Boulenc is a popular European-style bakery and restaurant located in Centro, Oaxaca. Known for its fresh-baked sourdough bread, delectable pastries, and diverse menu featuring French, Italian, and international favorites like reuben sandwiches, wood-oven pizzas with sourdough crusts, egg sandwiches on homemade English muffins, shakshuka, and croque-monsieurs. The cafe offers an airy ambiance with tables in a covered courtyard.
Boulenic is a gem in Oaxaca! We had breakfast here and really enjoyed it. French toast was best we ever had. The pastries and breads are absolutely delicious — fresh, buttery, and full of flavor. Coffee is excellent and pairs perfectly with their baked goods. The place has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. Service is friendly and attentive, and everything feels made with care. A must-visit for anyone who loves good coffee , artisanal pastries and good food.

Enjoyable breakfast. Had a baguette with wonderful house made bread and high quality cured meats. Quiche was moderate and served ice cold, which was weird. She loved her shakshuka. Worth a stop for the bread.

I can see why this place has the high rating that it does. I opted for the yogurt bowl and it was divine! My husband had a sandwich and it was massive! Despite the portions, they were not heavy. Loved the fresh ingredients and lovely staff. Looks to be very popular with tourists.
Maggen B — Google review
Loved it here very much! Amazing food, plenty of different options to choose from (also vegetarian) and an impressive drinks menu ranging from kombuchas and lemonades to cocktails, Mexican cava and mezcals. It’s also very cosy there, it’s a lovely covered courtyard so it’s kind of outside but not warm from the sun.
Anastasiia — Google review
We stopped by Boulenc in Oaxaca after looking at it online. The place has a lovely vibe — warm, busy, and full of energy. The food was fine, though it didn’t quite live up to the hype. We had to wait around 20 minutes to get in, so it’s clearly a popular spot, but overall it was a pleasant enough experience.

You could never go wrong with boulenc! Everytime we’re at Oaxaca we go to boulenc, safe to say it always hits the spot! It does get busy around brunch time, wait time could vary. We waited about ~30 mins. Food was delish and portions can be quite big

Absolutely loved it here!! A friend and I were trying to find a place to find to sit down and study, and this cafe was absolutely perfect for that! The baristas were so so sweet and friendly, and gave us the WiFi for the cafe so we could study. I ordered a matcha latte and my friend ordered a jamaica(?) drink. They were both amazing! I was enamored with the matcha. Would so highly recommend this place!

We had a brunch there, really enjoyed it! The food was amazing, coffee and matcha as well. They’ve got quite a few vegetarian options. They also have a very cute courtyard, unfortunately all tables there were reserved or occupied. But the cafe itself is also lovely so we didn’t mind.

A lovely and professional coffee shop!!! As a tourist and coffee lover hanging around Mexico, I tried some cafe in CDMX, Purto Escondido and Oaxaca, this one is the best for now☺️Ninana is so cute!! She brewed geisha and honey bourbon for us, the former one is perfect with incredibly good price… I wanna buy one bag to brew at home myself but sadly knew they only have a few left🥹Mar provided good service too! She serve sparkling water with the coffee, it made coffee more tasty I think. So thoughtful. I’ll definitely come back next time and recommend to all my friends visiting Oaxaca.❤️

A gem in the heart of a historic neighborhood! We were hungry on New Years Day and were so happy this breakfast place was open. The space felt so quaint, and the food was great. We had the lunch sandwiches and a cortado. The service quick even though they were so packed with patrons.

One of my favorite cafés - such a relaxing space, and I love that they sell spices and oil in the front. I have to recommend the rol de queso con frutos rojos. I took my mom when she was in town, and they offered us warm fresh pastries along with our breakfast :)

We came in around 8.30 AM, tired from our overnight bus journey. The food and hospitality here totally revived us. Get the Oaxacan hot chocolate with hot water (not milk), the panqué de plátano, the enfrijolada for a wholesome breakfast. The ingredients are so fresh, you can taste them in every bite. A baker from the kitchen walked out to show us the fresh baked goods. Delightful!

An absolute hidden gem! We were so glad to have found this cafe tucked away in a small street away from the hustling streets. The coffee are all locally sourced in Oaxaca and breads are made in house! They pride themselves for all organic ingredients. The pastries were divine, especially the Guava pie. This turned out to be the go to spot for our morning fixes. The owner's aunt Sandra was extremely hospitable and assisted us with our trip planning.

Pan con Madre is a renowned artisanal bakery in Oaxaca that introduced sourdough bread to the city. The aroma of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, drawing you into a bustling bakery where bakers work on various breads and pastries. Unique flavors like cardamom spirals, cheese and fig paste buns, dulce de leche rolls, and fresh focaccia are among their offerings.
Really lovely cafe with a beautiful outside space perfect for a relaxing breakfast. The apple strudel was absolutely phenomenal and also at a decent price. Servers were very kind and attentive, would definitely recommend if you are in Oaxaca. Strawberry and Rosemary water was also very nice.

This was a wonderful spot. Even though we had saved loads of restaurants before we visited Oaxaca, we had missed this one. But what a lovely treat it was to find. Lovely courtyard at the back, and yummy pastries and sandwiches. Our favourite was the prosciutto and apple sandwich - we ended up coming here a couple of times for it. Good coffee too!

