    One of the most interesting chais I've ever had. They make their ls with coffee shells. They let me smell and it has a sweet, fruity smell like the raw coffee berry. They also put black tea and other things. It was really good...almost like having a decaf coffee. One of the bad things about this spot is that it is so small.

    This wonderful and unassuming coffee shop became part of our daily routine during our week long stay in the area. Met a few interesting folks who helped us bridge the language gap. Coming from a city with many local roasters (Victoria BC), we were really pleased when a local recommendation to visit this place was right on target. Bought some coffee to enjoy back home and share with some of our barista friends.

    If you're local run away from here, if you visit the city this is a tourist trap. It may be that the coffee is good but the customer service is classist and it is very expensive to be in the neighborhood.

    Super cool little Cafe with the best latte I had in Mexico. The barista is wearing a suit and the service is super fast and friendly. It's just a very small Cafe, so you maybe have to sit outside. Highly recommend it if you are in the area.

    A very professional place; If not for somebody who likes coffee chains with a big name but lacking imagination and flavor; it’s a very small place with a big heart for coffee; very interesting menu with capable baristas. Good selection of artesanal Mexican coffee beans.

    Super cute artisanal coffee shop that specializes in pour over using coffee beans from Mexico. The presentation is beautiful, your coffee is poured into glazed ceramics; and the ambience is lovely. I was there for an hour and only saw locals come in. They also offer small pastries, espresso type drinks, and a bag of beans to bring home. Prices are awesome.

    Cafe Avellaneda is home to some of the friendliest baristas I've had the pleasure of meeting in CDMX. Despite its small size, the cafe offers high-quality coffee and exceptional service thanks to its three friendly baristas. Although I'm not a coffee drinker, I tried their house chai with lactose-free milk. What makes their chai unique is the use of leftover coffee beans in the preparation, resulting in a flavor that is both intriguing and cozy. This approach sets it apart from other chais I've had. However, the real highlight of Cafe Avellaneda is its baristas. They are warm and hospitable and provide impeccable service, which elevates the entire experience. Additionally, each drink comes with a glass of water and a small wafer, which adds a thoughtful touch to your visit. Overall, Cafe Avellaneda is one of the most popular coffee spots in Mexico City, and it's easy to see why.

    A small coffee bar in space, but not in experience. Best coffee we had in our week CDMX (minimum 1 speciality coffee per day) - so that says it all 🤗. Service is impeccable, even when we sat outside on the curb. A must!

  • 5/5 Max M. 2 months ago on Google • 71 reviews New
    Amazing Flat White! I can highly recommend this place. In my opinion one of the best coffee experiences in CDMX. The place is very authentic and the staff super friendly & welcoming. You have to check it out!

  • 5/5 Meenal P. 2 months ago on Google • 65 reviews New
    Ohhh so good!! The baristas were amazing and very delicious! Got a latte, cappuccino, and a coffee with tonic! Food wise-got a brown sugar pastry and pistachio pastry! Will be back!

    While visiting CDMX I came to Coyoacan specifically to check out this cafe because I read online that they have the best coffee in the city using award-winning Jiribilla coffee beans. It was indeed one of the best flat whites I've ever had, so I bought a bag of coffee beans to take home to the US. I like that they provide information about from where they're sourced, who grows them and when they're roasted. The brownie I had was nice and I appreciate that they provide a glass of water with the coffee, which is the tradition in my home of Austria. The cafe is quite small but has a very energetic vibe. It seems to be a real focal point for coffee enthusiasts in CDMX.

    Small cafe in the side streets of Coyoacán Centro. Really nice atmosphere, delicious Flat White and friendly! The pistachio lemon cookie was a bit dry for my taste but I think that’s just the style of cookie ;)

    Wonderful coffee in a small spot consisting on a bar with some barstools and a bench. Friendly baristas, awesome natural process local beans, beautiful classic La Marzocco, great cortado.

  • 5/5 Jeroen Van C. 3 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    I heard a lot of praise about this coffee bar so I decided to go here. I have been 3 times in the past month. First of all because it is so good, but also because I was intrigued by the range of cold brews. The coffee bar is located near the center of Coyoacan , a very nice neighborhood in the city. The coffee bar is very small with barely room to sit. There are some bar stools and there is also a bench against the wall. With a bit of luck you can also sit outside on the sidewalk. That is it. But I like the place, it's cozy with a nice bar counter. And, worth mentioning, with a very good choice of music. But I came for the coffee and it is excellent. The presentation is perfect and neat, with a glass of water. What struck me, however, was the wide choice of cold drinks, with coffee as the main ingredient (cold brew cocktails, as it were). The menu of these cold brews changes every month. For example, last December there was a choice of a cocktail called 'cascara soda', which consists of a cold brew, kombucha, mandarine and mineral water. Or how about the 'Trago 2' which consists of cold brew, kefir de jamaica, ginger and orange. I thought they were all very tasty and excellent. Highly recommended to come here for this cold brews.

