Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Mexico

"This ‘specialty coffee’ shop, as itty bitty as it looks, with just a couple of stools to sit down, actually hides the 10 years of expertise and recipes of one of the best baristas in the world and in Mexico –or so state the awards given to Carlos, the owner, by the 2019 World Coffee Championship, the 18th Mexican National Coffee Championship, and many others. Here, not only will you find fine Mexican coffee produced in Oaxaca, Veracruz and Guerrero, and roasted in-house, you’ll also get to try some unique drinks, like the one in the second picture with tamarind, espresso, tonic water and juniper berries. Yep, it’s as good as it sounds."

"This is the cafe across the road from Eco del Mundo that I mentioned earlier. Cafe Avellaneda always gets mentioned as one of the top Coyoacan coffee shops and I can’t argue. Not only is the coffee excellent but so is their conscience: they donate money from every sale to rural coffee farmers and allow them to sell beans at the price they think they deserve."

"Some come for specialty coffee, others for the variations of Mexico’s cacao, more for matcha tonic and all for an amazing co-working space. The station was developed with young local designers, the same population that fills the districts Condesa, Roma, as well as all coffee shops. At Blend sits the epitome of this culture: freelancers designing, programming and discussing away, from 7am to 10pm."

"In this case, a barista in Merida had recommended Blend Station(website in Spanish) to me, so I was determined to sample its coffee. Glass windows and doors stretch from the floor to the ceiling. Unsurprisingly, this gives it a bright and airy feel."

"Café by day, wine and cocktail bar by night – Cicatriz was easily our favorite place to imbibe in Mexico City. This two story loft transforms into an indoor/outdoor space with a simple opening of the garage door entrance, which is convenient as the space was overflowing with hipsters, fun music, and a very buzzy happening vibe. Obviously, their natural wine list is one of the best in town, including wines from Le Coste, Lammidia, Gut Oggau, Meinklang, La Stoppa, Strohmeier, and Bichi, but don’t stop there."

"With its meticulously executed craft cocktails and thoughtfully curated natural wine list, Cicatriz has changed the game for drinking in Juarez. Owned by New York transplants and siblings Scarlett and Jake Lindeman, the relaxed drinks destination combines new American style dishes, like an indulgent crispy chicken sandwich, with signature drinks like the Yokos, the house version of an Aperol spritz."

"Calle Dinamarca 44, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico. A brother-sister expat duo has opened this chic slice of Brooklyn in Colonia Juárez, the neighborhood currently angling to be Mexico City’s hippest. No complaints on that account at Cicatriz, whose open, industrial-styled storefront is a forum for..."

"A charming cafe from the venerable bread makers at Panaderia Rosetta. The menu is extensive, the space is beautiful, and you can't go wrong with a guava roll and scrambled eggs in spicy tomato sauce with the aromatic herb hoja santa. Havre 73, Juárez+52 55 9155 4805"

"The latest spot from Elena Reygadas, chef and owner of the lauded restaurant Rosetta, Café Nin has taken over the second location of her acclaimed bakery, Panadería Rosetta. Named for author Anaís Nin, the menu is eclectic and..."

"Panadería Rosetta in the Juárez neighborhood was successful from the moment that it opened, but Elena Reygadas didn’t rest there - instead she seized the..."

"This place offers the best of two worlds, a mix of a Mexican ‘specialty coffee’ shop, with its own coffee roaster, and a French bakery. While Yann (French) spends his hours baking fresh/organic bread and pastries, Ángel (Mexican) geeks out on the coffee making –from deciding the supplier (he buys the beans directly from local farmers) to roasting, grinding, brewing and serving the perfect cup of coffee. We can only imagine the smell when they turn on the roaster… we’d love to be their neighbors!"

"Café Passmar is situated in the center of a traditional Mexican market, but offers much more than the classic café de olla. Breaking away from the more commercially known and popular Mexican coffee beans of the east, Café Passmar instead uses Guerrero-grown beans, and this seems to work for them, as their coffee has won many competitions. So, after a hard day of shopping for chiles and mole, relax with an award-winning latte, complete with latte art."

"The foundation of quality coffee in Mexico City was Café Passmar. For 25 years they have consistently been roasting beans and winning national championships. It all started with Salvador’s father, an engineer and chemist."

"The place is literally a hole in the wall, so I’d recommend grabbing your cup to go when coming here, especially during busy hours!. You can find all sorts of hipsters and pre-work business men here. Alfonso Reyes 232, Hipódromo, 06100 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico"

"Just like its name, Chiquitito is a little tiny place, where a few baristas are crammed behind a coffee counter, but still seem to have room while they craft your drink. Everyone’s friendly."

"Didn’t make it to the one in Condesa but went to the one in las Lomas. Please check that out for more info."

"Cup of coffee: Head to Cafetzalli Coyoacán or Café El Jarocho for some of the best coffee in the neighborhood. Tip: Know that in Mexico City, unless you order your quesadilla with cheese, it typically won’t come inside unlike those in other parts of Mexico."

"Bosque de Chapultepec, seen from the Castillo|© GameOfLight/WikiCommons. While the Bosque de Chapultepec in and of itself, as the lungs of Mexico City, is a mighty impressive park, there are plenty of smaller treasures tucked within its perimeters that deserve a mention as well. One such garden is the Jardín del Alcazar, better known as ‘the garden next to Chapultepec Castle’."

"Once a historic residence for Mexican socialites, Hacienda de los Morales offers a fine dining experience to guests. Its charming interior features linen clothed tables and a romantic ambiance."
