Cardinal Coffee House

Cafe Coffee shop

👍 Standard hipster coffee shop with a standard selection of coffee beans. The execution of the pour overs are great and the espresso is well balanced. It could get more love on the maintenance but it seems to work fine. If near by i would go back. Good for a short meeting but not for long days of work... People often mention coffee, good, Great, work, lugar, espresso, staff, great, nice, Condesa,

    It's Coffee. And it's good. You'll get the usual assortment of coffee here. The kicker is, it's roughly the equivalent of going to a cafe in Italy - The coffee is uniformly good, and the ambience is somewhat generic. That's ok though, the point here is that the coffee is exactly that good - when you want a coffee/espresso/whatever, come by, get one, enjoy, and leave. Or, OTOH, hang out. Up to you!

    I resurfaced everything. A dark and dirty cave--nothing like the other branch. The staff played on the phone instead of sweeping. I felt uncomfortable consuming my drink due to the lack of hygiene.

    Great start to the day if you are in the Condesa neighborhood. Fair trade and well-pulled shots, what else could one ask for when girding oneself for the day?!

    One of the few spots in the city operating La Marzocco espresso machine, so expect amazing coffee. You must taste their Flat White. Baristas are young and kind, I would say slightly unaware of the kind of machine they are using. Food choices are limited but tasty, very relaxed ambiance and authentic decor.

    We came here 4 separate times in our 2 day stay in Condesa—that’s how good this place is! We sampled some other local cafes, and while they were all good, none matched up to this place. We recommend the Cortado Cardinal and Latte Rex (Caramel)!

    My favorite place for an espresso in all of CDMX. Friendly staff, chill atmosphere, and a nice location in La Condesa. All that stuff is good, but most importantly the espresso here is phenomenal. Cortado, too. Put it on your MEXICO City Checklist.

    Coffee is very good as well as pastries. They have a small variety of sandwiches that are just average but decent for the place. It is a small shop that honestly needs maintenance because furniture looks old, walls need painting, etc although I wonder is that is on purpose since it's a hipster place in the middle of la condesa. However is worth tasting because coffee is really good and they offer variety of extractions, cold, hot, etc and service is good and friendly.

    Best coffee I’ve had in a long time, really nice atmosphere and great service!

  • 4/5 Sou M. 4 months ago on Google • 193 reviews
    This place is located in the more residential part so more quiet and secluded that other cafes in the area. Had a decent flat white and breakfast sandwich here. The brioche bun was super fresh and the sandwich tasted good. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I wish they had more seats. The interior looks outdated and they only have two flimsy table/ chairs outside. A bit attention to details especially for outdoor sitting will go a long way.

    One of my favorite cafés in CDMX. It is relaxed and great to work. I enjoy sitting outside here. The cold brew here is one of the best I ever had.

  • 5/5 James B. 2 months ago on Google • 100 reviews New
    Quiet little corner spot. The coffee was good according to my friend. My tea was a bit strong.

  • 5/5 ALFREDO NAVA F. 3 months ago on Google • 41 reviews New
    Great coffee, one of the best in the city without a doubt and the service was very good.

  • 5/5 Nicholle S. 2 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    This is the best espresso I’ve tried in the Condesa area. I ordered their cortado and have been dreaming of it ever since. It is high quality espresso and the temperature was perfect. I would recommend coming here at least once, if not every day. Great coffee!

  • 4/5 Alberto Pacheco P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice and good coffees. (Original) Bonito y buenos cafés.

  • 5/5 Brent B. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the only cafes in the area with outlets and fast wifi even when sitting outside.

  • 5/5 Mahesh H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good cafe with good baristas. Their cold brew is pretty good. I wouldn’t drool over their single origins but if you’re looking for lattes, cappuccinos etc you’re in good hands

  • 5/5 Ana P. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been coming here the past week. Their cinnamon pastry is my favorite. A cup of cappuccino and a pastry - count me in.

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 2 years ago on Google
    You will like it. Small and cool, great vibe.