Great cold brew, excellent pastries. The sandwich was good, but was small/didn’t have much filling. The guava and cheese pastry blew our minds and was our favorite. The service was great. Cute courtyard.

Very cool cafe in Oaxaca city - the pastry I had was decent but didn’t blow my mind. I did really like the coffee though - had quite a unique taste to it. If I went back I’d try the focaccia as that seems to be what they’re known for!

One of the more decent bakeries I've tried in Mexico. Yummy pastries and cakes. The cold brew with ice was also a welcome relief in the scorching heat. Courtyard was a relaxing place to spend a bit of time chatting with my friends. Paid 564 pesos for the cakes/pastries pictured and 4 iced drinks.

Great pastries but very indifferent service. During our afternoon visit, there was still a good variety of pastries available. We ordered three to share, but the staff seemed indifferent and gave off the vibe that they didn’t want to be there. The cashier assumed we wanted the pastries for takeaway without asking, and when I mentioned we wanted to eat them there, the reaction wasn’t the friendliest, which was a real bummer considering how delicious the pastries were. The small chairs were quite uncomfortable, but they served their purpose while we enjoyed our pastries. It’s unfortunate that the service didn’t match the quality of the pastries, as it could have made for a much more enjoyable experience.

The focaccia here is delicious. My friend was in town visiting and we tried all three types and were blown away, but we especially loved the one with caramelized onion. Their veggie pizza is great - thin crust, flavorful sauce. Incredible bakery overall.

One of my favourite food + coffee spots in town! There is a little rooftop area that’s quite relaxing which we loved (requires going up some narrow stairs but we somehow managed with a baby and stroller🤣). Their Mocha was absolutely incredible, so rich and creamy! Their staff are genuine and nice. Their Chicken & Waffles and Barbacoa Sandwich were soooo delicious! We’ll definitely be back :)

Stumbled on this spot while wandering the city, and wow, hands down one of the best breakfasts we've had in Oaxaca. The waffles were perfectly crunchy with a rich, buttery flavor and the cold brew with guava was such a refreshing twist. We also tried the avocado and egg sandwich, and the eggs were insanely fluffy and creamy. Wish we’d found this place earlier in the trip. 10/10, highly recommend.

Sagrado Filemón ranks among the top three breakfast / brunch experiences of my life. It’s a quaint, relaxed rooftop. We ordered the pan cacao (flakey bread pastry with a coffee cream and topped with cacao nibs), the guava cream filled pastry, the breakfast pizza topped with eggs, the arroz con leche with fruit, and the savory churro breakfast sandwich - for two people. We were stuffed for the rest of the day, but not one regret. Order anything - you can’t go wrong.

Still exploring all the cafes but this is the best coffee I’ve found in Oaxaca as of writing this review. Didn’t get to try the food but they do offer a solid selection of food options. Service was okay. Seating is limited. You can work here although the WiFi was not working when we were there.

I came here specifically for their guava cold brew since it sounded so delicious to me, I’m a sucker for everything guava. It’s definitely a strong cold brew with a tart flavor, you couldn’t go wrong with it. Strong yet sweet. The vibes were so beautiful and whoever chose the playlist for this cafe ,keep doing it :D.

If you're in Oaxaca, you can't miss this restaurant. I had one of the best brunches I've ever had in my life at Sagrado Filemon. I got the Panqueques Salados and my fiance got the Pizzayuno. The gravy on the pancakes was mind-blowing. To drink, I got the Ayer at the staff's recommendation and was not disappointed. It was extremely refreshing and unexpected. My fiance got the Guave Brew, which was also delicious. We sat on the patio which was a lovely experience.

July262025 2nd visit she ordered eggs Benedict/bacon that comes with potatoes and saavocado. Benny was really good my criticism is it was delivered only warm so I think it sat for a bit beofre service, the potatoes we COLD and tasted of 3 days old refrigerator storage whichcwas a huge disappointment as I was starving for some nice crisp breakfast potatoes. He ordered torta ahogada sandwich wasn't just warm not hot, flavors were good. We will try again to see what happens. Note to server: please deliver the food HOT! Note to kitchen staff: please crisp the potatoes on griddle or in a skillet. Stale potatoes 😔 Lovely place! We walked from La Cascada walked East on Genaro Vasquez street. There is zero signage from this direction and after speaking someone from the restaurant we were told they are not allowed signage per the city. Bummer because this place ROCKS! . We visited on father's day they were not that busy about 10 tables sat. Our order was taken quickly and drinks arrived right away. He ordered cappuccino and I had orange juice. He ordered huevos rancheros and I ordered French toast. We really enjoyed our food. Our server was amazing and I forgot to note his name. Only complaint we ordered eggs over medium and they came sunny side up but the whites were fully cooked. The place is very clean including the restrooms.

We visited Chepiche Cafe during our stay in Oaxaca. We heard great things about this spot. Although the food was good, the service was a bit slow. Went during brunch time where they offer mainly sandwiches and salads. Although breakfast is served till 2:00 p.m. we were hoping to try some of the bigger dishes that are not available until dinner. They focus on using fresh and local ingredients from local vendors. Even though it's beautiful to sit outside, there are lots of trees with nuts that attracts squirrels out and they constantly drop Nutshells and leaves down to your food.

