“ Words cannot describe the quality of the coffee, the food, the service and the beauty of this amazing spot. Grab a table outside, order some of the best coffee and breakfast, then just sit back and be happy that you are in such a tranquil place. ”
“ We enjoyed Chiapas pour-over coffee and brunch with yummy local cheese and banana pancakes at this local favorite spot. We got our lavender and rosemary fix at the garden there sitting in the courtyard of a renovated 400-year-old hacienda. ”
“ Great Breakfast restaurant with garden patio seating!! Delicious coffee and muffin and had the most amazing pancakes in a long time! ”
“ A great spot for well-prepared speciality coffee and tasty food (including massive slices of not-too-sweet carrot cake). The cold brew was exactly what was needed on a hot day, and both the patio and indoor areas are great spaces for hanging out (we went twice during our stay). Highly recommend! ”
“ It’s such a peaceful and lovely experience to sit outside in the courtyard here. The coffee is absolutely scrumptious—definitely one of the highlights! Just a heads up, you might catch some live music while you’re enjoying your drink, which adds to the vibrant atmosphere. The wifi isn’t the most reliable, especially since it was busy when I was there, but that didn’t really bother me. There’s also a cute art gallery and an outdoor shop in the courtyard that are worth checking out. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax, sip on some great coffee, and soak in the creativity around you! ”
“ Great place with super fresh food and good prices. For breakfast there is an unbeatable deal to get fruit, juice, coffee, and eggs in a combo. We ate here one day for lunch as well and what stands out is the freshness of ingredients. If I had one criticism it is that bread always seems to dry. It is good whole grain, but very dry. But this def one of if not the top breakfast place in San Cristobal. ”
“ Such a great find! This is my favorite cafe in San Cristobal. Love the carrot cake, nice frosting and the cake itself isn’t dry at all! The cafe is very artsy and surrounded by flowers and plants. Having brunch here is like sitting in a garden. We had musician playing violins and the service was very fast. My breakfast omelet was very filling and tasty. ”
“ Best breakfast in San Cristobal. And it's not even close. I went here 7 (!!) times in a week because no other spot compares to this in terms of food quality, vibe or price. Excellent service as well. Their omelettes are made from 3 eggs each. One omelette costs 80 pesos. They have a divine carrot cake for 60 pesos. The best Americano coffee I had on this trip. If you want something a tiny bit more filling and greasy, go for the breakfast bagel. I personally preferred the omelettes and the granola fruit bowl. ”
