Great service and an excellent coffee menu. Good atmosphere with some hidden trophies from the French national team. The artwork on the walls makes for a nice backdrop. Pro tip - Get here early to avoid the wait and bring bug spray. read more

Went to this cafe on my birthday and on vacation. I loved the environment and the customer service was outstanding. I ordered a latte and croissant. It was delicious. It is also a great place to take pictures, go on a date or just enjoy the morning breeze while sipping some coffee. read more

This is an outstanding place. The service was so good and the food and coffee a stand out! I got The Roll... scrambled eggs, Gouda cheese, avocado on a delicious roll. It came with 3 small seasoned potatoes. The macchiato was one of the best I've had in a very long time. There was also a guitar duo singing in beautiful harmonies and playing so skillfully on the guitar. It was a slow morning, sipping my coffee, reading some poetry and enjoying a really good morning. This is such a special place. read more

Hubby got bacon breakfast tacos with papas and enjoyed his as well. Both meals along with 2 limonadas minerales was less the 500 pesos with tip read more

I went on a Saturday morning a little after 9:00 a.m. it took a while for me to get service I'm not sure if it's because I was sitting at the bar alone. I am glad that I waited though because I thoroughly enjoyed my food and drinks I got their breakfast combo which comes with one coffee latte or tea as well as your choice of freshly squeezed orange juice watermelon or grapefruit juice and then I got the egg Benedict and they gave me a complimentary croissant The ambiance is very nice they have an inside seating area as well as a cupboard deck but I opted to sit outside because it felt so refreshing The watermelon juice was really refreshing. I got a flat white which was pretty strong but I decided not to add any sugar and just go for it the eggs Benedict was delicious the Hollandaise sauce is perfect it's not overpowering and I have been good no stomach issues after visiting read more

This is my fave breakfast spot in Playa Del Carmen. Not far off the beaten path makes for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. The inside of the restaurant as well as their courtyard are beautiful and inviting. Their pastry case is like no other featuring mouthwatering cheesecakes adorned with fresh coconut or passion fruit, and croissants you just wanna rip apart and stuff in your mouth. The portions are generous so keep that in mind to ensure you don't over order. Their smoothie bowl, fresh juice, matcha, vegetarian bagel, and waffle are not to be missed' read more

I love to leave realistic reviews, and let's be complaining honest the place is beautiful, but their tables and chairs are completely loose. I used to really like this place but every time I come, their food is inconsistent as well as your drinks. I usually order the French toast which used to look like the image below, and then they change it to a regular bread not to mention they used to give you lots of berries, and now they gave me three I usually order the same drink, which is There, Chi Chi Chino, which comes with a blended drink and ice cream on top that has espresso in it already and a side of cookie and a spoon this time. It was literally just milk, the ice cream and espresso on the side and they expect you to pour it on top, which was OK but then they didn't give us a spoon and we had to wait about 10 minutes to collar server. For two minutes and we both got our food at separate time and no utensils. Again had to flag our waiter down. When my food arrived they then told me the side I order was no longer available and when I asked to subistiute to something else they said no only a salir. Who wants salud for breakfast ?. What made the situation worse was that I was still expected to pay full price for what was essentially a half meal with no side. On top of that, when I asked for a cup to go, I later noticed that a "meal to go" charge had been added to my bill without it being discussed when I requested it at my table. I did bring this up to the host, and , he was kind enough to correct hut only after I spoke up. This place used to be at a reasonable price but with the popularity I feel like priced went up with their quality way down. I do not think I will be coming any time soon anymore. It really sucks because my first couple time here have been great the last 3 where disappointing and I continued to come and give it the benefit of the doubt but after this 3rd time disappointment they lost a loyal customer hopefully with a few realistic reviews they can take a look back and see how to improve there hospitality and food quality as it once used to be. The last pic of the 4 little berries and bland "French toasts is where they are now serving companies to the first 2 pics the first picture of the 3 toast where unique and rich in flavor. They the changed the bread to a normal sandwich bread with bland flavors and the 3rd one was not French toast at all was bread with sugar and a few berries. read more

Delicious food and amazing service. I love this place. My gf and I ate there almost daily.

