Some fantastic stuff. A bag of roasted beans from the factory is something people usually have to shell crush and sugar to make it palatable. These were so good I was usually popping them straight and sometimes not even shelling them. The bitterness and lightness of the bean is amazing. For those of you that like darker chocolate with smooth bitterness, seek this out.

The Merida store is beautiful, housed within a 1903 townhouse. The location has an onsite residency, spa, and cafe, in addition to the perfumery shop! I smelled several of the perfumes from their Mexican collection/line and picked one to take home that I loved, but they offer more than just perfumes - handmade honeys, marmalades, chocolates, home goods, decor, and more! I left with my perfume, a couple of marmalades, and a pink peppercorn honey! The service is wonderful - friendly, patient (I tried just about every perfume from that line), and helpful! Overall, just a wonderful and unique boutique shopping experience in Merida!

Upon entering, I felt as though I had entered a dream... I scheduled a deep tissue massage which was heavenly... The approach from the first floor to the massage room felt like a mysterious walk to an upper tower... Before my massage I was treated with a set of cucumber, cream cheese, rose, & lemongrass tea sandwiches as well as tea which was included in my massage. The masseuse was excellent. Great memorable experience. The young lady at front desk from Los Angeles was super friendly and welcoming.

Since we were already heading that way, we took a slight detour to see if there might be an elusive parking spot on Calle 51. It wasn't looking too promising, but we lucked out and found a spot on the next block. When we entered the restaurant, we got the last available table. For those who don't know, the Centro location is small, with five small tables and a few seats at the counter. We ordered coffee. The menu is the same as the other location, so I went with my favorite: the omelette en costra, an omelette with cheese baked on the outside to make a nice crust, served with bacon, half an avocado, and their delicious sourdough toast. My wife chose the grilled cheese, which she said was divine. The coffee was also delicious. Service was very good overall, although our waiter never brought my wife water after she asked for a glass. It wasn't an inexpensive breakfast, but I think the prices were reasonable considering the quality. Our two dishes and two coffee drinks came to $550 MXN before tip. My wife said the bathrooms were nice and clean.