The place is nice enough, but it takes incredibly long to get your order. The place was not half full, we ordered two lattes and a pastry and it took 45minutes to arrive.

A lovely coffee shop with a great vibe! I visited the location twice because the V60 was so good! Came for brunch with my wife and friends, the location is great with a big 'courtyard' inside, with a canopy that allows the wind to blow through but keeps the sun out. I had a bagel on both occasions which was delicious. The was well cooked, the manchego was gooey and melted, and the bacon was salty and crispy. Wifi was fast, so I could sit here and work without issues. Staff are kind, and service was good.

One of the best brunch spots in town. It’s down to earth and doesn’t try to be high brow. The space is beautiful with a courtyard that provides an escape from the bustle while being just around the corner. Service is excellent. Friendly faces and short wait times. Coffee is delicious and none of the orders have missed. We’ve made this our daily breakfast spot in the city. The banquettes are made with fresh bread and unbelievably tasty ingredients. Granola is flavorful and the shakshuka is great as well!

We adore this little cafe. Seems like a coffee and pastry stop if you just walk by but it opens up to a small dining room and even larger courtyard dining. We go every time we’re at n Centro Oaxaca. Which is now three times. Fresh squeezed juice. Cappuccino. Breakfast menu items for lots of palates. We tried our first Shakshouka. - Amazing. Shakshouka is a Maghrebi dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, olive oil, peppers, onion, and garlic, commonly spiced with cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

First things first, the handbrew/filtrado coffee is absolutely delicious. I’d recommend the sierra norte for its rich, chocolatey notes, and I’d like to thank the friendly and knowledgeable server for making the recommendation. I stopped by twice for two equally delicious breakfasts: one with shakshuka, and the other with avocado toast. The beautiful whitewashed courtyard is surrounded by trees and bougainvillea, and made me feel like I was really on vacation. The only thing you might want to note is that the WiFi signal isn’t as strong outside, however there is a dining room indoors as well.

I absolutely loved the courtyard area – it's such a relaxing spot, with vibrant colors and beautiful plants that create a peaceful atmosphere. It's perfect for enjoying a light breakfast or getting some studying done. The banana bread and croissants were both a 10/10, and the matcha was excellent as well. The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Coolest place, coolest vibes, coolest food, coolest cafe. I loved how there were pillows/cushions on the benches we were sitting at, and the whole local-vibe of the cafe was really awesome. The artwork and furniture and just ugh everything. There was outdoor and indoor seating, half of us were outside and the other half inside. The waitress that was serving us was really sweet and adorable whenever she was trying to figure out who ordered what. I ordered the iced strawberry matcha latte and the toast de huevos revueltos, which were both AMAZING!! I wasn't expecting to like them as much as I did! My friend got the avocado toast hot chocolate oaxaqueño, which were also pretty dang good. Overall, can't express how much you should try this place out!

I came here for breakfast and absolutely loved it. I had the avocado toast with a side of ham and an egg — it was delicious. The flat white was also excellent, one of the best I’ve had in Oaxaca. The atmosphere was perfect: cozy, relaxed, and beautifully designed. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place — it was such a lovely experience from start to finish.

Kiyo Café is a trendy spot in Oaxaca that's perfect for remote work or a leisurely brunch. The café offers a limited but delicious menu, featuring items like vegan mushroom toast and overnight oats. Visitors rave about the beet hummus and golden milk latte with oat milk. In addition to great coffee, the café also sells handmade crafts and clothes. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their coffee beans, which results in delicate, fruity, and complex brews.
My absolute favorite coffee shop in the city! Not only did it have the best latte imo in the town the staff is so friendly especially Tania, the food is delicious, the pastries are great, the vibes are superb, I worked for a few hours there some days, they are outlets. High recommend!!!

SO CUTE! This café is definitely on the trendy (and yes, slightly gentrified) side, but it’s such a lovely spot to relax. There’s a small boutique at the entrance with beautifully curated items — the prices are definitely high, but it’s still fun to browse while waiting for your coffee. I ordered a flat white and it was perfect! Smooth, strong, and beautifully balanced. I really appreciated that they offered soy milk, which can be hard to find in Oaxaca — more cafés need to take note! The backyard area is an absolute gem — peaceful, lush, and full of natural light. It feels like a little oasis tucked away from the busy streets. I also tried the cookie, which was the perfect texture: soft in the center with a slight crisp on the edges. If you’re looking for a calm, stylish café in Oaxaca with great coffee and good vibes, this place is a must-visit! Tip: grab a copy of the map they have in the store - it highlights some great local businesses.

Very much a vibe! Outstanding pastries, friendly service and awesome cold brew. The chilaquiles were 10/10. There is plenty of seating if you need to get some work done or just catch up with a friend. I picked up a bag of coffee beans to take home with me, which tasted great. The courtyard is really pretty, but the water fountain attracts a lot of mosquitoes.

This place is very beautiful and a little off the beaten path. It’s great to take a break or study (which I saw some patrons doing). Great trinkets to take home or even clothing. I ordered a golden milk latte and didn’t love it. Turmeric is tough to break down so it doesn’t clump and stick to the throat but I wanted to try it because this was the drink that wasn’t offered in other cafes I had visited during my time there. Glad I visited and ordered something but I wouldn’t return if in the area.

