It's a great little spot with great coffee, yummy breakfast snacks, especially the strawberry Nutella crepes! The only drawback to this spot is that it tends to be very noisy when a group of 200 or so people gather and talk!! The place is constructed of concrete block and has absolutely NO redeeming sound qualities, like most Mexican buildings!! Other than that, it's a fun little spot to sip coffee and visit.

This turned out not to be a problem, as the food menu, while limited, features something for everyone (except perhaps those on a keto diet). We all tried something different, and all the choices were excellent. Unfortunately, they left no room for dessert, so we will have to go back at another time to sample the carrot cake, brownies, and obviously-calorie-laden holiday drink specialties. Having missed lunch, we arrived just after they reopened at 6 PM, which turned out to be a good thing. By the time we finished our meal, there were people waiting to get in, seemingly all locals. The cafe is tiny, so the claustrophobic may want to order take-out.

The barista was very friendly. And given the overall lack of good coffee in Merida, we considered this a find.

They have a few tables and chairs. This small shop is attractive and comfortable.
