Jamaica lemonade in the back and passion fruit lemonade in the front

Justine D.

Lovely late dinner/ snacking. We had the pork belly (so tender), broccoli (could have been a little more "burnt" and more flavor), spring rolls (this was my favorite of the three). Small rooftop with limited seating. There was no wait at 8 pm on a Thursday. I loved the passionfruit lemonade. Says that there is a happy hour every day from 3-6 and all day on Sunday. Looking at our neighbors food, the main dishes portions looked very small for U.S. standards.

Wow! This place is amazing And if I come back to San Miguel, I'm definitely coming back here! There was not a wait when we got there despite their limited seating. I will give them credit for their unique design of a three story small space. The food was absolutely delicious as well as the drinks. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place! Beautiful view from the third floor!

We came here for dinner on our second day in SMA since they have some vegan options. We ordered the vegan Vietnamese Fresh Rolls (3), Shiitake Miso Ramen, and the Sambal Kacang Cauliflowwer plate, Sunset Sour, and Jamaica lemonade. The fresh rolls had a bit a of a kick, like maybe they contained ginger (in the Vietnamese sauce it came with), which I personally did not care for, but my husband did like them. I thought the Sambal plate was delicious, considering curry can be hit or miss with me, but this one definitely was to my liking; I'm not the biggest curry person, unless it has some coconut milk in it; but I think the creaminess came from the peanut sauce, which was good; the plate also came with white rice. My husband primarily ate the Ramen and reported that it was good. We ate on their small rooftop area, which was quaint and cute. The service was quick, attentive, and helpful. Overall, I would come back.

I can't get over how good the food is here in San Miguel. The ham and cheese sandwich is unlike any you'll ever have. My friend had the Vietnamese salad which was incites. And I had the tostones which were tasty. All the portions all large. Great food and great value. Great service and ambience! We sat on the rooftop patio overlooking the cobblestone streets.

Great food, great service, and great views. We took a seat up on the roof top and we had a nice view of one of the churches. Our server was attentive, friendly, and she brought us water as soon as we sat down. We ordered two sandwiches, two Margaritas, and one french toast entrée to share. El Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Mesquite smoked pulled pork with homemade BBQ sauce & a mix of cheeses. A side salad with homemade pickles, cherry tomatoes, toasted seeds on top & a side of horseradish mayo El Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Black pepper crusted chicken with bell peppers, caramelized onions & mix of cheeses. A side salad with homemade pickles, cherry tomatoes, toasted seeds & a side of horseradish mayo Inside French Toast (SWEET): Soaked in a vanilla sauce and served with a mango compote, berries, Greek yogurt & a drizzle of homemade Jamaica syrup. Sprinkled with almonds & Amarant. The sandwiches were both really good and were both loaded with the goods. They were both very flavorful and the protein sizes were great. The side salads were very fresh and the dressing was great. Our favorite dish was the french toast and it was enough for the both of us to share as a dessert. It was topped off with fresh fruits and the inside of the french toast itself was fluffy and warm. The view was great from atop and we had a good lunch. It is small though as there are only a few tables in this area. I would come back again if in the area!

Iced Peanut Butter Latte complete w/ coffee beans

Christina T.

5 all the way for food service and ambiance! My absolute favourite restaurant in San Miguel de Allende. Never a disappointing mouthful You have got to try their different menus and Happy Hour is daily 3-6 pm. Open at 8:30 am, Monday through Friday, my Iced Peanut butter Latte was sensational. The Sexy Breakfast, French Toast (Gluten free) is awesomeness in each bite. I had the divine Ensalada Vietnamita (GF)! XamXam/Inside Cafe is my absolute favourite restaurant in all of San Mivuel.

Lovely spot for brunch! We came here for late lunch around 2pm and the cafe was pretty empty by then. For food we got the birria grilled cheese special along with the sexy Mexican breakfast. The birria grilled cheese was rich and super comfortably, especially dipped into the consume they serve on the side. It's definitely on the heavier side but a nice treat. The Mexican breakfast was a nice light brunch dish with 2 sausage links on top of beans, avocado, salsa and herbs. We also got the hibiscus lemonade to try which was good as well. The flavor was a bit syrupy but nice when mixed a few times. Overall the ambiance on the rooftop and food makes this a solid choice for a casual lunch. We enjoyed it here.

