I love sitting upstairs with a friend enjoying the quiet atmosphere. Coffee, cocoa, cinnamon rolls, and croissants are all delish. Try their new cookies! Yum!

The best coffee I’ve had in Pátzcuaro! Well made & good quality. Decent pastries as well. There’s a nice (& quiet upstairs space with wifi), and the downstairs has great options for gifts.

Small but very cozy place, delicious bread and coffee with quite affordable prices right in the center of Patzcuaro

What a great surprise finding this Coffe shop on my return to my hometown Pátzcuaro, it has become my regular stop in the crisp mornings, the best Coffe in town, The only thing missing is pour-overs or black drip Coffe but the quality of their beans is there, their teas are also jammy. They have merchandise items to purchase that are very unique and one piece of a kind also have a great location on one of the corners of the main Plaza but the main thing is their bread oh oh oh so good. The first floor has no sitting but the second floor has plenty of tables most of the time.

Un lugar tranquilo. El té verde con jazmin muy rico, lo recomiendo. Me agradó mucho el espacio, aunque es pequeño, es limpio, con arte que le da un toque muy agradable. No comí nada, solo vine por el té.

Nice coffee place in Patzcuaro. The coffee is from Veracruz that is well-known in Mexico, for producing good coffee. On the second floor, there is spacious (for a little town like Patzcuaro) place with tables in a nice ambiente. The sweet bread appears to be of good quality, using butter instead of oils. The use of oils of questionable quality in the making of bread is unfortunately quite common in Mexico. In this place, this appears to be different.

2023.12.27. - very elegant and friendly cafe with an incredibly delicious cinnamon roll. Friends say it’s their favorite cafe in Centro. I’ve been away for quite awhile so don’t know the options but this place is great in every regards.
