Mexico City, Mexico

It’s one of the coolest spots in Mexico City, no doubt. It’s not a place to work, but it’s super cool, super comfortable, full of personality, with great coffee and tasty food and at night it turns into a bar, and their espresso martini is spectacular!!

I think this place is beautiful!! It’s a very good size — not too small, not too big — and I really liked the coffee and matcha. I also love that they have little things for sale, like home décor and cute trinkets :)

Very cute, and it’s awesome that everything is red. They have delicious coffee and matcha!! It feels super artisanal and it’s really comfortable for hanging out and chatting with friends. Not the best for working, but it’s doable.

Mexico City, Mexico

What I like most is that it’s a place perfectly suited for working from home: lots of outlets, individual tables, table service so you don’t have to keep getting up (like in a restaurant). Good music, though a bit loud for taking calls. I love it for breakfast, grabbing a coffee or chai, and settling in for a good while.
