I kid you not, best English muffin I have ever had . If you're wondering what to order you should grab their breakfast sandwich with the English muffin. 10/10! Add a little salsa macha and you got yourself gourmet meal. Everyone here was super helpful and nice. The cashier in the bakery recommended some sweets that I ended up loving. And the servers in the restaurant were also kind. This is the spot to get a wonderful breakfast! You can't go wrong with what you order.

Boulenc is a breakfast and cafe spot in the city center of Oaxaca. It's popular among tourists but…read morealso among locals as well. We went a little before open and there was already a small line forming. We ordered the ham and cheese croissant ($145 MXN) and the shakshuka ($135). The croissant was soft and I liked the cheesiness and creaminess. The shakshuka had a bit of spice and I liked dipping the bread into the sauce. The eggs were a little hard though and not runny at all. Both of these dishes were delicious and I still think about the shakshuka even today. For drinks we had the flat white ($58) and iced latte ($63) which were also good. We usually don't go to the same place more than once during our travels but this place was just so good we had to. This was my favorite brunch spot and I can see why it's such a popular spot.

Came here for brunch on a weekday since it was close to my job site at the time. Friends had…read morecommented that it was a really aesthetic place with really good food so it seemed perfect to make the short walk over. At the entrance, we were seated right away and I was simply blown away by the decorations and layout of the restaurant. It is this modern restaurant with the kitchen at the very center with lots of greenery and open areas. I would go back to Yegole simply for the decorations and the aesthetics of it. I ordered the Waffle Sandwich with House potatoes and a Matcha Latte. The matcha latte with very refreshing. It was definetely not the highest quality matcha I have tasted, but for the prices I think it was more than fair. The waffle sandwich was recommended to me by the waiter, who by the way was extrmemely kind and patient. He was able to make multiple subsections to one of the items ordered at the table and gave us great service. The waffle sandwich was AMAZING! All the ingredients worked really well together and would definitely recommend. Overall, this is a very cute cafe with amazing food and highly suggest checking it out if you are around the area.

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.

We found this gem due to an IG influencer, but can remember who. The actual restaurant we ate at is…read morecalled AMA, but IG picks up the coffee location downstairs. Ama is past the heavy door within Muss cafe. What called me to AMA was moreso the plants lol, but the menu carried through. I ordered the huevos rancheros with a water based Oaxacan chocolate. I was so happy they had the water option (most of Oaxaca does) bc the more north you go they usually just do milk. The water chocolate was delicious. Still smooth even with a little butter taste due to how the chocolate was price (no dairy though). The huevos rancheros were light, but delicious. Did wish for some more black beans though. My friends breakfast dishes were just as delicious. One ordered the Parmesan mushroom toast and the other toast with compote with a side of egg and bacon. Highly recommend this place for breakfast, drinks and a cute view of part of the city.

I ordered a cold brew which came in a cute bottle and had it in their courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a bookstore in case you want to buy something to read with your coffee.

It was really pleasant and fresh considering the hot temperatures outside . We started with some beers and micheladas which were cold and very well cooked. For the main I ordered the zarzamora (blackberry) mole with chicken and OMG it was one of the best moles I have ever had, adding the right balance of flavors and the chicken was cooked just right. The prices are inexpensive for the quality and the service was cordial and fast. Check it out!

Good quality food, pricier than other places but I had just recovered from an upset stomach and they seemed very cleanly so I took a chance. My French toast was exactly what I needed. Many of the decorations in the space were made of recycled materials which I think made the space very chic but sustainable. My partner ordered the eggs Benedict oaxacan style with pan con mole, queso y chapulines. IT WAS DELICIOUS!

Meh. I found this place to be a little overpriced for what it is. It was quiet when I went in,…read morethere were only 2-3 tables occupied around lunchtime. They have a large menu mostly comprised of sandwiches and burgers. Some odd items for Mexico including a bagel with lox and a Rueben. With that said I'm a little tired of Mexican food after being here for about two weeks so I opted to give it a try. I actually really liked the broccoli salad that came with the sandwich, it was tasty and fresh. Would definitely get that again. The sandwich was good, but the bread was terrible - so dry and hard. It was a bummer because the rest of the ingredients were yummy. They should have just thrown it on some simple white bread and it would be 10x better. Cheesecake was yummy but again a little pricey at 80 pesos. Probably wouldn't come back but I would consider getting a small side of the broccoli salad to go as a snack in the future.

It's really cute in their courtyard and they have much cleaner and nicer bathrooms than I've seen in most places in Oaxaca. I had a bagel yesterday for a mere 20 pesos and it was one of the best bagels I've ever had. And as a Jew from New York that's probably one of the highest compliments i can give. I also had a slice of chocolate cake which was excellent. A tad pricey at 75 pesos but worth every one. Wish they had more prepared foods outside of pizza and cold sandwiches as I'm sure they'd be excellent. Overall a fabulous place and I'll definitely be back.

I love the design; all vintage wood, the bar is really nice and all the local products, even the coffee mugs, spoons and napkin holders, are awesome, I also really like the birdcage lamps. The coffee is really good and is from a local coffee plantation. My favourite drink here is the water mango smoothie, so delicious on a warm day. There are loads of different desserts and they also offer salads, sandwiches and baguettes. My favourite dessert or just a nice snack with my coffee or smoothie are the oats cookies, the Nutella muffins are also delicious.
