Coyoacán & San Ángel
This immensely popular, iconic joint churns out coffee from Veracruz for long lines of bean lovers – the café de olla, with a touch of cinnamon and other spices is a hit. As there’s no seating inside, people have their drink standing in the street or sitting on curbside benches.
A branch with seats is several blocks northwest of Jardín Centenario.
