Had some breakfast (sausage scramble) and coffee (latte) here while on business. Service was stellar but the food took a while. It was decent but not great. read more

This place is a little hole in the wall coffee shop that Ive visted twice while in MexicoCity. The first time seemed like the place wasnt situated in a pleasant place in Roma Norte., but upon our return the second time from a different street entrance, I viewed it differently, with better appeal. The coffee is really good, except they don't have "cafe de olla" which is what Americans drink, our drip coffee. The coffee Americano here is good, however, and not heavily delutted with hot water. I had an espresso here the first time, and it was short. In fact, most coffee here is served in 8oz cups, which is the only downside. The best part about this coffee shop is the baked goods. They are the closest to French bakery perfection. Highly recommend. The first time here, I ordered the eggs with chorizo, and I wouldn't recommend since they were a bit greasy and also spicy, unless you want spice early in the morning. read more

This place serves coffee, pastries, pizza and numerous breakfast options. I went for breakfast . The menu is straightforward and has all the classics such as chilaquiles, bagels and French toast. I went with the breakfast tamal. It was very delicious. Only complaint is that the tamale wasn't very warm. My egg was as well as the sauce. The sauce had a nice kick to it but wasn't overpowering at all. The inside is cozy and there was a lot of people working inside and grabbing coffee. read more

Great coffee and nice outdoor tables with WiFi. Fun street to watch in people passing by.

A genuinely great spot to relax with equally strong food, service, and drinks. The avocado toast isn't your typical version--it's a standout and absolutely worth ordering. The egg and cheese bagel reminded me how good something can be when the bread is fresh and the ingredients are real. I also tried the chai latte, which was excellent. Overall, they seem to have something for everyone, and everything I had was done right. read more

We stopped in here 3 times over the course of a 5 day trip, soooo you can say we were loving this little coffee shop. Everywhere we went, we would usually ask someone what they recommend or what their favorite thing on the menu was. Here, it was the orange cardamom pastry. Sold! It was by far my favorite pastry of the entire trip, and there were A LOT of pastries.... It was so so incredible. If you find yourself in Mexico City and then you find yourself near this coffee shop, go. Go and get the orange cardamom pastry and you will thank me later. For coffees I usually got an americano but also tried their lattes and even some sort of Mexican cold brew I think? All delicious and perfect pick-me-ups for long days walking about. They have a few tables inside and outside and our barista was incredible sweet, helpful and patient with our lack of Spanish. Loved having Forte so close to our hotel! read more

Think I just had the best pastry I've had in all of Mexico. Orangy, flaky, perfect croissant. The two lattes were delicious too. Yum. read more

We came here for breakfast for our first breakfast in Mexico City. We tried the Tascalate+ cold brew, which was interesting. I'd probably stick with regular caffeinated drinks. We also had the avocado toast with huevos. I'm not sure if I'm feeling the kimchee with the toast. I prefer my avocado toast without spicy fermented cabbage. I would still recommend trying this place. read more

Very cute coffee shop with a small but solid menu. Ambiance- 5/5 - small but cute interior. Looks like they have regulars Service 5/5 - very kind and patient staff who worked with our broken spanish while ordering. Food 4.5/5 - The bagel sandwich was absolutely amazing and such a great price (i think it was 8USD$) and the bagel is the right consistency/texture, scrambled eggs just set allowing a little creamy action to occur; with bacon and sauce to top it all off. The Kougan aman was 5/5; their pan de muertos was light and airy but not dry. They also have acai bowls and fruit bowls which looked really good. Coffee 4/5 - incredibly smooth; the espresso i had (I ordered an Americano) was a light fruitier/brighter than the roasts i am used to. But it was bright and acidic without tanin or a bitter taste. read more

Really cute place with lots of seating (including outdoor) and a middle of the place cafe station. Only thing I would note is be cognizant of the mosquitos at night. We ordered 1 beer, 1 glass of wine (natural wine yay!!), and the Funky Pizza (pepperoni, cheese, peppers, and fermented honey) - was delicious! As someone who is picky about pizza crust, it was soft yet crispy and delicious. The size of the pizza is enough for 2 if you also get a side or if you're just looking for a light dinner. That said, service was on the slower side (low staff due to it being a Wednesday late night I presume), but the pizza came out quickly! In total I paid 660 pesos, which I felt was a little pricey for what we got. However, next time, I'll definitely get some of the pastries (looked amazing) and especially want to try their breakfast.

