“ Exactly what I love in a coffee shop. Good coffee, happy service and amazing decor with three separate cosy areas (plus outside) to find “your spot”. Looove the plant filled window at the front. ”
“ Amazing. I am a huge sucker for breakfast and coffee, so I have been searching for a place to enjoy since arriving in Guadalajara. Nothing seemed to satisfy me, until now. I have spent years cooking and serving brunch in various restaurants, so it is a true pleasure to sit on the other side of the line and feel pride in another person's cooking, much less get to relax and eat it. I wanted to hug the chef. Iced coffee was smooth and well brewed, with a lime slice at the bottom which I thought was odd until I started sipping. The flower garnish pictured is my own, picked on my way, so don't expect it to be too frilly. It doesn't require extra dress- it's just damn good. Before receiving our order, they served up some sliced watermelon, bread, and sauces. Refreshing and satisfying as we waited, a touch that made our time that much more enjoyable. We ordered the Pochero(poached eggs over slightly spicy tomatillo salsa, crema, cotija, and beans, topped with crispy chopped bacon) and Chilaquiles Piquantes(traditional and incendiary). We enjoyed every bite, eggs were exceptionally poached, tortillas in the chilaquiles were resilient and crunchy, salsas were harmonious flavor combinations. Even basic elements such as beans were excellent, which goes to show true attention and care- a love of the communion that is food. Ambiance is somewhat kitschy cool, somewhat hipster punk, with antiques like sewing machines and hand crafted radio bars playing The Creation. Staff is equally cool, tattooed, and very friendly. Highly recommend. ”
“ Small spot, but must visit. They host coffee from roaster Cafe Estelar, tried a single-origin Veracruz (v60). Perfectly poured, temperature, great extraction in oils. Tried tiramisu from SUSU, comes in a small glass glass. Perfect portion, great texture and flavors (not overly sweet). Creme brulee, perfect top crust and crackle you search for. Will definitely be back when in town. ”
“ Great dining experience, unique menu, awesome and friendly staff. Highly recommend if you’re looking for some good food in a great atmosphere! ”
“ I took myself out for brunch on Wednesday morning and it was the perfect time to go. It’s wasn’t too busy and I was able to relax, eat and do some reading. The staff were very nice and attentive and understanding of my limited Spanish. The food was great as well. The portions are large and the prices are more than reasonable. I’m sure I’ll be back during my time here in Guadalajara. ”
“ If I lived in Guadalajara I would be a regular at this place. We came here for dinner on our last night and we left with a memorable meal. The filete de res with poblano sauce was scrumptious. The salads too were unexpectedly good! The only thing I remembered to take a photo of was the date pie with espresso dulce de leche — a great way to end our meal. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating despite our limited Spanish. We will definitely be back here the next time we’re in Guadalajara! ”
“ So good and nice people! Great experience ”
“ Such a cute place.. love the vintage touches. The chilequiles were different (stacked) yet amazing. They give you a little fruit bowl when you sit down. Recommend. ”
