Muss Cafe is a coffee shop located on the first floor of the Casa Antonieta hotel in the city center of Oaxaca. This is not as well-known as other popular cafe spots in the area so it's not as busy and there is seating inside. We ordered the shakshuka ($125) and baguette jamon serrano y mozarella ($195). The shakshuka base was more of a soup than a sauce and its flavor was decent. We asked for the sandwich without olives but it still had some in there but it was fine. For drinks the flat white ($65) and americano ($45) were okay. It's more peaceful and not as busy if that's the vibe you're looking for. If you want another place to relax you can head through the door at the back of the cafe to the lobby of the hotel. If you're staying at the hotel this cafe is very convenient to get pastries or coffee. read more

I didn't realize there's outdoor seating. There's this hidden door ( well hidden to me because I couldn't see it. It's a tad bit romantic in there with low lit lighting.) it's really beautiful I tried to sit out there but was not allowed. It is for guest to the hotel. I had no idea it was part of a hotel. Gorgeous building. That hidden door makes sense. Mostly tourist, a few pretentious folk making me smile. I feel like if I don't look up I could be back at home in echo park. There is a local getting some work done on his laptop next to me. Small place, you could sit at the bar , there's 5 wooden stools. Now to the coffee. I had a single cappuccino with oatmilk. Strong and delicious coffee. It makes me not want to try other coffee shops but I must compare! You'll find goat milk yogurt here and chia pudding which I need before I venture off to my temazcal. Good coffee and grateful for light breakfast items items that are good for my sensitive gut. I asked and the coffee beans are legit from Oaxaca roasted from a place called San Juan cacahuatepec. read more

Great coffee, great service! I had a latte and a croissant. How is it that Mexican croissants are possibly BETTER than the ones in France? Maybe I'm biased because I love Mexico so much. Muss Cafe is a gem. read more

This is a neat hipster type of cafe right in the middle of downtown Oaxaca. I came here as I was walking around waiting for my bus to leave at 11pm. The cafe is original and designed very nicely with oak floors and tables. The bench seat was comfortable, and I needed it after walking around for hours. They had limited pastry options basically chocolate fudge brownies and banana cake. The panqué de plátano for sure had fewer calories, and I also ordered a large cappuccino to go with it. The prices here were pretty much in line with other places in Mexico City. The Server told me that they do have WiFi however I didn't see any outlets to plug in my laptop. Yes my battery has become shot. I think this is a great cafe for the traveler who doesn't plan on staying too long. The employee who helped me was awesome as well. read more

Didn't take a picture of my green detox and baguette Serrano ham and mozzarella because I was in a rush but they both were delicious. I asked for a spicy sauce and they gave me a matcha peanut spicy sauce (so good). Loved the space and wished I had brought my laptop to work from there. The staff was super friendly! read more

La comida estaba súper sabrosa y todo es muy estético. Nuestra mesera, Mar, es genial; nos ayudó sin problema e incluso nos recomendó platos deliciosos. ¡Volveré! Lo único que diría es que el techo es transparente, así que tengan cuidado si llueve o hace mucho sol. The food was super delish! And everything is so aesthetic. our server Mar is real great, she helped out our group with no issue and even recommended delicious plates. I will be returning! the only thing I would say is there is an open ceiling so be minful if it rains or is really sunny. read more

Nice spot for coffee and breakfast. I had the chia pudding which was beautiful and very filling, and a regular latte, and my bf had the pan Frances ( french toast) and Respiratirio tea (I messed that up), which was really good Anna reminiscent of a medicine ball to aid your cold/flu symptoms. Food was tasty and very healthy feeling and the latte and tea were just as expected. Service was good, some English is spoken if your Spanish is limited. The little shop is cute but the patio is beautiful. Unfortunately you don't get access to that unless you're a guest of the hotel, at least that was add our experience. Also, for every spot we went you have to ask for the check or pay at the counter. They don't bring the check to you. read more

My friend, who is an expert at finding cute coffee shops, found Cafe Muss. We came here twice on our trip. This little coffee shop has a beautiful rooftop oasis. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. I enjoyed the mocha on both trip and it feels like there's authentic chocolate. It offers a nice little punch. The fruit bowl is decent and the breakfast sandwich is good. I definitely recommend coming here to check out the roof top spot. read more

5 Star Deliciousness, it was the perfect stop to relax after flying all night & we stopped here on way before flying heading back home to Los Angeles.

This is my fourth time coming to Muss. I love coming here becuase the service is great, it's a cute spot to have some drinks with friends, and the food is yummy. I love going to sit on the third floor terrace. I am giving it 4 stars becuase on my recent visit one of my favorite drinks did not have the same taste. Every time I ordered it it tasted different. But other than that if you are visiting Oaxaca or need a cute spot to hang I would recommend Muss. read more

What a find... Perfect coffee, ambience and in house baked goods along with mezcal's wines, liquors. The vibe here is pretty chill & relaxing.

