Me and my wife picked up two mocha double shots cappuccinos today. The best ones we have had so far in Oaxaca. Service was very friendly. I also bought a kilo of local ground coffee that we have not tried yet. Worth a visit.

Unser liebstes Café in Oaxaca. Ein bisschen abseits des Zentrums führen hier Mutter und Tochter ein kleines Café, das nur 3-4 Tische hat. Die Beiden sind sehr freundlich und helfen auch gerne, wenn man kein perfektes Spanisch spricht. Ich hatte hier den besten Café den ich jemals irgendwo bekommen habe, wirklich hervorragend. Wir hatten auch ein sehr gutes Frühstück mit Huevos Rancheros und ein Omlett. Alles wird frisch gekocht und schmeckt authentisch und lecker. Auch die Säfte werden frisch gepresst. Die Preise sind mehr als fair für das was man bekommt. Große Empfehlung. Falls meine Bewertung hilfreich war freue ich mich über einen Daumen hoch :-)

A cute family owned cafe hidden on ave Hidalgo. Coffee is really good and so is the food. They have a mix of Oaxacan and western dishes. I tried most of their veggie options. Chilaqueles were my favorite, not the best I had, but better than other places in the city. Ordered the pancakes quite a few times, once they came out a bit undercooked; same with the French toast, it was a bit soggy. Despite this I kept coming back because the ladies are friendly, service is good, and food is delicious!