  • 5/5 Crista M. 2 years ago on Google
    On a chilly morning, this coffe shop is warm and cozy feeling and they have the best cortado in Mexico City. Staff is always friendly and smiling.

  • 5/5 Alexander H. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to live around the block and went here almost every morning that I could. In my experience the cortado is one of the best in the world. The whole beans from Chiapas are also amazing. Just try not to get stuck behind one of the coffee tours that go by, they totally back up the baristas with huge orders.

  • 5/5 James A. 4 years ago on Google
    Coffee, done well!

  • 5/5 Sam & Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Great coffee (especially like the Voltaire). Amazing wifi. Friendly staff. Probably the best cafe that I found to work from in my two weeks in Condesa / Roma. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Arunav D. 4 years ago on Google
    The dessert was fantastic and so was the coffee.. Quiet cafe for reading and reflecting

  • 5/5 Erika V. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place! The coffee is fantastic and they have great pastries too (the cookies in particular are delicious). The staff is very kind — once I accidentally broke a glass and they were super sweet about it. It’s small but there are usually some tables available, I work here often.

  • 5/5 Maddie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Small coffee shop, their iced cappuccino was very good, and their cinnamon orange bun was amazing!

  • 5/5 Angel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little place with excellent coffee and croissants. Not in the most crowded area of la Condesa, but it can be quite busy at times. Great for working for a couple of hours.

  • 4/5 Navid F. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee and pastries are pretty expensive compared to CDMX, which is why I am taking one star off, but truly delicious roasts. They sell some of my favorite roasts. I wish there was a program for customers who are buying a lot of beans :)

  • 4/5 Nicole H. 2 years ago on Google
    Small and thus silent and cozy. The coffee was great tbh. Didn't have much interaction with the staff, but seemed ok. It's a pet friendly cafe, which is nice. Overall it's good, not really outstanding cafe compared to the zone, but a good option to give a try.

  • 5/5 Manoli G. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Fabulous coffee you can come for a week and try something different every day. Real croissants too!

  • 5/5 Asano76 1 year ago on Google
    This is a wonderful small coffee shop in the center of Mexico City. They have all kinds of coffee and cake. Great place!

  • 5/5 Alan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee, staff and bread. It's a small place but the coffee flavor (an baristas technique) is 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - it's been a long time since I enjoyed so much a cortado

  • 1/5 Chris 9 months ago on Google
    Staff is usually quite unfriendly - typical barista behavior that makes them seem like they're doing YOU a huge favor. Coffee is good, as are the pastries. Wifi strong to work from but seating/chairs/tables aren't setup well. The tables are always way unlevel and the staff never fixes them.

  • 4/5 Osvaldo L. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice place with a vintage atmosphere and tasty coffee. Try the different brewing methods according to your beverage. Interesting concept and a better option to avoid the franchise brands.

  • 1/5 Elizabeth Martínez R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This place is very abandoned by the owners, who have attending to some little bad guys who first prepare their own coffee before the customer they have standing there. They can't even give you a sleeve for your boiling coffee to go and they only offer you a servilletita as if it came out of your salary. I had to snatch two others when my husband burned his hand. To sue them! It's a shame because the coffee is good. I wish he was treated like his older brother on Cordoba Street. (Original) Este lugar está muy abandonado por los dueños, quienes tienen atendiendo a unas escuinclitas taradas que primero se preparan ellas su propio café antes que el del cliente al que tienen ahí parado. Ni siquiera te pueden dar una manga para tu café hirviendo para llevar y solamente te ofrecen una servilletita como si saliera de su salario. Les tuve que arrebatar otras dos cuando mi esposo se quemó la mano. ¡Para demandarlos! Es una pena porque el café es bueno. Ojalá lo atendieran como a su hermano mayor de la calle de Córdoba.

    (Translated by Google) Cardinal is a coffee house with a few food options. If you do not know about the extraction methods they have on the menu, you can ask the people who attend the place and choose your preferred one. I recommend the Cold Brew. They take place in the open air. (Original) Cardinal es una casa de café con algunas opciones de alimentos.
