the pan Frances ( french toast) and Respiratirio tea (I messed that up), which was really good Anna reminiscent of a medicine ball to aid your cold/flu symptoms. Food was tasty and very healthy feeling and the latte and tea were just as expected. Service was good, some English is spoken if your Spanish is limited. The little shop is cute but the patio is beautiful. Unfortunately you don't get access to that unless you're a guest of the hotel, at least that was add our experience. Also, for every spot we went you have to ask for the check or pay at the counter. They don't bring the check to you.

    5 Star Deliciousness, it was the perfect stop to relax after flying all night & we stopped here on way before flying heading back home to Los Angeles. Very fresh , ambiance beyond expectations with great healthy choices. The orange boost and red boost very good. Just what we needed to keep our immune system strong while traveling.

    Ask for the rooftop café, it's amazing. Great service, and prices, good coffee. The huevos dishes are very tasty.

    My friend, who is an expert at finding cute coffee shops, found Cafe Muss. We came here twice on our trip. This little coffee shop has a beautiful rooftop oasis. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. I enjoyed the mocha on both trip and it feels like there's authentic chocolate. It offers a nice little punch. The fruit bowl is decent and the breakfast sandwich is good. I definitely recommend coming here to check out the roof top spot.

    What a gem

    What a find... Perfect coffee, ambience and in house baked goods along with mezcal's wines, liquors. The vibe here is pretty chill & relaxing. I discovered that they have a roof top area, maybe a concoction of different restaurants.. I don't know. The lushness the vibe the relaxation, it's the only deal spot to stop get your morning cuppa. The staff are efficient helpful and patient with us despite our poor Spanish.

    Our initial plan was to pop in to Muss Cafe to grab a quick to-go coffee, but "pop in", we did not. Once we discovered the hidden oasis upstairs, we were so enchanted that we couldn't leave without sitting down for a cup of coffee. It was such a darling place that we came back two days in a row. Positive notes: + Loved the ambiance and the lush greenery. The loveliest way to start the morning! + The staff is gracious, patient, and helpful + Food is fresh + Small boutique at the register with cute tchotchkes Areas for improvement: - Although the food is fresh, I wouldn't call it delicious. I had a fruit bowl with coconut yogurt on the first day that just didn't hit the spot. The breakfast sandwich I had in the 2nd day was a better choice. - Their coffee had great presentation, but it was not very strong. We found that we had to get multiple cups to satiate our caffeine needs. Bottom line is that this is a cute cafe to start off your day in the right direction. Come for the vibes, but be warned about the coffee!

    I journey from Los Angeles to Long Beach just for their matcha latte. Nobody does it better, and the staff at the counter are super cool.

    Great pastry - cardamom muffin, avocado toast was perfect and what they call smoothies which is more like an açaí bowl.

We were able to get a seat right away and the servers were super helpful. My friend wanted to try some mezcal and they let us taste a couple before choosing. We sat at the restaurant instead of the bar because it was cuter and I wanted food too. I tried two of their fruity mezcal drinks and loved both. I forget the names but one had watermelon, and the other had coconut and lime. I ordered cheese stuffed plantains with mole and this was soooo good. It was very filling too!

I thought it was funny when I got the menu and the food menu was only one page while the drink menu was five pages. The outside of the restaurant is blue-ish and the restaurant has multiple rooms. The ceviche del dia ($190 MXN) was a little sweet and not as tart or sour as others I've had. The tacos de sirloin ($170) were really good and were our group's favorite. The taquitos dorados de mole negro ($140) were okay; there was no meat just in case you were wondering. The aguachile rojo de camaron ($190) were good. The esquite con tuetano ($100) was not like a typical corn in a cup but it was closer to a corn soup. For drinks I had the pequeño gigante ($210) which was good. The paloma madura and paloma margarita were both favorites among our group. We went during the day and it wasn't that busy but supposedly it gets way busier and livelier at night.

Many of us were Mexican, others American but we were not about to be support such a place and be treated like that. Super super rude! The servers were nice and respectful though. So- again- don't come here. We weren't even loud but apparently the owner wants a library type of place- lame.