Pan:am Abasolo is a charming bakery and cafe located in a traditional Oaxacan house with vibrant walls and a lovely courtyard patio. It has gained recognition for its freshly-baked bread, pastries, and good coffee. The menu offers unique twists on traditional Mexican breakfast dishes, such as incorporating nopales in their huevos divorciados. With locations near Santo Domingo Church and in the city's northeast, both spots provide a delightful morning ambiance.
Came here for breakfast, food was great, a bit pricey for others restaurants with the same items. They do say they make everything from scratch and it’s organic. I can’t complain the food was delicious!

The food is average, nothing special, we returned the two cappuccinos, they both were weak, water down coffee, chillaquiles de la abuela were ok, the machaca was nothing special, we were still hungry, also ordered the chicken pesto sandwich also average, and the ham n cheese croissant ( the sandwiches had mexican names on the menu, but i have the ingredients right) we didn't finish the ham n cheese croissant, tasted like gas station sandwich to be honest. The bathrooms are small and lack of ventilation, prices were average for that part of town. Service wasn't the best, they looked overwhelmed.

I had this restaurant on my list for brunch and finally made it after 5 weeks in Oaxaca, but sadly it was one of the worst meals I had. I first ordered the jugo verde, which should have had both orange and apple juice in but clearly didn’t include either meaning it had no flavour / substance - it was just green water. They allowed me to change it for another type of juice, which was a little better but still pretty unexciting and also quite small. I then ordered the Manchaca con huevo and explained that I have an allergy to diary so requested no cheese, butter etc, which was acknowledged, but it still came out with cheese sprinkled over the refried beans and so had to go back. It was obvious the kitchen then simply removed the beans and some of the egg and sent the same dish back with new beans, by which point it was only luke warm and the plate also had a large fingerprint smeared across the side. The scrambled egg was very dry and didn’t have much flavour and the tortillas were similarly dry and very chewy so the meal was extremely boring overall, even with the addition of salsa picante. The patio area is also very dark due to all the umbrellas meaning there are only one or two tables it’s possible to work at. It’s a shame but I definitely can’t recommend eating here.

Cute little breakfast spot with charming shaded courtyard. Service was good. Food and coffee was okay. Vainilla Concha was also very good as well. We ordered the Chilaquiles Abuela with an add in of eggs and chorizo on the side. The serving size was a little small, flavor was okay, eggs were overcooked, and chorizo was oversalted. The cappacinno was way overfrothed and the foam was like soapy bubbles instead of foam. Overall, still a great place to stop in for breakfast if you’re in the area but I would not go out of the way to come here. They did also have reliable wifi and allowed us to work from our laptops which we greatly appreciated.

Cute place! We went for breakfast/brunch and we had a table right away, we went a bit late. Off the bat, they advised us that they only accept cash which was a huge negative. The variety of brunch was okay and service was very slow. Food was okay, I ordered an egg sandwich, the sandwich was very greasy, however, there was a good food presentation. I really did not like that they only accepted cash when I visited. The service was not great as they were not nice. However, the restaurant was clean and prices were okay for the area. I would go somewhere else for better breakfast, better service, and a card terminal.

Oaxaca en una Taza is a charming café known for its delectable almond croissants and perfectly poured lattes. The small space offers a cozy and relaxing interior, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a variety of hot chocolate flavors such as almond, cardamom, ginger, and pistachio. If seating is limited inside, visitors can opt to take their coffee or hot chocolate to go and find a seat on the steps of the nearby Santo Domingo Church.
A beautiful cafe/bakery, very close to the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, one of Oaxaca’s must-visit churches. I had a coffee and a pineapple pastry. There is wifi and a cosy seating area around a small patio.

Incredible food and they open early, breakfast is fantastic. The Enchiladas Suizas and Farmhouse Omelette are both delicious; everything that came out to the tables nearby looked equally exceptional. Big portions. Don’t leave without adding a side of Guacamole and a Chocolate de Agua. If you’re traveling with kids, this place is very family friendly in every way — waffles with Agave syrup, fresh seasonal fruit, omelettes which can be adjusted for kids’ palette, fresh juices. Beautiful place, relaxed vibe, really delicious food. Highly recommend visiting this place at the start of your Oaxaca trip as you may want to return for many more breakfasts! NB: bring cash, they don’t accept cards every day.

PAN:AM is a Must for breakfast in Oaxaca city. The bread is baked flawlessly. So delicious. The menu is excellent. The chilaquiles were a little crunchy how I like them and saucy.

I recently dined at PAN:AM and, unfortunately, my experience was far from enjoyable. The service was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We had to wait far too long for our food, and even more frustratingly, to settle our bill. When our coffees finally arrived, they were cold, and the servers didn’t seem concerned or willing to make it right. The staff lacked friendliness and weren’t accommodating when we expressed our dissatisfaction. It felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed customers. While the restaurant’s ambiance may have been inviting, the overall service left much to be desired. I won’t be returning anytime soon, and I would hesitate to recommend PAN:AM to others.

Café Caracol Púrpura is a charming coffee shop located in Centro, Oaxaca.