This place is very cute. The service and food does take a while, so you need to come prepared to wait. The drinks come out pretty fast so order something refreshing while you wait. There is no AC here like most places in Playa, so keep that in mind when you come to eat. When we ate it was super hot at around 11am. The French toast was a good portion and had a lot of whip cream. If you do not like whip cream, ask for it to be removed. I liked that the smoothies had metal straws. Environmentally friendly and also didn't see many straws in local restaurants. The cappuccino has such a cute design and comes with a little banana bread. I can see why this place is popular- it is cute, food is decent, the coffees are nice, the smoothies are refreshing and everyone is nice. read more

This places is popular so expect a line and a wait. Service was terribly slow. Not acknowledged after 15 mins of just sitting.. My food was meh. I ordered the French Gringo. A side of potatoes, waffles , scrambled eggs, instead of bacon I asked for smoked salmon. The salmon was ice cold on top of my food. When I asked for it to be warmed a little on the grill. The server was like no, but let me ask. Well he never came back. 30 mins later as I've asked for the chk twice at this pt someone comes to ask "is there something wrong with your food" I was over it, hungry and ready to go. Although they have vegetarian / vegan options. All of the other protein was pork. read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp and decided to try it out. Started off with the almond croissant and it was good, but also not the best almond croissant I've had. The mokachino was super delicious, definitely on the more chocolaty side. I ordered the mushroom eggs Benedict. They were really good but I'm not sure if it was the mushroom or the hollandaise sauce, but something was a little too salty. The side salad was really good and refreshing with a nice, light dressing. Overall, the ambiance and the service was really good and made the experience enjoyable. Definitely recommend trying it out! read more

Great service - great attitude - friendly - nice outside area to sit in! I get why people give it a great review! MoKa was great! The 'motuleños' eggs are a play I think, on guevos rancheros! The soupy broth was delicious around a corn tortilla and eggs on top! Pro tip - eat it with a fork and a spoon !!!! I don't think you can order anything bad here! Love it. Enjoy and you are welcomed read more

I'll acknowledge that this place has a nice setup and is aesthetically appealing, but... ...of the couple hundred of coffee shops I've reviewed, this one may have served me the worst cup of coffee (americano). It was bitter and burnt and undrinkable. And also... ...I'd hoped to sit here and read for a bit, but the place smelled *very* strongly of cleaning product (Pine-Sol or some such thing). Even on the patio the smell was intolerable, and I had to leave (after throwing out my coffee). (Maybe I'd be okay with this if they were cleaning up at the end of the day, but it was around 4p on a weekday.) Very unpleasant experience overall read more

I'm in love with Cafe Choux Choux. A few years ago we stayed in a condo behind the cafe and would come for our breakfast and a bit of music. We love MUSIC there as much as the delicious food. Recently I'm out in Playacar which is a distance to the cafe but I grabbed a bike and rode into the CENTRO and over to the cafe. I invited a few friends to join me for lunch there. Everyone at the table kept going on and on this is delicious!!!! I'm not a caffeine person and they are so nice they made me a decaf coffee both days I rode over there. The side salad is so fresh. The menu is so perfect with smoothies or kombucha , delicious coffees, interesting ice teas. The cafe had a mariachi band in for a few minutes to play for the customers. I didn't know the songs but my friends did. What fun! This is my favorite place in Playa del Carmen. If you can try to get over there and just kick back and enjoy. I forgot to mention all the young people running around serving everyone you can hear the laughter and enjoyment both servers and customers are having. I'll be back in a few months to see how the place is doing with each time getting better and better read more

Food, coffee, service and ambience were exceptional. Definitely recommend to tourist and locals.

Pleasant service and the food was made fresh to order. My egg white veggie omelette was prepared just as I requested and was delicious. Exactly what I needed after the humid morning run to refuel my energy. Espresso, fresh juice, smoothie also available. Visa/MasterCard accepted. ~Christy read more

So good we went here twice on our trip. I love the wide variety of foods and drinks. You can get something very healthy or something a little more indulgent. My favorite was the bagel sandwich with cheese, caramelized onions, and tomatoes. They were very busy around 9 am. Service was friendly and as fast as possible with how many staff they had vs how many guests. read more

IMPRESSIVE food/drinks here for an inexpensive price! Love the outside seating area-trees isolate us from the quiet street noise. Loved breakfast on the swing! Fantastic breakfast and latte! Order a juice and you can hear them juicing the fruit! Order a cafe/latte/cappuccino and you can watch them create your best coffee ever! I picked the crepe breakfast, complete with my choice of fresh juice, a Choux Pastry to die for, and crepe. My partner chose an eggs breakfast-including the bowl of potatoes, fresh juice, coffee choice and Choux Pastry! Excellent food & service & atmosphere. Clean unisex bathrooms. Off the beaten 5th Av path-worth the walk to find it! I would have to admit that this was my favorite breakfast stop in Playa del Carmen for the vibe, freshness, superior food especially CHOUX PASTRY! read more

A very cute french cafe with a jungle twist. This seems like the type of place that you're welcome to stay a few hours and just enjoy the food and maybe get a little work done. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors and just a short 10 minute walk from 5th ave I had the ham and cheese croissant and my counterpart had the gringo waffle. We both opted for potatoes as a side dish and both orders left us filled and satisfied. My only complaint was the table was sticky and dirty despite being wiped down. But very friendly staff and they spoke great English for those of us who don't know much Spanish. Loved the vibe and would definitely come back read more

