The sourdough waffles are incredible, the chorizo chilaquiles are a must-try, and the fresh orange juice and coffee are excellent. What really stands out is the friendly, welcoming service--you can tell the staff genuinely care about every guest. The atmosphere is cozy, the prices are fair, and the quality is outstanding. If you're looking for an amazing breakfast away from the tourist crowds, I highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back!

You'd think the customer is always right in this instance but no not here. I got the chilaquiles but on the menu it didn't not say it had sour cream. I don't like sour cream when they brought it out and I told them the guy just said let me tell the chef if we can change it. Came back and said no that he would have to make a whole new one. What if I was allergic? I don't know stuff like that just left me super upset not only was I trying to take off the sour cream I was forced to eat it , cause what else? What I supposed to not eat? Or they wanted me to pay another dish. That to me wasn't great customer service whatsoever. WILL NOT BE BACK!!!

A very quaint spot near fifth Avenue. This was about a 10 min walk for us but very easy to find…read more We were greater immediately and sat. The establishment was busy but attention to guests was great. Ordered the waffle with side of sausage. The waffle was perfection. Very light and buttery. The whipped cream was not overly sweet and a perfect compliment. My partner had French toast with bacon. By the silence and how quickly it disappeared I'll say it was also good. The highlight to me was our server. I did not catch her name but her tattoos were beautiful! She was very attentive to us (and others around us). She switched seamlessly from Spanish to English, which was helpful for me. I had my translator out to help with my broken Spanish but it was not needed . Beautiful breakfast and the walk back afterward was rough since we were stuffed. It did help in digestion though We paired

The restaurant is clean and very modern. The ceiling is cute! They have egg cartons as their ceiling! I was surprised that I couldn't just got hot black coffee, so I ordered a latte, wasn't disappointed! They even designed a heart at the top! We shared an almond croissant and they gave out passionfruit yogurt with a crunchy topping - these two things were my favorite of the meal. We are even talking about going back tomorrow just to get these two things! We also shared the Luca sandwich - this was delicious!! The sandwich has ham, cream cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil, and topped with an egg. So delicious! There was a salad on the side that had some type of vinaigrette on it. The only complaint was that the vinaigrette was soaked up in the bottom piece of bread which made those bites a little busy when all in one bite. If I ever get a chance to order this again, I'd ask for the dressing on the side. We also got the chicken and waffles. This is the only thing we were disappointed with, not disappointed enough to mark the rest of the experience down though. The chicken was pretty good, but some bites were really salty. The waffle was so dry, even with adding the syrup, it didn't help with the waffle much. Overall, we loved this place! So glad we got to eat here! And the service was wonderful throughout the whole meal!

Must try: Cachapa Chévere!…read more Why: Delicious breakfast, which I tried the Cachapa for the first time! It came with black beans, plantains, cheese, avocado, and I added an egg. The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

25th anniversary vacation with Wife N, sunning our buns in Playa del Carmen for 7 days and nights…read moreof R&R. They brought an amuse bouche: sea scallop with mild curry. The curry was excellent, very mild but complex, and the scallop perfectly cooked. I just looked at Wife N and we both came to the same conclusion: if this is what the surprise bite can pull off, we're in for a great meal! We started with two appetizers: a fois gras and a seared Ahi. Fois gras and tuna both were well prepared and constructed. Tuna flawlessly seared, salad nicely dressed. Main course: filet, ordered rare, cooked rare to perfection. Holy moly, this was fantastic. Cardamom streak gave it just that little hint of something special and unique. The cod was, again, flawless. Mustard added the perfect level of acidity to the sauce and the fish was flaky, tender and juicy. The sauteed bell peppers and Harricots verts (green beans) complemented the fish nicely and made for a lovely splash of color on the plate. Look, this place is basically the resort's "house restaurant" on the Royal Service side and the meal was covered. But even if I'd had to pay for it, I still would have been happy with the meal. It was as flavorful and well-prepared as any $30 a plate upscale place stateside. House wines weren't bad at all. I'm no sommelier, but I kind of know what I like. The red was a Spanish Merlot, but really reminded me a lot of an Argentinean Malbec. Nice complexity and not too heavy. The white was another Spanish wine, a Sauvignon Blanc, but this one had a massive nose of raisin and red currant (very odd for a white); the flavor was very fruity but at the same time quite dry. For "house wines" we both felt they were winners. Dessert of poached pears with vanilla and raspberry and chocolate sauces with crumbled whipped cream. Nicely done. Simple ingredients done well. This is night #1 of our seven-night stay. If LA Palapa is even a remote indication of the food quality here, I'm already salivating over what tomorrow's meals will be offering.