    Easily the best coffee shop in the city, hands down. Unique menu with interesting (and delicious) offerings in addition to the usual selections. We ordered the “Juanita” and a mocha, both were delicious and served with a little nibble (dried apple + biscotti, respectively). The barista was wonderful and friendly, prices were very reasonable, a gem!

  • 5/5 sean w. 1 year ago on Google
    They're artists, they know what they're doing. Incredible inventions coming out the place with gorgeous presentation. They have your flat white and anything you need. Very cool interior and styling in a tiny hole in the wall with gracious people serving you. All the coolness without attitude.

  • 5/5 Julien S. 1 year ago on Google
    I bought the “Joel Olivio” coffee beans to make espresso, based on the barista’s recommendation. One of the best espresso I ever made! It’s balanced and sweet.

  • 5/5 Emma M. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't recommend this cafe enough. It's apparent that they deeply care about how they serve and present coffee. It's a small space, but that makes the experience so much more special. I recommend going early in the morning and getting an espresso. I wish I lived in the area so I could stop by everyday, it's that amazing.

  • 5/5 Indira P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a flat white and cold brew. Can’t stop thinking about both. The cold brew tasted incredibly fruity with almost no acidity. Best cold brew I’ve had! Flat white was perfection. Definitely visit!

  • 5/5 Damian C. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a very little but amazing place where you can enjoy a delightful cup of coffee, they have different drinks but the best is filtered coffee which is from different places and varieties the barmen are knd and they know how to prepare a nice cup

  • 5/5 Monica R. 6 years ago on Google
    Little cozy coffee shop in Coyoacan. The staff is super friendly and efficient. Loved their coffee. The drinks are also very original and tasty. The pink pepper and cranberry cookies are very good too. A must for coffee in Mex City. Prices are good as well.

  • 5/5 Juan Pablo M. 5 years ago on Google
    Maybe one of the best places for coffee in Coyoacán. Really small place, but the service is good, coffee good and they also serve some pastries. Overall great sport to stop a d have a coffee while discovering Coyoacán.

  • 4/5 T D. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite coffee spot in Coyoacan. The coffee is excellent and the pastries are delicious. It’s a small space and they do have to keep some distance because of COVID so there is even less space to sit. I do find it a bit strange that when you order your coffee to go, they don’t give you a lid. Not an ideal place to get coffee to go while you walk around and explore. They also have burgers from another restaurant you can order. Those are pretty good as well. I’d say this coffee shop is very much in line with artisanal coffee shops I’ve been to. The baristas take their coffee pretty seriously though it depends on who the barista is. I have a favorite who knows I’ve been going there almost daily for the last 2 weeks and as soon as I walk in, he knows exactly what I want to order.

  • 5/5 Leonardo B. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn't think coffee could be mixed with such a variety of amazing flavours, but it really can! Had an Oat Punch and a Petunia, both really good - sit in and chill out whilst having a drink.

  • 5/5 Roy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a great visit. Lots of character, cold brews are well made and unique.

  • 4/5 Steve C. 2 years ago on Google
    Came because of a recommendation. There was one barista. Wasn’t friendly at all and over charged me, which I found out later after seeing the menu. He probably thought I was just a tourist. I even tipped him.

  • 4/5 Andrew S. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute coffee shop, not too bad cortado

  • 5/5 Alondra C. 1 year ago on Google
    Intimate and friendly, opens at 8am which is when we came. A personable and cozy cafe that prides itself in offering you the best and highest quality of Mexican coffee beans from a variety of regions like Chiapas, Veracruz, and Oaxaca. The pastries were also top notch, we enjoyed the carrot cake. I was glad the music was gentle and not too loud, allowing us to have a conversation. We will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Marko 2 years ago on Google
    Cool spot and great coffee. The guys are really putting in all of their efforts

  • 5/5 Gabriela A. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing, the coffee is the best I have tasted so far in Mex City. Cold drinks are heavenly. Pro tip: do not miss the drink of the day!!! Every drink is a piece of art...loved it...

  • 5/5 Eastern Mind F. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee here is a amazing! I ordered a double espresso and it is beyond amazing incredible all the positive words you can think of and the cold brew was to die for. I 100% recommend this place

  • 5/5 Yari Mateos C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee and also if you're adventurous, great "coffee cocktails" (no alcohol). Loved this place

  • 5/5 Ben K. 2 years ago on Google
    Apparently forgot to give a review here. One of my favorite coffee experiences in CDMX or anywhere, really. (Visited in 2018)

  • 5/5 Damon S. 1 year ago on Google
    Anyone who would rate this place less than 5 stars must be a tea drinker. This is the only real cup of coffee to be found in Mexico. Further, the staff is warm, welcoming, and they take pride in what they do.

  • 5/5 sarah j. 1 year ago on Google
    Coffee heaven. These guys are artists and truly reveled in their craft. We came back twice in one day while we were in the area. Got pour over, cappuccino, and the horchata cold brew. Everything was great 👌🏻
