An Oasis on the outskirts of Central Oaxaca City. It's definitely worth the walk!…read more The Patio is a tropical haven from the heat. You have to try a few items on the menu and share plates. We ordered a few items and were completely satisfied with everything! The food tasted extremely fresh! Just look at the vibrant colors that cover the plates. The Toast Con Pina was a delicious way to finish breakfast, which was served with a side of fruit. I'm not going to describe the food here, because the pictures I was able to capture say it all. The color, the texture, the layers, the aroma...as they say, you eat with your eyes. You can sneak a peek at the ladies in the back making the bread from scratch in an open-space area that's hard to ignore. You are captivated by every inch of this place. The live music by a violinist, just "wow"!!! Oaxaca is represented well by this place!

Step off the sidewalk a few steps into a gated street to find this gorgeous courtyard restaurant…read more At 6pm, I had the place to myself. This hidden gem has a small but diverse menu of fresh and tasty dishes. It's mango season, so I jumped at the salad option. I could have had more jicama, but the salad is a nice change from the meat/tortilla/queso diet I've been on the last week and a half. Ceviche is a big deal in Oaxaca, and this is one of the best I've ever had. The coconut milk is an unexpected and refreshing twist that adds a depth of flavor to this delicious fish. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sauvignon blanc from Baja, California. This lovely Cafe offers breakfast, lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and breakfast only on Sunday and Monday. Check the Google Maps listing for hours, that seems to match what's posted at the restaurant. And if you're wondering what a Chepiche is, it's a Mexican herb apparently similar to cilantro often used to season meats. That explains the very herb/vegetable forward menu. Reminds me a lot of California farm-to-fork cuisine. Great Playlist of extremely romantic soft rock/folk music in Spanish. I've been Shazamming almost every song! This is not my cheapest meal in Oaxaca by far, but sometimes self care looks like a date night for one. Thanks, Chepiche Cafe. You were just what I needed and more tonight.

Pastries were ok but i am not fan of cold ones. Mocha and hot chocolate was good. Lactose free milk option avaible. Service was gpod.

It's really cute in their courtyard and they have much cleaner and nicer bathrooms than I've seen in most places in Oaxaca. I had a bagel yesterday for a mere 20 pesos and it was one of the best bagels I've ever had. And as a Jew from New York that's probably one of the highest compliments i can give. I also had a slice of chocolate cake which was excellent. A tad pricey at 75 pesos but worth every one. Wish they had more prepared foods outside of pizza and cold sandwiches as I'm sure they'd be excellent. Overall a fabulous place and I'll definitely be back.

The muffin was not bad and the pancake bread would be really nice with some milk or soemthing, it was quite dry. There was another cream filled pastry with some berries in there, that'd another good one. Place was packed so we couldn't eat there. But we went and sat outside a catholic church.

What a sight for sore eyes after a long day of traveling that began with a 7 am flight out of…read moreChicago! By the time I got into town, it may have only been 1pm but it felt like 7pm. I was hot, tired and hungry as hell. Hierba Dulce was such a lifesaver and a beautiful welcome to this amazing city. I visited three times while I was in town and the courtyard is simply glorious with a mural of the Virgin of Guadalupe looking over you. Service is patient and kind (our Spanish wasn't great and not every waitress speaks English). You won't believe the prices are for full meals and not tiny plates (Welcome to Oaxaca! New York, you are dead to me. Sort of.) so you may initially over-order like we all did. We ordered guac and nopales and tacos and the traditional mole but by the time the mole arrived (it's 6 bowls of the most incredible mole you've ever had, vegan or not), we had to force ourselves to eat more. (side note: we didn't have to really force ourselves at all). Standouts: -frozen drinks (the mango colada with or without alcohol!) -mango sorbet (sensing a theme here?) -potato tacos -guacamole The fact that we were compelled to return three days in a row should tell you all that you need to know.

I was interested in trying the blue matcha and I'm so glad I did! My family all got americanos and they said the coffee was very flavorful. We shared the vanilla and cacao concha's in the beginning. Both great. A few of us had the bowl of fruit and my mom had a yogurt bowl. Wow the fruit was so fresh and yummy. What I loved the most was that they bring you honey for you to be able to put as much as you like. I highly recommend coming here if you want a light yummy breakfast.
