Looking for a regular coffee hangout in San Miguel de Allende, Jamie W and I didn't need to look…read moreany further. Conveniently located on the cobblestoned artery between our hotel and Zona Centro's social hub, Jardin Allende, this three-floor cafe was compact but surprisingly relaxing given the constrained layout of the seating. The cafe's name translates appropriately to "good aromas" since the roasted beans wafted throughout the space. On our first visit, we arrived in the middle of the afternoon and treated ourselves to the MX$85 Affogato, a nice combo of vanilla gelato and an espresso shot (Photo 10). We came back the following morning when the place was literally percolating with customers. This time we shared a table on the rooftop. What I appreciated was how the owner had no compunction about telling laptoppers not to monopolize tables clearly set up for multiple people. This time we had true beverages with their own twists. I had the MX$60 Cococcino, a cappuccino with a touch of coconut oil, and Jamie went for the MX$70 Iced Buzz Latte with honey and a double espresso shot (Photo 9). Both perfectly satisfied because beyond the quality of the beans, we saw the exacting process they followed in their execution. It was a smooth brew in a chill space that was obviously attracting a lot of expats. I wish we had more time for a third visit. COFFEE - 5 stars...high quality, locally sourced, disciplined execution AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...casual and relaxing in a rustic space SERVICE - 5 stars...very thoughtful approach here TOTAL - 5 stars...a go-to coffee house, for sure RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

I had the pleasure of staying in a home around the corner from Albedo for about a week during a…read morefamily trip to Mexico. I've been a coffee nerd for a few decades and a home roaster for about 2 years. TL/DR: I love this place. More detailed write-up: Staff: Super friendly and did their best to accommodate my poor Spanish skills. Coffee: All of their beans come from 3 regions in Mexico and you can get your drinks made from single-origin medium roasts or a blend. There's also a darker "robusto" roast if you're into that. Over the course of my week in town, I had drinks made with everything except the decaf. All of the roasting is done in-house on a beautiful, locally-made roaster. From a flavor standpoint, I found something to appreciate in each drink I had, and the quality level was up there with some of my favorite spots in my hometown of Portland, Oregon. The one area where I saw room for improvement was in the realm of latte art. Some of the guys had better skills than others, but in the grand scheme of things, I'm there to drink my coffee, not look at it. Processes: This part's pretty cool, and you don't see it very often. Once you select your bean, you can choose from a range of processes, including aeropress, pour over, espresso machine, and a few others. It's a nice way to explore the different aspects of a particular bean or roast. Crowd pleasers: If you've got someone in the group that's not a coffee purist, their mocha made my wife happier than I'd care to admit ; ) Get over there. Drink coffee.

It's tiny and they only accept cash in the form of pesos. It's on a hidden street near Juárez Park and near the opulent Rosewood Hotel. We happened upon this little gem after meandering through the beautiful Juárez Park. It was the perfect timing. The seating area is tiny, with 3-4 tables surrounded by plants in pots which double as the walls. Outside is a parking lot I think. Anyway if you meander by drop in and enjoy.

It was a small terrace with around 6ish tables, some cute decor and tons of plants. It was packed when we arrived but it only took about 15 minutes for our group of 4 to be seated. We each ordered a different beverage and they were all so cute. I have to say the chai latte that my sister ordered was the best I've ever had. My mocha was super delicious but I was feeling a little jealous of her drink order lol. They were out of verde sauce for my chilaquiles but the rojo was amazing. The server was very sweet and we had a beautiful breakfast. This was certainly one of my top breakfast places I've been.

We were the only patrons when we arrived but there was an amazing guitarist/singer performing so we got our own little private show! She was really so amazing.

Both dishes, while simple, were so delicious! I loved the beans, too! They offer a combo, which we both took advantage of, so I got fresh fruit on the side and he got a house-made juice. The combo also comes with 2 cups of coffee and trust me, you want the coffee! It was some of the best I've had in a long time! Our service was great and the courtyard seating area was nice.