Happened upon this spot after going to the market which is close by. We were directed to the top of restaurant with views. The waiter was very helpful in explaining the various dishes and efficient. I had the Eggy Bagel which had a couple of eggs, grilled cherry tomatoes and greens with dressing and seeds. Really good and reasonable. My husband had eggs with an assortment of grilled vegetables, also excellent. Highly recommend

Shirley C.

Extremely great brunch. It was a culinary experience. The service was very good. We had an egg plate (on a grill plate with plenty of nicely grilled vegetables), French toast, and mole tacos. All were very good with very fresh ingredients. One of the best restaurants here.

Alex Z.

Best in town for breakfast and brunch. Two stories of rooftop seating with view of the city. There are a lot of gluten free options in the menu and also vegetarian options: they have special drinks and dishes. I had Oat-chata cold brew. It's a gluten free option using oak instead of rice and mix with other spices, taste really good and different. Tried two different breakfast dishes they are both amazing. The savory French toast is very different, must try. And all dishes come avocado and greens very balanced of nutrition. They also have espresso martini as well for breakfast if you want to have a kick start of the day, just ask they can make it and very cheap

Ried S.

Amazing breakfast spot in San Miguel de Allende. We came here both mornings just to try different things, including - and I am not ashamed - an Espresso Martini at 930am. Delicious! Food was amazing - the first day i had the Sexy Mexican Breakfast which was similar to Huevos Rancheros - very yummy, though I wouldn't call it sexy per se. The next day I had their famous pulled pork and cheese sandwich (more of a brunch item) which was finger licking good. I could have ordered another one had I not been expecting to have lunch a few hours later. When you come, be sure to go all the way to the rooftop for the best seats. There is open air seating on the second floor as well, but rooftop is where its at. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Miguel.

Gene L.

We had lunch here on the rooftop and loved the view of the church. We really enjoyed the avocado toast with spinach and mushrooms, plus the tumeric lemonade and ginger lemonade were so good. The food, service, views, and price were outstanding. The entrance is easily missed. It is right near the Plaza Civica.

Great brunch spot in San Miguel! I love the location, Super close to all the shopping. This spot is so cute I loved all the positive vibes the atmosphere gives off! I had the grilled cheese with bacon and papitos! Such a taster meal! The iced Americano came with a rosemary garnish and I loved the presentation! Then we were in the mood for a sweet treat and we had the cinnamon roll with pistachio and cardamon. This was the perfect bakery to split with someone else. It was just the right amount of sweet! read more

If you like the idea of a dry broccoli and cauliflower sandwich, then this is your place. I ordered a hummus sandwich , with pickled vegetables and a salad. This came as I was getting up to go, as the wait was over 30 minutes. I asked if the order was correct, the waiter confirmed it. There was maybe a teaspoon of hummus on it. I asked for something to add do it such as more hummus, so I could eat it. He said, " it's what you ordered, enjoy". Rude attention and jarring music on top of that. read more

I found it...the best grilled cheese on the planet! You can't even imagine how good this sandwich is. It's filled with lots of ooey gooey cheese, grilled onions, pulled pork, and I don't even know what other deliciousness. I'm just gonna stop here and run to get another one. NOTE: grilled cheese is only available until 3pm. The ginger limonada was great. Not too sweet (as I find most sugary beverages extra sweet in Mexico), just a nice light lemony flavor. Also went here last night and had the brisket ramen. Sooooooooo good. The brisket fell apart when I touched it with a chopstick. The broth was tasty and it had just a bit of spice. This place is cool. Two levels of rooftop/patio dining. The music and atmosphere is great. The staff is cool and service is good. read more

