Um... YUM.

There was a small line, and after ordering it did take a bit to get our food, but that was totally fine. Perfection takes time! The ambiance is very casual and geared toward a quick stop. There's plenty of seating for an easy in-and-out, but it's not really a place meant to linger. It's more of an open-concept setup-covered, but still open to the outside air. We ordered the mini ice cream churro sandwiches (can't remember the exact name): two vanilla and one Fresca, which was basically strawberry. Maybe it was because we were hungry, but wow- they smacked. The vanilla paired with the churro was especially incredible. Since I felt like I still hadn't gotten the full churro experience I was craving in CDMX, I hopped back in line and ordered the classic churro. Let me tell you... this thing was HUGE. Basically three churros in one. It came out warm, perfectly crisp, and coated in the best cinnamon topping. You're asked if you want sugar or cinnamon sugar, and with a bit of a language barrier (they don't speak much English), I just said yes and ended up with half cinnamon, half sugar. No complaints here! The cashier and staff were all super friendly and smiley, which made the experience even better despite the communication gap. Overall, such a delicious stop and 100% worth it.

This review is for both the cafe and chocolate shop. The…read moreshop is using high end chocolate such as Valrhona and Republica de Cacao and the prices reflect it. The bonbons are outstanding. The outer shells are whisper thin, reflecting true skill on the part of those casting the chocolate. The fruit fillings are bright and sharp and in the multi-flavored fillings the individual flavors meld harmoniously but are each distinctly recognizable. Highly recommended. The cafe is small with both indoor and outdoor seating. Situated on a quiet, leafy corner of Avenida Amsterdam it's a wonderful place to start the with coffee or an indulgent mocha and pastry. I wish they offered their cakes by the slice as I've never been a big fan of laminated pastry but stuff anything with gianduja and it's bound to rock. N.B. The danish is actually a cruffin made from croissant dough but it's buttery and well laminated and unless you're a weird chocolate hater you'll be happy.

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".

I'd say that if you have a sweet tooth, this is perfect combo of creamy and sweet with some crunchiness thanks for the pistachios. I did get a single piece of stale pistachio but otherwise it was yummy! The cone was too sweet though towards the end even for me :P Price wise, this is on the pricier side but this is located in a more expensive area. For $65, you can get a whole pint and a half down the street at the Farmacia but this is well worth it. They're very efficient with one person scooping and one person taking your money / credit card.

It's a relaxing environment perfect to unwind after a day of, say, walking and exploring the nearby Bosque de Chapultepec. Although many reviews here on a number of years old, they are very current in terms of the quality of the dining experience. I'm even surprised they don't have more reviews here, but IYKYK. Certainly the other diners would found their way here were tipped off somehow, because we overheard and met mostly Americans here -- though some locals, too. The drinks are great, and I'd recommend the Mezcalina Mango. It's tangy, a bit sweet and a bit strong which combined for a refreshing welcome. We also ordered a Sangria, I think, which won approval, too. The menu was via QR code, so I may be occasionally mistaken. However, our appetizer was definitely (I think) the chalupas. Three of each (chicken and pork), all in a verde sauce. I believe we had the chalupas de casa, as they came with the queso cotija. Regardless, very good and whet our ravenous appetites. That said, with the entrees and desserts that followed, I allllmost wish that we had saved room. Ah well. One of Angelopolitano's most famous dishes, Chile en nogada, is a total winner. Outstanding, hearty flavors bursting on top of each other. A few other tables ordered it, too, I saw. One lady who had an issue with everything she ordered (starting with her wine and its color) complained about the Chile en nogada. She was surprised by it, somehow. I was embarrassed and kind of surprised that she went off on the staff about it. Everyone else in the restaurant seemed to be loving it. Another signature entree we loved into was the Mole champandungo. Heavenly, and just enough smokiness to it to keep your tastebuds hopping. Between these two entrees, we certainly didn't need the appetizer --- or the desserts, but onward we pressed! Tequila Flan and Mexican Tiramisu. I found both of these good. I did really like the Flan, but thought the Tequila was overkill. (There is a Coco version, which I'd try instead next time). The Mexican Tiramisu was reminiscent of the famous Italian dessert, sort of. Good sweet and coffee flavors swirling about in a slightly gooey, mini casserole pot. Overall, I am a big fan of Angelopolitano. Thrilled we found it, thought service was very good, loved the food, and the comfy, esthetically pleasing interior. Would love to keep exploring their menu -- there is so much here!