Really nice spot with a great ambiance! They have lots of seating here (inside, outside, and upstairs - although unfortunately when I was there the patio was closed), as well as decent wifi if you need to get work done. Most of the staff here speak English, and they accept card as well! They have pastries, as well as small cafe bites. I got an iced mocha latte which was very good! read more

Rave reviews, so tried one morning for breakfast. Not impressed, service was sporadic the food was not what I expected. Pancake too doughy and my omelet was dry with cubed bacon (I think), wud have been better sticking to Mexican breakfast. I think these restaurants shud stick to what they know best. Most travelers enjoy good local food rather than imitation of other foods. I don't go to Mexico to eat hamburgers? read more

I journey from Los Angeles to Long Beach just for their matcha latte. Nobody does it better, and the staff at the counter are super cool.

Our initial plan was to pop in to Muss Cafe to grab a quick to-go coffee, but "pop in", we did not. Once we discovered the hidden oasis upstairs, we were so enchanted that we couldn't leave without sitting down for a cup of coffee. It was such a darling place that we came back two days in a row. Positive notes: + Loved the ambiance and the lush greenery. The loveliest way to start the morning! + The staff is gracious, patient, and helpful + Food is fresh + Small boutique at the register with cute tchotchkes Areas for improvement: - Although the food is fresh, I wouldn't call it delicious. I had a fruit bowl with coconut yogurt on the first day that just didn't hit the spot. The breakfast sandwich I had in the 2nd day was a better choice. - Their coffee had great presentation, but it was not very strong. We found that we had to get multiple cups to satiate our caffeine needs. Bottom line is that this is a cute cafe to start off your day in the right direction. Come for the vibes, but be warned about the coffee! read more

Muss Café - Cappacuino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oaxaca, OAX

I really wanted to love this place. The place is really pretty with all its greenery and decor. Pros: Beautiful interior and exterior One staff member was really sweet and offered us bee repellent which seemed to work ...for a minute Cons: My drink was lukewarm almost cold and definitely not hot. Food was bland. Nothing special or ordinary. I asked for everything on the side for one order but everything came mixed together. The bees in the terrace made it nearly impossible to enjoy a meal or even our drinks. We were completely swarmed with bees and the occasional flies. One staff member was really dry and almost seemed annoyed that I asked for plain milk Sad to say I wouldn't come back here. read more

Unfortunately we were discriminated because of the color of our skin. First we were told they only have English menus which they didn't tell anyone else. When we asked for a cloth napkin for our legs, due to wearing white they told us they didn't have any and handed us paper napkins they use for the restroom, which were flying around with the wind. Right after they handed some to the table before and after us. It was uncomfortable and unfortunate to feel out of place when visiting a new spot. The food and coffee were great. Too bad the quality of service was not equal. read more

Great food and coffee. If you're in Oaxaca, this is a good place to stop for breakfast or a coffee.

This is a fabulous little cafe that has no only amazing coffee drinks but also great food. During my stay, I came here about 3 times and tried various dishes off their menu -- açaí bowls, fresh juices, coffees, pastries and everything was super fresh and tasty. Prices were also super reasonable for such an aesthetic, popular place. Seating is very limited as it is a tiny spot so expect to wait. Not the best place to just grab and go but if you have some time worth coming to visit! read more

Muss Cafe has a pretty good thing going. It's in a beautiful space with a cool, outdoor courtyard, plus a gorgeous but hot patio upstairs (which is connected to Muss Cafe but maybe technically has a different name and menu?). The food skews "gentrified traveler" with chia and cocoa nibs gracing anything and everything. It's all pretty good, but I'd say it's mostly about the serenity, scene, and easy accessibility than the food itself. read more

Muss Cafe is a coffeeshop/cafe next to the main entrance of Casa Antonieta, where we just spent six nights on a visit to Oaxaca. (A lot of the pictures posted to this business are actually of Ama Terraza, which is the terrace bar/restaurant on the third floor of Casa Antonieta). We stopped by a few times for an afternoon espresso. The cafe is gorgeous, the coffee is great, and the service is great. (It isn't just a coffeeshop, it also has drinks, wine, pastries, and breakfast.) It's definitely a great stop if you're looking for a coffee or a drink in the area! read more

We had breakfast at Muss Cafe and it was very good and the coffee was great. Our server was very attentive.

Hit and miss tho. We went there they said it's a 30 minute wait and no one was up there. You can see the empty patio. Then we realized the kitchen isn't open so that's what was not communicated. There is a young male server that's great but the second time we came it was a female server there is no attention to detail like bringing soup without a spoon. We asked for salt and pepper and they never brought it and we had to go get it. Customer service and communication needs to be better. read more

This is a cozy, quaint cafe on a quiet street in downtown Oaxaca, but away from the historic center (zocalo). A great place to unwind and read a book and sip on delicious coffee. They offer Chemex (pour over), which I am not usually a fan of, but this was delicious. They offer a small selection of pastries, which I am guessing are not made on site. The service was friendly and offered local tips. Muss = No fuss. read more

Such a cozy relaxing spot to grab breakfast. Highly recommend getting the green detox juice! It will blow you away. Got the eggs and toast and nothing better than good quality basics to start the day. Also got the breakfast sandwich which is pretty hearty if you are hungry. Staff was super friendly. It's small so there is limited seating. There menu has classic coffee options and a few milk options. Coffee was okay, nothing to rave about there. They have breakfast and lunch options including toasts, sandwiches, and salads. The grilled cheese is perfection!!! read more