I ordered a double espresso and it was amazing! They have seating outside. The staff was wonderful.

Loving a good coffee shop (especially a beautifully designed one), I needed to stop by Forte. My friend recommended their coffee, but said to skip their subpar pastries. So I went on a Friday afternoon to a full Forte. The tables inside and outside were full of people working, studying, talking. My latte was small, but mighty! It was one of the best I've had in CDMX. It cost $50 pesos. read more

Great service. We are from Texas and stopped in after our dinner in Amaya. We had great service and the gent(owner?) was really helpful. I would hands down recommend coming here. It was nice sitting outside as well. read more

This is literally a hole in the wall, the coffee is good but the pastries are incredible! Give it a shot, don't judge a book by its cover. The Chocoaltin with almonds is the way to go, the chocolate cookie is ok. read more

Oh geezzzzzz this was unbelievable. The barista really knew his business and educated me about what he had without any of that LA pretense that I'm used to. I got an apple fermented pour over that was perfectly done and a ham and cheese croissant that was as big as a sumo wrestler's fist. A perfect little spit to watch the world go by. read more

The cafe y chocolate made my morning. Everything is aroma filled and flavorful. Coming back tomorrow

Still my favorite small cafe in Roma Norte. My first visit to the city in 3 years and it's still open and better than ever. The bakery still kicks and now there are other great breakfast options. And they give real menus! No fucking QR codes! Any place that treats its customers like real human beings has a special place in my heart read more

Well, they do have amazing pastries (but very limited variety though), good coffee but I tried to order the chocolate and they had ran out of it, also they don't have any sweetners which was a little disappointing and they only have one size for all the beverages. On the ambience side the music was quite loud for my taste, and they only have one single restroom for m and w, so... it was not very clean! read more

I love this place! Highly recommend. I love coffee and saw this place on Drift Magazine for Mexico City. It definitely did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I started with a warm loaf of bread from the back area. That was the best decision and definitely one of the best breads I've had in a while. Then, we talked to the man pictured on Drift magazine while he made us our drinks. I got a latte, and my boyfriend got a pour-over. He was very nice, and our drinks were incredible. I definitely recommend this place if you need a pick-me-up! read more

If you're looking for a chill place to relax, grab a coffee, or a calm place to do work. This is a great option. Staff are very friendly (English-friendly as well!), music selection is good, and the drinks they have are very nice as well! Wifi is fairly strong to do basic web browsing, outlets are easy to find and plentiful. read more

This place has some of the best pastries I have ever eaten! This is a great cafe and a must try if you are in the area!

Superb food and coffee, service was great too. The pastries are some of the best I've had in a long time. I would say the kouign amann was perfect. read more

If you want Roma's best coffee and baked goods... you've found it. I've lived in the neighborhood for the past 2-3 years and go to this coffee shop almost daily - its THAT good. Local tip: they serve AMAZING wood fire pizzas on Friday/Saturday evenings. The baristas are incredible, the baked goods are unique and made daily, the ambience is hipster enough to be cool, but not obnoxious or assuming. COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE MORE!! read more

Outstanding pastries and great coffee. Croissants are some of the best I've had. Very friendly and proud staff also.

One of the best lattes I've ever had in my life -- and I'm a coffee snob and have worked in the coffee biz so I know what I'm talking about. And the croissants? They are equally good! They're made right there in the cozy cafe. I will be going back to this place every day that I'm in Mexico City. Bonus points for having a very nice, friendly owner, Rafael. He speaks fluent English and made me feel so welcome. read more

Great coffee shop with pastries or full breakfast. Friendly staff. They also had Oat milk which had been hard to find elsewhere.

Of all of the coffee places I've tried during my week in Mexico City, this is the best by a long shot. I got a speciality pour over and the avocado toast. read more

Best cup of coffee in Mexico City hands down! They've got delicious pastries as well. Love the intimate vibe and concrete architecture. Will definitely be back on my next visit to D.F. read more

This is one of those places that does everything well. If it's on their menu, you can count on it being really good. You can tell the owner puts an enormous amount of care into everything they sell. The employees are also very friendly. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more