My wife and I experienced our first food poisoning experience here after traveling for 5 weeks in Mexico. We were incapacitated for 2 days. We had the vietnamese rolls, the 4 curry sampler for two, and 2 margaritas. One of the curries was oversalted, possibly to hide an off-taste, but I am just speculating about that. The service was excellent and the food very tasty, except for that one over-salted curry. The food was served barely warm, which also detracted from the overall experience. Our only other food that day was a breakfast we ate several hours prior to dining here. We started feeling the effects of the spoiled food soon after leaving the restaurant, we had a very uncomfortable evening (I will spare you the details). Spent the entire next day recovering in bed. This restaurant was recommended by a local expat, and we acknowledge the many favorable reviews. We realize that this may have been a very rare outcome to dining here, but felt it necessary to report our experience. We are certain that our sickness was due to dining here, and repeat that we have been fine eating in restaurants in Mexico over the past 5 weeks. read more

This is a popular place with expats, especially with vegetarians. I liked their food, it is not all vegetarian. It is very well presented, the servers I had all knew English quite well. They have a reputation for the best grilled cheese sandwich in San Miguel. I was avoiding heavy carbs so I did not eat this but I have heard this from many others who eat there regularly. There is a steep stair to get up to their first floor, then for the terrace there is another set of steep stairs. I think it totals about 3 flights of stairs. But the terrace is totally worth it. And the food is very creative, delicious and artfully presented. read more

3 stars for food and casual ambiance. i enjoyed my meal and the sauces. wouldn't say it was the best grilled cheese in the world because it was honestly more like a veggie panini with cheese, but it was tasty! the service was questionable. our first waiter was rude and ended up trading off with another who was super friendly. the spot itself had cute indoor and outdoor seating and even though i didn't try any, their drinks looked good. i took off an extra star because my husband saw the person charging my card take a photo of it with their phone from afar. i didn't believe him until the next day i got a fraud alert for $3,000 charge to Apple. so, maybe pay with cash if you can? read more

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.

I have gotten my coffee and pastries and hung-out hassle free for at least an hour the last few days. I have been staying at my friend's hacienda literally across the street so this place was incredibly convenient. Today at around 935, I came in to get my coffee and banana bread, and was also hoping to sit down and read the news. I only had a few more hours left before heading to the airport to fly back home to Chicago and was determined to enjoy every last minute I can squeeze in before flying back to reality. So imagine my disbelief when I placed my order and I was told I can only get it to go and that I was not allowed to stay because they are closed for maintenance. I told the server/cashier well how come everyone is still here enjoying their drink/food/gossip, and I was being told to leave? I even pointed out that he had just set two beautiful lattes down at the table of these two ladies who were just settling in to their table (the same one I had actually wanted to sit at.) The server insisted everyone was done. And that I have to leave. I checked their hours on help and it said they're open until 6pm. I didn't want to make a scene so I left but I told my host about it. He's friends with the owner and he was shocked at the way I was treated. For the record, I was the only non-white person inside the cafe. So, never again. And to future customers, go at your own risk. Unless you're white. Then you can move in.

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.

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.

Not the same benefit as in USA. According to a sign you had to order a coffee for the day. And you would get that same coffee as a refill. Hmm. Anyway, they didn't refill the tea but gave a me a free ice coffee refill. They didn't have to accommodate overall good service and a great place to get air conditioning and out of the June CALIENTE weather! I'm a FaN!

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. For food, he got the chilaquiles divorciados (half red sauce, half green sauce) and I got the huevos albanil (eggs on a tortilla with a tomato salsa on top). 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. We also enjoyed checking out the attached art gallery after we finished eating.

I recently visited this gem with a group of 8, and we were all blown away by the incredible dining experience! Every dish we ordered was nothing short of awesome, truly showcasing the chef's talent and the restaurant's commitment to quality. But what really took our experience over the top were the drinks - each one was even better than the last, perfectly crafted and delightfully refreshing. Can't recommend this place enough for both the food and the beverages. A must-visit spot! read more

This hidden gem in San Miguel turned out to be one of my favorite spots. It's tucked away, so you might miss it if you're not actively seeking it out, but it exceeded our expectations. Although the place is small with limited seating, the food was outstanding, generously portioned, and incredibly flavorful. We opted for the rooftop seating, which offered a picturesque view of the city. It was a delightful experience all around. read more

Probably the best coffee in town, these guys really take care of it ! If you are after a European style coffee full of body and flavour you found your place. As an added treat the bagels are baked fresh in San Miguel and prepared on the spot. The ambience is Mexican chic, intimate and well lit in general great space to escape the hustle and bustle of the centre. read more
