The place has mainly outside seating, and we were fortunately able to get a table without waiting. I ordered a cafe americano and water, while the girlfriend ordered some juice. After perusing the menu, I opted for enchiladas in red sauce. The girlfriend got scrambled eggs. The enchiladas came in a small bowl, dipped in red sauce, with avocado, bacon, and topped with salsa and sour cream. The enchiladas were not as tasty as I hoped, they were rather bland. The coffee was ok, but not too potent. The ambiance is relaxed. Mainly Polanco locals come here, no bad vibes. The customer service was ok. They just need to add more taste to their food, and they will do better.

Also the enfrijoladas (like enchiladas covered in a black bean purée sauce). Everything was amazing! We also tried many bakery items from the beautiful display and our favorite was the guava and cheese croissant. Have you ever had the refugiado (guava and cheese strudel) from Porto's in Los Angeles? Yeah, it's like that but next level. Great coffee drinks and lattes too. Truly a fantastic spot!

Heard good things about this churro chain in Mexico City. My friend wanted to get churros here so I…read moreagreed. The churros on their own were perfect! However the dipping sauces left a bit to be desired. They were not fresh unfortunately but came in little packages. They were kind of thick and hard to "dip". We had to kind of scoop the sauce with the churro. It was easier to just dunk the churro in the hot chocolate we got. However the hot chocolate was very sweet and then became even more so with the sugar from the churros. The service was very friendly and the place was cute!

In the past few years, they've expanded to the US in two locations in Southern California. I wanted to see if it was any different in Mexico. The answer is a resounding yes. They're hot and crispy, while maintaining a fluffy center that you just can't find easily in the US. Their dips are pre packaged here. I like cajeta and condensed milk, but chocolate is also a top seller. My wife got an ice cream churro sandwich with mango ice cream. She loved it. The ice cream was creamy and the churros hot. We don't remember ordering this at home, but she really liked it. Most likely I'll be coming back before I go home.

You're allowed to try as many samples as you'd like and there are a variety of flavors, conducive to gelato lovers and those who are vegan too. The prices/sizes are affordable as well. There's a few seating options indoors, but the majority of people just pick-up and walk around with their dessert. I would definitely recommend coming here for a post-dinner sweet treat.

It's one of those rare places that get really hyped up and turn out to actually be worth the hype. We stopped in here on three different occasions during our Mexico City trip, and despite how viral it is there was never a line. The staff was very friendly, prices very reasonable, and order always came out super quick. My favorite things were the rol de guayaba, cafe de olla, and the puerquito de piloncillo. The guava pastry and puerquito were very fresh, soft and not crummy at all. The guava pastry was specifically memorable as it had the most delicious creamy filling in it that tasted like real guava and not overly sweet. The cafe de olla was addicting with the spices being perfectly balanced. It sets the standard for cafe de olla... it's not clear if I'll ever get one as good as the one they make here. This is a must stop during any visit to Mexico City.
