    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!

We knew immediately we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was busy, with a line of people putting their names down for a table. It definitely has that destination-restaurant energy. Once we were seated, we ordered several things to share. We tried a mix of fried bites, including croquetas, shrimp, and stuffed squash blossoms. The croquetas were crisp and rich, and the squash blossoms were one of the more interesting things on the table. We also ordered pizza. The crust had a nice char and chew, and the toppings were generous. I enjoyed it, although a couple of my coworkers were a little less enthusiastic. For me, the smaller plates stood out more. The room was lively, and the mix of vintage plates, copper-toned tables, and simple details gave the space a lot of personality. I also liked how naturally the menu lent itself to passing plates around and trying a little of everything. I'm glad we checked it out, especially because Lardo comes up often when people talk about eating in Mexico City. I'd happily come back and explore more of the smaller plates.

    During our recent trip to Mexico City, we finally explored the Condesa neighborhood and stopped at…read moreFicelle, a bakery I had seen recommended on TikTok. 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!

    My friends and I visited Ficelle several mornings for breakfast and pastries, and each time was a…read moredelight. The service was attentive and friendly--occasionally a little slow, but that's part of the relaxed rhythm of being in Mexico. The outdoor seating is charming, surrounded by greenery and decorated with natural plants, which creates such a pleasant atmosphere to start the day. I especially enjoyed the Betty juice made with beets--it was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. The pastry selection feels endless, unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere in Mexico. During our visit, they were offering pan de muerto for Día de los Muertos, with a creative twist: a rich chocolate filling. It was outstanding! Overall, my friends and I had a wonderful experience here--delicious food, a beautiful setting, and a bakery that truly makes you want to come back again and again.
