    I had a burger at this cafe and it was a terrible juan 😂 in all honestly it is a tourist trap, digital nomads love this place but I believe that there are many other cafes that in my opinion are better, in terms of quality of food and price. Alot of time you have to line up to get table and then the staff aren’t very friendly and flexible. I give this restaurant 3 stars because it has decent wifi and you can sit there for a while if you can get past the fact that the staff will keep asking if you want something else every hour. The food is mediocre

    I had the Huevos al Horno and between the 4 cheese, bacon and the rich flavour of the egg it was a perfect combination. Fantastic espresso coffee flavour. The green juice had a nice full flavour without being overpowering.

    Incredible food and coffee! I had the chemex honey coffee and chilaquiles breakfast. Both were amazing. My wife had the mazapan latte and the terrible bacon cheese sandwich, which was soooo good I wished I had ordered it! I also had a whole milk latte. It was perfect. Will definitely be back again!

    Upon my arrival at this establishment, my expectations were high, fueled by the buzz surrounding it. Regrettably, the experience fell short of its lofty reputation. The portions served were disproportionately heavy, considering the simplicity of the dishes offered. Regrettably, there was no trace of culinary comfort to be found in the fare presented before me. Furthermore, the coffee, a quintessential component of any worthwhile dining experience, remained lackluster, failing to deliver on its promise. Given these underwhelming factors, it is with a heavy heart that I declare my decision to refrain from returning to this establishment in the future.

    Best cappuccino in Guadalajara. The juamilton was a bit too sweet and strong for my liking. Salmon toast with sauces was great! Excellent Roast beef sandwich excellent 👌 I enjoyed the salad with vinaigrette dressing. I did not like the crazy bacon burger thingy, but my partner loved it. Difference in opinion.

    All the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked amazing and it was a difficult decision to make. Settled for the Terrible Bacon Cheese Sandwich and it didn’t disappoint! Friendly service and a nice atmosphere, highly recommended!

    Very nice place, surrounded by plants and between two calm streets. On Saturdays, be there early or you will have to wait outside for a long while. One can tell the ingredients used are of good quality. Especially bread.

    This place is fantastic! Only for the hard core meat eaters! They have great burgers & sandwiches . I went for the terrible sandwich with cheese (it was a tough choice between sandwich brutal, which is just super meaty - I love the names, haha). Not sure who Terrible Jose was but his terrible sandwiches are terrific! The girls who work here are super lovely too! Totally recommended. Oh! They have a bakery too with great patisserie & coffee!

    We had the chilaquiles and the Huevos al Horno. The red sauce was excellent and eggs cooked perfectly. The eggs cheese and bacon wrapped bread under was very tender together and just melted in your mouth. The salad was very fresh and was a nice touch to clean the palate. It has a very favorable vinaigrette. The coffee was very smooth and I even got another cup of long black to take with us on the walk home. Great place to eat and since we speak little Spanish one waiter came over who spoke English. Great experience. Can’t wait to try the terrible bacon cheese sandwich and desayno ingles.

    (Translated by Google) Lots of people, passable attention. People are sitting after dinner despite so many people waiting to enter and the restaurant does little to change the situation. Furniture is old and some areas of the terrace look dirty. They do not offer a menu because the tables have a QR code to download it, but they are washed out by the sun. So you have to stand among the diners to see the menu. They do not clean the tables before asking to pass other diners. The drinks are good in taste and presentation, as are the desserts, but the food is not recommended. Good place to stop by for coffee and bread, but definitely to go. (Original) Mucha gente, atención pasable. La gente hace sobremesa a pesar de tantas personas en espera para entrar y el restaurante hace poco para cambiar la situación. El mobiliario es viejo y se ven sucias algunas áreas de la terraza. No ofrecen menú porque cuentan con código QR las mesas para descargarlo, pero están deslavados por el sol. Así que hay que pararse entre los comensales para ver el menú. No limpian las mesas antes de pedir pasar a otros comensales. Las bebidas son buenas en sabor y presentación, al igual que los postres, pero la comida no la recomiendo. Buen lugar para pasar por un café y pan, pero definitivamente para llevar.

  • 5/5 John B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience here. The food was fantastic. I had their signature sandwich called the terrible Juan four cheese bacon sandwich. It is four very delicious cheeses all inside a wrapping of woven bacon, covered in maple syrup. I've never had anything like it before, and will probably be hard-pressed to find anything like it anywhere else in the world. It was definitely well worth driving all the way across town and waiting nearly an hour for a table on a Saturday morning.

