    It's Coffee. And it's good. You'll get the usual assortment of coffee here. The kicker is, it's roughly the equivalent of going to a cafe in Italy - The coffee is uniformly good, and the ambience is somewhat generic. That's ok though, the point here is that the coffee is exactly that good - when you want a coffee/espresso/whatever, come by, get one, enjoy, and leave. Or, OTOH, hang out. Up to you!

    Cute coffee bar in Condesa. They have phenomenal service and delicious lattes. My partner and I stopped by for some coffee early in the morning. We ordered two lattes, both of which tasted really good. My only complaint is that I wish they came out hotter!

    Very good little coffee shop in la condesa. It is not too busy on a weekday afternoon. People are drinking coffee and working there. Solid coffee drinks no doubt, but not many other choices there if your companion is not a coffee person like you.

    I've only come for the coffee but it's been delicious every time. They have 4 different types of pour overs (i.e. metodos) so I had fun trying all of them, multiple times. The interior space is really fun inside and it's very quiet in the morning. Middle of the day has more free Lancers / laptops, but if you come before 9 or 10 it's easy to get a seat. A solid neighborhood gem!

    Tiny spot in Condesa. Coffee was delicious. Staff was very friendly and was able to converse in English!

    One of my favorite meals while in CDMX. We had reservation and asked to be seated in their patio…read morearea because it was such a nice day. The patio was covered with so many greenery and provided a lot of shades. We ordered a few items to share: - Toasted bread, chicken liver, and black truffle: a good appetizer to start off with. The chicken pate was good, a bit different from what I'm used to. - Pappardelle with pork ragu: this was super good. Love the pasta texture on this. Pork ragu sauce was also perfect. - Robalo ceviche, watermelon, Serrano pepper: a refreshing ceviche to balance out the meal. the watermelon added a bit of sweetness. - Pizza capocollo, radicchio, straquinella cheese: a good size pizza to share. I like thin crust. - Arugula, roasted tomatoes, Parmesan salad: fresh arugula that went perfectly with the roasted tomatoes. Every meal needs a good salad. - Ricotta stuffed zucchini blossoms: this was my favorite dish we tried. Such a unique combo of flavors. The ricotta cheese just melted when you bite into the zuchinni blossoms. It also had a light crispy texture. - Hummus and pita bread: another good choice for appetizer. The hummus was solid. The service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and our food didn't take long to come out. Would highly recommend to add this place to your list. This is also a great area to check out, plenty of things to do in La Condesa.

    Maybe Lardo is better for breakfast, but we didn't feel it was fully worth the hype for lunch. We'd…read moremade a reservation in advance for Saturday at 2PM. The interior was brightly lit with a large beautiful bar, and had the vibe of a French cafe. We were brought out some complimentary (pita-like) bread, which was nice, but would have been better with something like olive oil to dip it in. My friend and I ordered 3 items to share - the Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Eggplant Parmesan, and Barbacoa. Portions were on the smaller side, but this was the perfect food quantity for us. The Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms were fine but a little bland. I liked the Eggplant Parmesan and Barbacoa, but neither really blew my mind. For everything I'd heard about Lardo, I felt like our experience was good but not amazing. Would check it out for breakfast to compare!

    This cafe is true to itself the real deal. What made the cafe super interesting to me was the…read morefact that they sell great pastries, various forms of cafes, and an equally diverse selection of wine. This block was already teaming with people dining on the sidewalk, and this cafe took it a step further with real awnings and plenty of light. The only things missing were the outdoor heat lamps. Obviously they don't use those in this part of the world, although it was a little nippy when I walked over here. I came on a complete whim, and I ordered a pastry with fruit and a cold Topo Chiko agua in the plastic bottle. I could tell the pastry had not been sitting on the counter all day, because it was still soft. I liked this cafe as well as this trendy little neighborhood.

The pastries and service were delicious. While they do not have indoor seating, it was very pleasant to sit outside on the sidewalk and people-watch. We tried three different pastries: a plantain pudding pastry, a fruity meringue pastry, and a very unique peanut butter and chapulines cruffin. All were excellent. My only piece of constructive feedback is regarding the payment process. We had to pay for the pastries separately from the coffee, which made the experience less smooth. It would be much more convenient if everything could be paid for on a single check. Overall, it was a wonderful spot!
