There are so many other options around town and specifically in Polanco. The barista was kind, but the coffee was weak and lacked character. On the outside the shop looked cool and hip, but the quality was not there. Sorry just my opinion.

I came to this cafe relatively early, and it was basically the first cafe that I saw along the…read moreavenida Reforma. It's situated close to where I work downtown, and I really needed to get an energy boost, as well as, something to put in my stomach. The cafe itself is quite large, and there are more than enough tables and places to sit. I didn't notice any outdoor seating, but that didn't matter, I found a nice spot along the window area. It was somewhat early to order any real food, so instead I got the Chocalatin pastry, which is similar to a croissant with chocolate. Instead of regular coffee, I decided on a medium cappuccino with leche, and for that I added 3 sugar packs. There were quite a few people seated inside, and I would guess about four people standing in the line in frontoc of me. The Chocalatin pastry was a great compliment to the capuccino, and it was a nice space to chill out and enjoy the scene.

This is a Mexican take on Starbucks, located in the Historical Center of Mexico City…read more Pricing is slightly less than Starbucks but the shops are not as nice. Coffee was good, but the plump blonde female cashier was really grumpy and that loses you a few stars. It was a hot summer day and I asked for an iced cappuccino. The plump girl scowled and told me they could do iced coffee. I said, no, I wanted a cappuccino. After a ten minute argument during which I told her I knew the difference between a cappuccino and a coffee and she maintained they were the same thing, finally she said, ok-ok-ok and caved in to my demand. When it arrived, it was an iced coffee. Come on, I know what iced coffee is. An iced coffee is not the end of the world but I ordered iced cappuccino. I asked the server, who was quite apologetic, to take it back and bring me a cappuccino and a glass of ice. He did so and the problem was solved. Two points back for the helpful server taking care of this. But the cashier should have done it from the beginning. Any shop with cappuccino and ice can make iced cappuccino. If I'd dealt with him from the beginning I'd have given this place a much higher rating.

My friend and I were on a community bike ride on Reforma Avenue, and we decided to take a break and…read morestop here for lunch. The place seemed fairly busy, bit it was no problem at all getting a table. Thankfully they had a menu in English, which helped us decide on something that we were a little bit familiar with. I ordered two breaded tacos with cheese which came with guacamole sauce and onions. As usual I pushed the onions to the side. My friend got four chicken flautas with green sauce, and it looked so delicious. I was a little envious for those flautas, and I kind-of had remorse for what I ordered. My two tacos were good, bit not as good as the flautas. I also ordered an orange drink called maranjada, and she got a freshly squeezed lemonade. All-in-all we had a fine lunch here.
