From Chicago, first time at SOCO today. Here are some thoughts:…read more -We came in on a Sunday mid morning for brunch. There was a steady stream of internationals for the hour we were there, must be located near a larger hotel. -We ordered a chocolate croissant for an appetizer. It was good. -I ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa and chicken. I really enjoyed the chicken, but overall not great. -My wife ordered eggs and toast, not great. And they charged us extra for butter and jelly. -She had an Americano, I ordered a latte. Both were good. They forgot to bring hers out. With all the great cafes in Merida, I cannot recommend SOCO : (

A number of their bakery goods are displayed, you pick your basket and select whatever you want. We got a plain croissant, a chocolate + nut bread and another one. The waiter warmed it up, and they were sooo good. And you know they are fresh! We ordered a Cappuccino and latte as well and both are good.

Panaderia's are a thing in Mexico some regions better than others. The lady who works here had a…read morebad attitude and acted like we were bothering her. We only had 2 items one sugared donut with pastry cream and a concha. This is not a traditional help yourself Mexican Panadería. The shop is corner shop small adjacent to the church. The one drawback was bees they seem to be all over Mérida and even in the case with the baked goods. The two things we tried were fresh but the service killed the vibe. 80 pesos for two treats that's pretty expensive for a Mexican bakery .

Grab a huge metal platter and a pair of tongs and choose to your hearts content. I can't remember what it's called but there is a star shaped loaf that is very dense and covered in sugar that is like a sweet cornmeal bread which is awesome. Very crumbly and messy, but oh so tasty.

Got back to the hotel and realized this was the best muffin I ever had in my like. When I went back the next day, I timed it wrong. The after work crowd was there and it was PACKED!! Looking forward to going back next time I'm in Merida. Process: You pick up a pan and use tongs to pick out your items. Take your items to counter one, where they give you a list of your items to take to counter two. At counter two, you pay for the items while counter one bags up your order. Once you pay, you go back and grab your items.

From Chicago, first time at P&D today for coffee and pastries. Here are some thoughts:…read more -It is located less than a block from Santiago Park. -It is my favorite coffee shop so far in Merida (1 month in). -I ordered a vanilla latte and a pastry, both were excellent! -The service was very good. -Has the feeling of being a quiet spot in a busy part of town. -Oh, and they have high chairs, if you're thinking of bringing a little one with you... Highly recommended!!

Just had a full-blown pastry awakening at Placer y Delirio!…read moreThe name doesn't lie--pure pleasure with a side of delirium. Every bite had me questioning my life choices (like why I haven't been here sooner). The pastries? Outrageously delicious. The vibe? Cool enough to make your iced coffee jealous.

Found this place thanks to Yelp…read more It's a hidden gem. It's very artsy once you go inside. There's a few tables so I would advise going in the morning so you don't have to wait. Everything was delicious. The french toast was very smooth, easy to cut and tear apart. The topping was really good and complimented the french toast. It was sweet but not overly sweet. The cappuccino was also good but I added sugar as I like my coffee to be sweet. I also had an espresso that was strong so if you like your caffeine I'd definitely recommend it. I'll definitely go back once I'm in Merida again.
