Amore Negro Cafe
@moeha
Amor Negro has a solid coffee menu and the internet is always great. Try their horchata cold brew for something different.
Great place to work remotely & the staff is always nice.

Libre Café
@moeha
No frills, just good coffee. Don't forget to pick up a bag (or two) of their coffee beans.
People tend to smoke in the back so sit in the front room if you prefer.

Frontera Artisan Food and Coffee
@moeha
Frontera's carrot cake is such a treat, make sure to pair it with any of their coffees. Their courtyard tables are lovely on a sunny day and there is plenty of space inside when it's cold/raining. Breakfast dishes are all great too.

Astro Café
@moeha
Astro Cafe is a fairly new cafe with some cute courtyard seating. It's a good place to get some work done and have some coffee/smoothies. If you're lucky, you'll encounter a family of cats living in the back!
The cafe has a bookstore & tattoo studio attached to it.

Carajillo Expendio
@moeha
Carajillo used to have a full-menu cafe but they've moved towards to-go coffee and selling beans. Regardless, they have really good coffee, definitely worth a visit.

Café Mooa
@moeha
Mooa is a cute indoor/outdoor cafe with an LA-vibe menu that includes their "magic latte"s like moon-milk and pink latte with CBD oil. Their internet is great and it's a quiet place to work or read a nice book. Staff here are really nice and helpful.

Honourable Mentions:

Black Dragon Coffee Center
@moeha
Note: they do not serve coffee here anymore.
They roast and sell local organic coffee beans and you can smell it from a block away :)

Kinoki
@moeha
Kinoki is a tea salon but you can get coffee here too. Most importantly, you get the best view of the pedestrian street from the rooftop terrace and you can borrow a wooly poncho when it gets cold :)
Plus, they show films, including documentary films about the Zapatista movement in their screening rooms. Check out their screening schedule on their facebook page.
