The coffee is very good and they sell it whole bean or ground by the bag, which is a rare find in Oaxaca Centro. So far I've tried the iced cappuccino the café moka con chocolaté. During my stay in Oaxaca Centro Café La Antigua has become my go to coffee shop. The postres, the Mexican chocolaté brownie is delicious and moist! More importantly it's not overly sweet!I've also had the two meat ( pierna hogado and serrano ham) baguette with salad! Amazingly good. The waitress is, as always friendly and helpful.

I've been to their other location to buy coffee, which by the way is organic and at an amazing price, and the taste is awesome, strong coffee with lots of flavour. Their desserts are really good too, they put a lot of love & care into deciding what desserts they want and work hard to achieve excellent quality. Customer service is not that great, the first time I was there they refused to give me the wifi password cause I ordered my coffee to go, this changed after I was there almost everyday sitting for at least 20 min.

Spacious and modestly decorated. At the time we visited, we were the only customers for a good two hours. The staff are courteous and polite. The one thing I noticed is that the space, like much of downtown, is rather dusty... But seemed more pronounced than other cafes, maybe due to lack of upkeep. My dish and glass of water had a few flecks floating at the bottom... TISANA GUAYABA: Hmm... Just hardly a wink of guava essence is in this. Barely sweet, mostly water? Not sure if this can even count as tea... We tried the upper level, which had an outlook of the city's worn skyline; a brown and gray quilt of weathered tiles and graffiti. I can't say that it was the most beautiful view, but an interesting one nonetheless. NOTE: The bathroom smell can waft through the first floor for a while, even with the windows and door wide open :') Not very appetizing...

The coffee is really good: locally grown, very fresh tasting, and cheap. They machines are immaculate. The location is only steps from the Zocalo in the center of Oaxaca. The beans are organically grown. And the prices are very reasonable. But our barista didn't really seem to know how to make a latte. Or a cappuccino. Still, even though they simply dump the espresso into the steamed milk (with a huge head of foam on top), the taste is still pretty good after a little mixing.