The café's breezy corner location makes it perfect for people-watching while enjoying their exceptional self-toasted and roasted coffee or cardamom-infused hot chocolate.
A cute cafe a bit uphill, but close to the heart of Oaxaca nonetheless. Very close to the Basilica of Nuestra Señora de Soledad, one of the most important churches in the city. I had an iced coffee with orange/mandarin, absolutely delicious. They sell quite a few souvenirs, as well as coffee beans and chocolate.

From the moment we sat down, the staff was a step ahead—anticipating our needs before we even voiced them. The restaurant itself is spotless, and it’s clear the team takes pride in what they do. We grabbed a window seat with a gorgeous view of the Zócalo—easily the best way to start the day. I tried huevos Oaxaqueños for the first time, and they absolutely blew me away. Perfect for solo brunches or big groups—plenty of space and zero hassle. This place is doing it right.

This location is unbeatable: right in front of the Zócalo with a side view to the cathedral. I went there for breakfast first thing in the morning before heading to Monte Albán. The service was slow considering it was practically empty, just three tables with customers. Breakfast was OK. My eggs were very dry, the refrito as well. I would almost say it was leftover refrito from the previous day. Without the outstanding location, this place would not be as well known as it is. It's not fine dining food. Noise-wise, it was almost on the fence as we had a saxophonist playing 80's music at 8:00 AM! On the bright side, the orange juice however was delicious and clearly from freshly squeezed local oranges and the bread was recently baked and delicious.

I went in to watch the Superbowl. I sat at the bar area and had the pleasure of being served by Jorge. I had a heavy lunch earlier so after halftime when I wanted dinner I asked Jorge to recommend something light and tasty. He suggested I get the green mole but to replace the pork rib with vegetables but I was curious about the rib so I asked for it as it is offered but with a side salad. The mole was delicious, it was light but decadent. The rib was cooked perfectly and when mixed with the rice and mole it made for a really nice taste. The off menu side salad was perfect, the cold vegetables were crisp and the warm vegetables we perfectly soft but with enough bite it make it feel right. Whoever prepared my meal knows what they are doing. I didn't get to enjoy the front overlooking the Zocalo but it looked really beautiful and the ambience was nice. Earlier I had a cappuccino and later a lemonade. I enjoyed both.

We shared the Traditional Oaxacan Platter for two, which was packed with flavour—the tamales were the standout. For dessert, the six Artisan Oaxacan Sorbets were the perfect, refreshing way to end an unforgettable meal. We will for sure come again.

The food here was SO good! We stopped in a little after 5:30pm after an afternoon of wandering the beautiful Jalalatco neighborhood, absolutely famished. People kept stopping in front of the restaurant and taking photos, and we walked up and saw that it was because of the absolutely gorgeous Día de Muertos ofrenda. The interior of the restaurant was just lovely. We ordered our food immediately -- water, because it was a pretty warm day and we were getting dehydrated, as well as the 32 Ingredients Black Mole and the Almendrado Mole. Some bread was brought out for us. The little rolls with a creamy buttery soft cheese baked onto the top under the thin crust were my favorite. So good. The moles were lovely! My almond mole with roasted chicken had a mild, nearly imperceptible spice-- perfect for me. I wished the chicken had been boneless because it was hard to find all the little bones in there while it was swimming in mole. My partner's black mole was outstanding! I wished that was what I ordered, even though I enjoyed my meal too! It was a lovely meal, though service was a little spotty. They were running around and very busy. For the price, I had hoped for a tiny bit more attention, but it was within an acceptable limit. Definitely try this place, just be ready to wait a long while. :)

I had my first taste of Oaxaca’s iconic black mole, mole negro, at Catedral, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. As a solo traveler, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality by my server, Johnny, whose enthusiasm for sharing his favorite recommendations and the rich history of Oaxaca made me feel not just like a guest, but like a friend. The atmosphere is enchanting—romantic yet intimate—where even dining alone felt like a deliberate act of self-love. The rooftop opens up into a breathtaking atrium, the deep red walls radiating emotion, and the scents and flavors lingering in every bite. Each dish was a sensory journey, and the mole was a revelation—rich, complex, and deeply memorable. A surprising highlight? How they elevated a simple Topo Chico—served with fresh lemon and a salted rim, turning it into a refreshingly decadent treat. It’s the little touches that made this experience feel so special, like a gift from the city itself. I’d return in a heartbeat, and I’m forever grateful that a local pointed me in this direction. If you’re in Oaxaca, Catedral is a must—come hungry, leave with a full heart.

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the food was great. I tried the chile en nogada, which was delicious. I also tried "nido de chapulines" which wasn't my thing, not because the they were grasshoppers, but because the sour seasoning made them kinda overwhelming, but as I later found out that's kind of how season them over there. The prices were reasonable, but my only complaint is that the brazilian lemonade was too expensive for what it was, especially for a mocktail. 190 pesos was too much for a relatively small lemonade frappe. There was a guy with a guitar playing some classic hits, which really added to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

It’s so good that even locals were expecting us to have eaten there when we spoke with them!

