If you want a traditional Mexican breakfast, then Centro Café is the place to be. The café is not…read moretoo big and they have a few outside seatings. We were seated immediately without wait. They have a wide selection of coffee imported from different regions of Mexico and also internationally (including India, Columbia, and Brazil). For each type of coffee, they have 5 selections with dimme being the strongest and Roberta Espianoza the lightest. You could also have special request to your coffee such as making more acidic or using soy milk if you are lactose intolerant. Since I'm not a big fan of bitter coffee, I ordered a Roberta Espianoza latte with a trenza de queso y arandanos (which is basically a cranberry bread pastry). For actual breakfast, I had a chilaquiles con roja (red sauce), juevo (egg), y pollo (chicken). The coffee was exactly what I expected: lightly toasted with a slight milky aroma aftertaste. They even gave me mineralized water to purify any aftertaste so I can relive every tasteful bless through each sip. The trenza de queso y arandanos was not overly sweet and the cranberry was just barely enough to be noticeable. It complimented really well with the latte. The highlight of the breakfast was definitely the chilaquiles. It wasn't just a life experience, it was life changing! The flavor was very robust. There was just enough spiciness to give a kick. If this was a classic Mexican breakfast, then the Americans better step up their game. As far as the service goes, it was muy excellente! Our server actually knew how to speak English and guided us through the menu, which was only available in Spanish. He also recommended to us some popular touristy spots in Mexico City, which I really appreciated. If I could give 6 stars to this place, I would do it in a heartbeat. The food and service both were on point! I have already recommended this cafe to several other tourists whom I met along the way today.

In search of a good cup of a hot beverage this place surfaced in the hearth of the neighborhood of…read moresanta maria la ribera, with a park filled of late evening spirit, people exercising, running around, walking their dogs ( a lot of dogs ) or just doing the late evening bf n gf type of thing, the park is surrounded of this coffee & beer places, i guess they tried the bar type of place but realized the area isnt about that so they got the coffee & beer deal. Thats what this place is about, which i love, reminds me of that new starbucks era where they are selling wine now days at select shops, because well honestly some times you want a beer but ur girl want a coffee so how do u do it? at this type of places. Unfortunately with this type of hybrids come the high prices, true example of this shop will sell u mediocre cups of coffee and hot chocolates made with cocoa powder all for starbucks prices, obviously beers of double their price, thats what irritated me, i find much cheaper prices in downtown area next to the zocalo. Anywho, if that wasnt all, the service its alright, however it seems like their owners are very picky about what time they close, i came at a cool not so chilly night, no rain, no cold and well they even had a band of bad teenager musicians but it was alright, and at 11pm they where like, can i bring you the check, this to all the tables, there was people passing by thinking about staying out for some coffee but, they really where just not about staying pass their bed time. Place its waited by kids (late teens - 20's maybe) from the area, which is cool, but you got them all their friends passing by and staying for a 4mnt chat while you are trying to get their attention, so its really unprofessional. Anywho the place has potential but yet i guess they have seen too many bad days that probabbly have deceided to not put much effort on it, so they dont care if they having a good night or not. As mentioned expect to spend $100 pesos on a mediocre coffee, a crepe or wrapp per person.

Overall loved this place and will without a doubt be back!

They have different types of beans, all Mexican origin. They didn't speak much English so I couldn't get any recommendations. I used Google Translate but that made it more confusing. As it said coffee with sugar or coffee without sugar. I'm guessing it's the type of beans you'd buy if you drink your coffee that way. On the bottom was single origin coffee which was what I was looking for. I took a pic and asked a barista at another coffee shop which coffee she preferred. I ended up getting a kilo of Pulma Hildago and Cordoba. They were both medium roast. I'm drinking the Pulma Hidalgo it's slightly sweet and has mild citrus notes. I really like it. After doing more research they also have Marago beans. I wish I had done my research at the time because Marago beans are quite rare. They are taller trees so they are harder to pick and they also give less beans so farmers don't usually plant them. They are also the largest coffee beans, called elephant beans. I don't know if they taste good but I wish I tried it. I like this place, lots of Mexican single origin beans and even some rare varietals.

I wasn't sure exactly what to get and Juan, one of the guys who works here, recommended Planchuela, and Caracolillo which is regionally grown in Chiapas. I bought a kilo of each type. This is not a restaurant or cafe mind you, they strictly sell regional coffee beans that are prepared and roasted. Think of it as a deli that sells just coffee. Juan told me that they have over thirty different types of coffee beans that we're grown all over Mexico. You would be very hard pressed to find any place like this outside of Mexico. What a great find!

What's up with that? The rest of the foods were at expected levels. The service staff were like tornados breaking any silence dancing through tight spaces. For the simplicity of.my order it still took almost 20 minutes to get yogurt. It's a fairly international zone and I could see other tables annoyed by how busy they were and unable to see the evilneye of desire coming from their tables. Still everyone was super polite, accepted my student Spanish, and worked to resolve any issues. The service and fruit variety warranted one star removal. Why pretend to be the best and deliver mediocrity in the simple areas?