Really enjoyed Cafe Choux Choux. Fresh fruit, great coffee, Avacado toast. Loved the atmosphere and service

We had about a 20 minute wait but our experience was similar to others, drinks come out quick and the food comes out a bit after. There's a little bit of a fight over the circular fans to get the air movement in the cafe but the food is worth it! The bacon onion goat cheese toasts (we ordered three entrees) is amazing and they have a delicious scrambled egg on tortillas. We also had the smoothies, Kombucha, lemonade and juice and it helped that the drinks were nice and cold. read more

We are staying in an Airbnb just around the corner from Cafe Choux Choux. The food is so good and the people are so friendly that we've gone for breakfast everyday since about a week now. I LOVE the protein smoothies and fruit bowls (which is generous with enough to take home). My husband has had pancakes with 3 eggs over medium and another morning French toast. They also bake banquettes, pastries, and quiches for takeout. The coffee smells delicious. Today we're heading there to try some of their lunch dishes which we've seen coming out of the kitchen! The servers and so kind and always have a smile for us. Never disappointed. This is a wonderful place you should checkout. read more

Located on 20th Avenue between 20th Street and 24th Street, Choux Choux Café markets itself as one of Playa Del Carmen's most environmentally conscious eateries, a natural aesthetic lined with local art fronting the kitchen which focuses on French favorites built from local Ingredients. Housing found objects and foliage, the clientele at least half English-speaking on Monday morning, it is with the smell of Coffee in the air that guests are invited to peruse a small menu, though on this day the focus was entirely on the Pastry case in back. Offering Vegetarian-friendly fare from Breakfast to Dinner, with low prices allowing a opportunity to sample broadly, it was while waiting for a Ham and Cheese Croissant to be warmed that Choux Choux Café's Almond version was tasted, high humidity doing nothing to help its texture while the Filling was commercial Frangipane and far too sweet. A bit better with the Butter Croissant, though a side of fried Potatoes was far more memorable than the Sandwich, Choux Choux's Corn Muffin is fairly basic while both Lemon Cake and Banana Nut Bread do well with the moisture and come in a sizeable slice for the price. Further disappointing with an Oatmeal Cookie, the sort of thing one might market as an item for hikers to obtain maximum nutrient density without much stomach impact or taste, Pesos are far better spent on Pan Suisse that isn't necessarily well-laminated but well-stocked with Butter as well as Chocolate. read more

I love this spot. The service is top notch and the food is amazing!!!! My go to for breakfast in Playa.

The atmosphere is beautiful, and the breakfast is solid. Most of the dishes taste good and include either eggs, sweet pastry, and fruit bowls. The smoothies and and espresso drinks are also good. We wary of the the pour overs, they are not good. Prices are in line with a premium Playa cafe. Be careful about the crowds; there will likely be a wait during peak morning weekend hours. read more

Absolutely loved this place. It's in an unsuspecting spot but the food was totally worth the trek depending where you're at! Avocado toast, fruit bowl, quiche, and granola were all devoured! Also such a cute vibe! read more

I've only had the croissants and a juice, but this place is really cute inside. And the staff are really friendly. A nice spot to visit.

Amazing food. Great environment. Must try restaurant/cafe if you're in Playa Del Carmen! Been here at least half a dozen times now and have never been disappointed. Great cafe to work out of if you're a digital nomad because the coffee and croissants are to die for. They supply croissants to other cafe's as well so you KNOW they're good. I've tried the eggs benny with smoked salmon (must must get!), the vegan waffles (gotten this twice now and it's always so delicious), french toast (MUST TRY! The texture of everything together is soo good. Crispy on the outside from the sugar and cinnamon, soft inside, and the whipped cream is amazing), le quebecrois (yum!!), and variety of their baked goods like croissants, cheesecake and bread. Coffee, kombucha and their smoothies are also really good. Such great prices on everything as well. Highly recommend coming here if you're in playa!! read more

This place was a mega disappointment. Service was some of the worst i have had in years, maybe even ever. Upon seating, it took our server 15 to 20 minutes to come to us. I saw at least 3 people leave because it took servers too long to go talk to the tables. People were blatantly ignored. While ordering our food, we were told there were no poached eggs, so we changed what we wanted to something else (no big deal). As we were observing food coming out of the kitchen, almost all dishes had a poached egg. We were lied to. Then it took 2 hours to get food. It was outrageous, and our server didn't come to us 1 time! We had to motion we wanted our check. Service was 0/10. Food was 1/10. Not worth it at all. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. read more

This place is the real deal. The coffee was on point. We were in a hurry and had to order and leave quickly, I wish we had time to stay and enjoy our coffee and breakfast but I guess that will be until another time.