Went here to try manchamental and chichilo (both very hard to find), and it was incredible! The chichilo was duely somber, hearty, and mostly simple in flavor, with only very subtle complexity, and the vegitables and dough pieces complimented the tone of the dish brilliantly - enjoyable but not so pleasurable as to be inappropriate for a mourning family. The manchamantel was very lively, fruity, rich, bright, fun, and fairly spicy for a mole. And again, the other items in the dish complimented the mole brilliantly. The manchamantel is now my favorite of the 8 moles of Oaxaca, and the Chichilo is my significant other's favorite. The food was absolutely amazing, but do bear in mind, you will likely be waiting a while for your food. In my opinion though, it is well worth the wait! The decor is also fairly plain.

Absolutely loved our meal here! One of the best in Oaxaca and that's even comparing it to much fancier places with more accolades. Food tasted home made and the ambiance is casual, so the food took a while to come out, but worth it if you have time! Loved the Sopa de Conde and Mole Negro!

Extremely good moles! Ordered the 5 sampler. Look at other reviews for types. Best traditional mole I’ve had yet! Big recommendation to come here. The combo also comes with drinks which is nice. It’s quite pricy though - see my menu photo. The 5 mole combo with rice and 2 beverages is 650MX. Worth it though!

A quiet and sweet restaurant with some of the best moles I’ve ever had. The mole testing menu is a must try! My favorites were Coloradito, negro and rojo. The crema de chipolines is amazing. I loved the champurrado, the drink that I got which is a mix of corn and chocolate.

Tried to go for dinner. They told us they were full. They told us to come back the next day around 2pm as a table wouldn't be a problem at that time.. We arrived shortly after 2pm the next day and they said come back in an hour. Then they never opened for lunch. Had to find another that offered the 7 mole sampler. Thankfully we found one.

A beautiful place for a coffee in the centre of Oaxaca. Although it’s located very centrally, the courtyard is an oasis from the busyness of the nearby streets. There is a bookshop next door, also well worth a visit.

The main courses are chicken or pork mole, or grilled skirt steak. The juice was papaya and lemon. We were very happy with our experience.

This place was quite lovely. I really appreciated all the artesanal decorations and furniture they had in here, it was entertaining to look at the masks on the wall and guess the prices of them. Only downside was that there's only one restroom, and almost everyone from our group needed to go at the end so it just became a line, hehe. The service was very easy to work with and one of the waiters remembered exactly what I ordered, despite the fact that he was serving a group of 13! So I thought that was very impressive. I ordered huevos rancheros with verde sauce and a horchata--I really liked the horchata! The huevos rancheros was pretty decent, I just sometimes forget that I'm not a fan of drenched eggs and tortilla, but otherwise it was good.

I had a chile enogado here about 9 years ago and it was excellent-- I rated it 5. I have used it as a measure for years. Not so for my visit a few days ago. The chile enogado wasn't terrible. It was big, but the quality was mediocre. The enogado sauce was silky and good, but the pork relleno was lack lustre and low on flavor. The ingredients (fruit, nut, etc.) that I loved last time were sadly missing. It came with rice or plain spaghetti. Meh. The salad was huge and fresh, but not especially tasty. A few months ago, I came for a menu of the day. Plenty of food and it was attractive, but it lacked quality/flavor. Sadly, I rank el Tío Güero mediocre (not bad, just not good) and I won't be returning even though I live within walking distance and love the name...

We were so heartbroken that we only found this gorgeous bar and restaurant on our last night. The food looked incredible and I was gutted I’d already eaten. We did get some nachos and guacamole and it was really good, but I had food envy every time another table got something delivered. We saw a fabulous band and the atmosphere was so friendly and lively. Come for a gig if you can. The beer is some of the best I found in Mexico. They have a menu with a number of really good local craft beers and I honestly could have sat here happily for a few hours longer.

An unforgettable culinary experience! As a vegan of several years, visiting this vegan restaurant in Oaxaca was a delightful surprise that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the continuous and warm beauty of the place. The ambiance is simply charming, creating a cozy environment that invites you to relax and savor the food. The kindness of the people working there further enhances the experience. Juan, our server, was exquisite in his attention. I don't know who he is, but he clearly loves what he does, and his passion is reflected in every detail, from his recommendations to his willingness to explain each dish. In addition to offering an exceptional gastronomic experience, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this vegan restaurant is also a social project. It's inspiring to see how such a wonderful place not only cares about providing delicious vegan food but also positively contributes to the community. As for the food, I tried several dishes, but the chocolates and mezcals stood out especially. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was a work of art in itself. The creativity in combining ingredients and the quality of the products used truly showcased the chef's skill and the restaurant's commitment to offering the best. I highly recommend to all food lovers, vegans or not, to visit this place when in Oaxaca. Not only will you enjoy a unique culinary experience, but you will also contribute to a social project worth supporting. This restaurant has left a lasting impression on me, and I'm confident that anyone who visits will also be enchanted. A culinary gem in the heart of Oaxaca!

Our mole cooking class with Victor was amazing! I loved how we got to go with him to the market, select ingredients and received so much information about each ingredient and historical context. Throughout the class he also did a great job engaging each participant and has us work together in a way that felt communal and not awkward when you meet new people/strangers. The class flowed so smoothly and casually that it felt like we were cooking at home in his own kitchen. I've taken many cooking classes before and they sometimes can feel rigid with instruction on how to cook "properly" but Victor created such a warm environment with instructions that allowed all of us to prep and cook in ways we felt comfortable with.

