As a typical LA tourist, I didn't pay much attention to opening times and ended up walking right…read moreinto this coffee shop before it opened. The owner kindly let me know they weren't open yet, and noticing my struggling Spanish, switched to English with a smile. He was incredibly friendly -- he invited me to sit down, offered me some water, and even brewed an espresso free of charge. He also shared great recommendations for local restaurants and even a nearby winery that I can't wait to visit. Today's my first day in Querétaro, and I already know I'll be coming back. It's amazing how a simple act of kindness can make your entire experience unforgettable.

One can still make great discoveries as Queretaro's coffee game continues to grow. This coffee shop…read moreand bike hangout in downtown Querétaro is one of these little gems. Seldom can places manage to be cool and have an awesome product and have both of these intermingle harmoniously, which is exactly what puts them on top of the game. A few rules describing the coffee shop are written next to the entrance of the shop, such as the coffee menu situation and the four-legged owner who roams around the bar, greeting visitors with its furry paws. Though the place is small, the candid approach by the baristas make you feel right at home, cozy and tight. The coffee is roasted in house in very small batches, following a medium roast profile, a very welcome sight in the coffee scene. Espresso is pulled with expertise, allowing the acidity and sweetness to shine through. Manuel and pour over methods are also offered with their own special twist. While the coffee is reason enough to come here, and the pastries and food add to the experience, in Apapacho it's all about the community. With their own herb garden, their tip system that goes to fund their bike program, and their communal skateboard, this shop truly intends to serve their community while making great coffee. This place does its name justice, as you are pampered by both the people and the coffee.

It just wasn't the ideal dining experience.

This is the cutest spot to have coffee and breakfast. It looks so tiny from the outside but as we…read morewere being seated we just kept walking up, and up and up until we reached the rooftop level. It was a small terrace with around 6ish tables, some cute decor and tons of plants. It was packed when we arrived but it only took about 15 minutes for our group of 4 to be seated. We each ordered a different beverage and they were all so cute. I have to say the chai latte that my sister ordered was the best I've ever had. My mocha was super delicious but I was feeling a little jealous of her drink order lol. They were out of verde sauce for my chilaquiles but the rojo was amazing. The server was very sweet and we had a beautiful breakfast. This was certainly one of my top breakfast places I've been.

Looking for a regular coffee hangout in San Miguel de Allende, Jamie W and I didn't need to look…read moreany further. Conveniently located on the cobblestoned artery between our hotel and Zona Centro's social hub, Jardin Allende, this three-floor cafe was compact but surprisingly relaxing given the constrained layout of the seating. The cafe's name translates appropriately to "good aromas" since the roasted beans wafted throughout the space. On our first visit, we arrived in the middle of the afternoon and treated ourselves to the MX$85 Affogato, a nice combo of vanilla gelato and an espresso shot (Photo 10). We came back the following morning when the place was literally percolating with customers. This time we shared a table on the rooftop. What I appreciated was how the owner had no compunction about telling laptoppers not to monopolize tables clearly set up for multiple people. This time we had true beverages with their own twists. I had the MX$60 Cococcino, a cappuccino with a touch of coconut oil, and Jamie went for the MX$70 Iced Buzz Latte with honey and a double espresso shot (Photo 9). Both perfectly satisfied because beyond the quality of the beans, we saw the exacting process they followed in their execution. It was a smooth brew in a chill space that was obviously attracting a lot of expats. I wish we had more time for a third visit. COFFEE - 5 stars...high quality, locally sourced, disciplined execution AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...casual and relaxing in a rustic space SERVICE - 5 stars...very thoughtful approach here TOTAL - 5 stars...a go-to coffee house, for sure RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

I had El Rancho, which was a quinoa bowl with roasted veggies, sauce and eggs. Everything was absolutely delicious, coffee and tea were great. I got a crème brûlée latte to go that was one of the best I've ever had. The servers were attentive and helpful. The place is small, but great energy. We sat on the rooftop patio which had a nice relaxing vibe.

The shop…read morehas a quaint, peaceful vibe--the kind of place you could sit and relax with a book or catch up with friends without feeling rushed. I ordered a flat white, which was solid--smooth, nicely balanced, no complaints. But then I tasted my friends' drinks... and wow, I definitely missed out. They had variations of coffee and chocolate drinks, and every single one I tried was really, really good. Rich, velvety, and chocolatey without being overly sweet. That touch of chocolate added so much depth without overpowering the coffee. The guy at the counter was incredibly kind and patient with our group and gave genuinely great recommendations. You could tell he knew the menu well and really wanted people to enjoy what they ordered. All around, this place just hits the mark--cozy atmosphere, great drinks, and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back next time, and I'm going straight for the chocolate.
