Tierra Garat

@euegnia

The coffee is consistently excellent, but the real highlight is their cocoa; try the vanilla flower hot cocoa blend, the ginger-orange or the ancestral recipe of chiltepín-pepper-achiote.

I am a movie enjoyer, an amateur photographer, lover of theatre, art, music, the outdoors and sport. From outdoor adventure travel, photography, food, coffee shop recommendations, hidden gems, the best museums, parks, places to sit and read a book or watch people passing by: I got your back. I haven't visited as many places as I would like... yet. But I have marked all of my favourite spots on a map, and am an avid researcher when it's somewhere I've never been to. Ask me anything!