Fresh food market
Grocery store
Mercado de La Merced is a bustling covered market in Mexico, known for its wide variety of offerings. At the entrance and exit, women from the countryside sell an array of produce and traditional items. Inside, visitors can find tamale dough, queso fresco, Oaxacan oregano, tasajo beef, and different varieties of Oaxacan chocolate. The market also features food stalls offering delicious Mexican cuisine like tlayudas.
I liked this place. More of a local vibe and less tourists. The food court is great for breakfast. We just picked a table and ordered from whatever restaurant it was. We had the enchiladas verdes and chilaquiles verdes. Both tasty and set us on the way for our day.

This is my favorite local market. It’s small but has everything you need. You can get cheese, salsa, meats, spices, gelatin, mole, snacks, flowers, teas and tortillas. It’s a great place to grab an orange juice or green juice, get breakfast at Fonda San Diego, or Florecita, or antojitos. There’s also a ATM outside.

A super clean and organized market with a nice food area. We enjoyed seeing the vendors and eating at a restaurant inside. Definitely one of the cleanest markets we have seen.

This is my favourite market in Oaxaca, offering many authentic local food and fresh fruits. We bought tamale, tejate, champurrado, dominion bananas, guavas, mangoes, papaya, huitlacoche(corn smut), and we enjoyed them all. The market opens early around 7am. I would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Oaxaca.

Nestled in the eastern part of Centro, Onnno Lonchería is a casual spot offering delectable sandwiches, salads, and American breakfast favorites like french toast and yogurt parfaits. Originally a grab-and-go sandwich shop, it has evolved into a place for connection and conversation. The owners draw from their culinary background in Chiapas and experience in various locations to create a menu that puts a fresh spin on traditional Mexican lunch dishes.
Super cute cafe with excellent food. I had a breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese bacon and arugula on a fantastic bun. Plus a very tasty latte. All at a great price. Staff spoke English (which was helpful since my Spanish is only toddler-level). Will definitely return.

By far one of the best spots in Oaxaca. The bakery on Calle Morelos is great too. Would recommend the ham sandwich at the bakery. Huge fan of the maple latte too. The remodel of the restauraunt took my by surprise but it is so unique.

I've been obsessed with this restaurant for a while, from the perfect pastries to the great food and drinks, they excel at everything that they do. My favorite salad used to be the caesar until they took it off the menu but I got to try their ensalada de la casa which became my favorite and honestly it's one of the best salads I've had! Their burger and their sandwiches are really good too, but their pastries are on another level. They make a delicious banana bread that's my mom's favorite and I lovee their lemon and blueberry cake. Came back after the remodel and still love it! The service is always lovely and so is the place.

I was in Oaxaca for a total of 3 days and my partner and I came to Onnno once a day. This place was a 10/10 for everything, the vibe, the food, the drinks, the service. It also had the best chili oil that they offer when you order food! The pictures should speak for themselves. The guava pastry is a limited time item and it was the best fruit flavored pastry I’ve ever had and I live in NYC. Super spacious and vibe-y spot and very tourist friendly as their employees speak perfect English. The bbq pork sandwich is a must try, it’s so flavorful and the taste is so unique!

There’s a waitlist for a table on a Sunday morning. The mini lemon + blueberry cake (only on Sundays, 80 pesos) was not mini at all, it was pretty decently sized. The crust was a little tough, the cake wasn’t very moist upon you reach the blueberry jam core. The chai latte was not bad. The chicken sandwich was huge, buttery, cheesy and sinfully delicious. Chicken thighs were perfectly grilled and marinated. Portions were on the bigger side.

The limited seating includes a long shared table where patrons can enjoy the flaky bites while watching the bakers in action. This farm-to-table bakery harvests its own grain once a year and exclusively uses it for their bread, ensuring that each batch is made from their homegrown grains. They also import cream and butter from New Zealand.

Good spot to grab some pastries. I got there about 1.5 hours after they opened and there was still a bunch of pastries left. They were out of one (I’m guessing their most popular) but I still had plenty of options to choose from. I got a galleta and one of the cinnamon buns. The galleta was good, I wish it didn’t have all the peanut butter and strawberries on top and was just plain. The cinnamon buns was my favorite of the two. I recommend coming here within the first 2 hours they open if you want a wide selection. The communal table was full when I arrived so I took mine to go. Cost for the pastries was 88…not too bad.

The rhubard danish has to be the most beautiful pastry I have had in my life, and it was very good as well. They seem to be decorating all the pastries "for here", so if you don't want cream, flower powder, or what not added, you need to say in advance. I thought the additions tasted good, were a nice touch and added to the experience. We also had the cardamom bun: it was good, but not as good as the rhubarb danish. I recommend trying the hot chocolate with water: it's traditional and thick enough without milk. There is wifi if you need it, the code is available on the table inside.

Cute little coffee shop with a simple but good breakfast selection. Chilaquiles, waffles, sandwich, smoothies. Generous portion and fruits are really fresh. I had breakfast here a few times and my favorite is the waffle w fruits @79pesos.

