Muss Cafe is a coffee shop located on the first floor of the Casa Antonieta hotel in the city…read morecenter of Oaxaca. This is not as well-known as other popular cafe spots in the area so it's not as busy and there is seating inside. We ordered the shakshuka ($125) and baguette jamon serrano y mozarella ($195). The shakshuka base was more of a soup than a sauce and its flavor was decent. We asked for the sandwich without olives but it still had some in there but it was fine. For drinks the flat white ($65) and americano ($45) were okay. It's more peaceful and not as busy if that's the vibe you're looking for. If you want another place to relax you can head through the door at the back of the cafe to the lobby of the hotel. If you're staying at the hotel this cafe is very convenient to get pastries or coffee.

I didn't realize there's outdoor seating. There's this hidden door ( well hidden to me because I…read morecouldn't see it. It's a tad bit romantic in there with low lit lighting.) it's really beautiful I tried to sit out there but was not allowed. It is for guest to the hotel. I had no idea it was part of a hotel. Gorgeous building. That hidden door makes sense. Mostly tourist, a few pretentious folk making me smile. I feel like if I don't look up I could be back at home in echo park. There is a local getting some work done on his laptop next to me. Small place, you could sit at the bar , there's 5 wooden stools. Now to the coffee. I had a single cappuccino with oatmilk. Strong and delicious coffee. It makes me not want to try other coffee shops but I must compare! You'll find goat milk yogurt here and chia pudding which I need before I venture off to my temazcal. Good coffee and grateful for light breakfast items items that are good for my sensitive gut. I asked and the coffee beans are legit from Oaxaca roasted from a place called San Juan cacahuatepec.

One of the best decisions of the trip! The M&M special lived up to its name. Perfectly cooked, delicious flavors, my only disappointment was that I wish it came with slightly more bread to soak up the goodness of it all. Company ordered the toasts and while I didn't taste them because I loved my dish, they looked good. The avocado toast comes with their salsa macha, which I enjoyed but could be a bit much if you're not into spice. The turmeric coffee was earthy and glad I tried it but I needed more caffeine so I ordered the iced agave latte which helped and was refreshing too! We ate in the courtyard which was cute but the chairs were hella uncomfortable. Despite that, would highly recommend! Typical to my experience in Oaxaca, there's no rush to turn tables, so we waited a bit for the check but the lesson learned there is to ask for the check when they pick up your plates if you don't plan on lollygagging.

Spacious and modestly decorated. At the time we visited, we were the only customers for a good two hours. The staff are courteous and polite. The one thing I noticed is that the space, like much of downtown, is rather dusty... But seemed more pronounced than other cafes, maybe due to lack of upkeep. My dish and glass of water had a few flecks floating at the bottom... TISANA GUAYABA: Hmm... Just hardly a wink of guava essence is in this. Barely sweet, mostly water? Not sure if this can even count as tea... We tried the upper level, which had an outlook of the city's worn skyline; a brown and gray quilt of weathered tiles and graffiti. I can't say that it was the most beautiful view, but an interesting one nonetheless. NOTE: The bathroom smell can waft through the first floor for a while, even with the windows and door wide open :') Not very appetizing...

During my stay in Oaxaca Centro Café La Antigua has become my go to coffee shop. The postres, the Mexican chocolaté brownie is delicious and moist! More importantly it's not overly sweet!I've also had the two meat ( pierna hogado and serrano ham) baguette with salad! Amazingly good. The waitress is, as always friendly and helpful.