  • 5/5 Alejandra P. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely delicious food!! The place is not that big, I would say no more than 30 guests (9-10 tables). Chilaquiles, molletes, torta de chilaquiles are really really good. Prices are reasonable, it was crowded even during week days, got there around 8:30 and did not have to wait but after 9:30 you will probably wait. The only thing I did not like is that it took forever to get our meals. 4.5 stars

    One of the best places to get good quality coffee in GDL. The food is also good but I mostly buy coffee grounds and cortados! If you have not had their coffee, it is hands down the best in the area

  • 5/5 Edward A. 1 year ago on Google • 60 reviews
    Excellent food. I would recommend this more to the local people who are looking to try a distinct gastronomic option. It has a little bit of a Montreal's (Canadian) vibe which my wife and I loved👍

  • 1/5 Ryan F. 1 month ago on Google • 51 reviews New
    Based on their French Toast this restaurant is definetly terrible. French toast was cold and the bread was old, not fresh, with a burnt taste. And the syrup was watery. How anyone can screw up something as simple as French Toast this bad is ridiculous. Yikes.

  • 5/5 Yuen Shing L. 2 months ago on Google • 47 reviews New
    The best latte among others I tried in Guadalajara. Very friendly staff in both shops. English breakfast, salmon toast and cheese cake are tasty and good portion .

  • 5/5 salvadorGonrriva 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a pleasant place, or at least for me, who is a coffee lover, I find it comfortable due to the fact that there is also a sale of coffee in grams that they prepare themselves with their different varieties and details, and I have nothing to do with the service. simply say is excellent (Original) Es un lugar agradable, o al menos para mí que soy amante de la café me resulta cómodo por el hecho de que también hay vente del café en gramo que ellos mismos preparan con sus distintas variedades y precisos, y sobre el servicio no tengo nada que decir simplemente es excelente

    I love El Terrible Juan. Great open space for great coffee or a bite to eat. They take all Covid precautions; sanitizer tables between customers, sanitizer before you enter and temperature checks, too. Double check hours as they have been closing early, (Feb 2021).

    Good food, attentive service and quick service. It can get a bit crowded due to limited seating caused by the pandemic, but that’s not their fault.

    I enjoyed a late afternoon weekday lunch with three friends. The food is good, but not great. The service was fantastic. 7/10 - I would return with a friend who is determined to eat here.

  • 5/5 Vickie V. 10 months ago on Google
    We stopped by here while on our way to a tour so we had very little time. This place was packed, which was a good sign. The waitstaff was friendly and accommodated our tight schedule. The latte was on point. I had to buy some beans to bring back to the states to taste it again. We ordered smoked salmon toast, which came with a side of salad. The toast was simple and delicious. Would love to come back and try other items on their menu.

    the coffee here is great. I just got the whole beans to take home cuz I have an espresso machine. but damn it's really good. And also I had a hamburger while I was there and it was really good it came with a salad and fries which I thought was really nice and the quality of the burger fries and salad was really good. I definitely plan on going back

  • 4/5 Alex R. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place, GREAT coffee, good service... I widely recommend it for a relaxed stop. The vibe of the place was good. The "Pet friendly" polity is taken a bit too far, which I personally disagree... nothing personal. *I have to update my review because the owner ask for a reply: I suggest a limited pet-friendly area. I would ask costumers which one do they prefer... and that area should be confined.*

  • 5/5 Cozzi P. 5 years ago on Google
    After over a month in Mexico this is probably the best coffee I had. I normally prefer oat or soy in my coffee (vegan) but had to choose between almond and coconut here. The almond milk latte I had (comes with two espresso shots) was absolutely delicious and the long black with a side of almond milk was also great. The space is really nice and the staff are attentive and kind. Price was great for us too. Highly recommend!

    (Translated by Google) I love to go to breakfast alone or with someone and have a coffee, the staff is always very energetic and generally very good at serving. I think they have modified the portions now they are smaller but it is good so the matter is more balanced, not so full. I suggest you balance more with the rich salad they give. regards (Original) Me encanta para ir a desayunar sola o acompañada y tomarme un café el staff siempre es muy enérgico y en general muy buenos atendiendo.
