Mexico City has an incredible café scene, and after spending months exploring its neighborhoods, I’ve found some of the best spots that go beyond the usual recommendations. This guide is for those who want to skip the basic suggestions and discover cafés with real character—places I stumbled upon while wandering the city, tucked-away gems that locals love, and hidden spots that became my go-to favorites. Whether you’re looking for the perfect latte, a stylish space to work, or a quiet corner to people-watch, these are the top 10 cafés worth seeking out in CDMX!

Notes: Some of the cafes I listed have multiple branches, however I intentionally included the specific locations that I think are the best to include in this guide!