Disappointment in the coffee and the experience We ordered a cold brew,which is priced 20 more than a normal coffee. Rather than an actual cold brew, the coffee was a warm filter coffee poured over ice with water added. Not sure why you pay more nor why a proper cold brew is not given. If they had run out, they should have said so

*Update - The owner's response speaks volumes about why the service in this place is so bad. I ordered en español, I live in Mexico and always order in español since I'm well aware that it is rude to assume that Mexicanos would speak inglés. However the male employee didn't listen to me, nor care to mention that he did not understand my question. I specifically asked if I could pay additional for a doble *en español*. He looked annoyed, and only said "No" multiple times, I was definitely not offered any other options. I honestly have no idea if this place is just an awful coffee shop, or if the service is just really bad... I asked if anything had doble espresso other than just a doble shot of espresso, he said no. I asked if it was possible to pay additional to have doble espresso in a latte or something, and he said no. That seems very basic of a coffee shop. I got a galleta (for 40 pesos!) And left. Other places have better cookies for half the price, and better coffee for much less too.

When visiting Oaxaca, indulging in the local specialty, Chocolate de Oaxaca - La Soledad, is a must. This traditional hot chocolate is uniquely prepared with water rather than milk and pairs perfectly with sweet bread known as pan de nata. Locals often enjoy this delightful beverage in the morning, and for an extra treat, consider ordering it with almonds for added flavor. The experience at La Soledad stands out due to its warm service and inviting atmosphere.

Wasn’t sure at first about this place, given the look of it, but so glad we stayed and tried - the barista was very knowledgeable and proud of the beans she curated, shared her knowledge and brewed our coffees right at our table. I also loved that she poured herself a small sip of what she brewed for us, like we were sharing in the experience with her. And the mango smoothie my kid ordered was a hit.

Nono Café is a charming coffee spot located in the heart of Oaxaca, just a block away from the historic Santo Domingo. Despite its small size, it offers an extensive menu showcasing the region's coffee culture with a wide variety of 100% Oaxacan extractions. Whether you're a connoisseur in search of unique single-origin beans or simply love a delightful blend, Nono Café has something for everyone.
They care a lot about their coffee. When you ask for a pourover, they will let you smell the dry aroma of the ungrounded beans (which I certainly do not have the nose to differentiate much between the beans ;). The pourover was brewed well, a rarity for cafes. Art on the cappuccino was great. The recommended brownie, bread pudding, and sandwich (not pictured) were all delicious. The coffees come from Oaxaca or more distant but still Mexican regions. They care a lot about local single origin coffee, which is wonderful for me as a tourist looking for local coffee beans to taste! This cafe is a rare combination of good pourover + baked goods, if I’m back in the area, I would drop by again.

A casual, intimate, coffee shop with quality specialty coffee used in both their espresso based drinks and pour overs. They have several types of desserts, but no food menu. There are four small round tables that can accommodate two-three people and a small bar for 3-4 people. The service is excellent and strong WiFi is available. There is a lot of natural light and airflow. I loved the profile of the Marsellesa pour over: a complex palette of flavors were evenly balanced from beginning to end and full bodied. The grind was a bit fine, in my opinion, but it worked. The presentation with mineral water is always appreciated. The typica-bourbon Americano was full bodied and pleasant to drink. Both coffees had mild acid and were toasted medium. Before I left, the barista let me try a variety called Costa Rica that they used in a competition the day before. It was excellent as well, especially the clean finish. Thank you! The natural ginger and lime soda, made in house was so refreshing. It was on the tart side, but just enough and not too sweet; perfect! I would rate Nono as in my top three specialty coffee shops that I have visited thus far in Oaxaca; a strong 4.8 overall.

We enjoyed every minute of our visit, except for the chairs, which were a bit uncomfortable. Despite being small, the café has a lot of charm and feels very cozy. This place truly made my trip to Oaxaca special and easily ranks among the best cafés I’ve visited.

Coffee shop
Café Brújula is a popular coffee spot with several locations in Oaxaca. They are known for their fantastic espresso made from a Victoria Arduino hand-pull machine, as well as delicious pastries including handmade chocolate, cookies, and carrot cake. While some customers found the service to be very good and the coffee excellent, others mentioned that the employees were not particularly friendly.
Nestled in the Centro District of Oaxaca, right across from the stunning Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Café Brújula is a true gem for coffee lovers and travelers alike. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the café’s charming aesthetic—pink walls, beautifully designed black-and-white tile floors (featuring their logo!), and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed espresso and baked goods. The baristas at Café Brújula were incredibly kind and patient, even as I fumbled through my very limited Spanish. Their warmth made the experience even more enjoyable. I ordered a Dirty Chai paired with a Limón Galleta, while my friend opted for their Chocolate and Pistachio Croissant—both of which were absolutely delicious. We grabbed a high-top table and enjoyed our drinks while looking out over the bustling main square. The combination of great coffee, excellent pastries, and the vibrant atmosphere of Oaxaca made for a perfect café experience. If you find yourself in Centro Oaxaca, I highly recommend stopping by Café Brújula—it’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and soak in the city’s charm.

I ordered 4 mango smoothies over a course of a 10 day trip and the first smoothie I had was delicious, thick, icy frozen. After that first one they were all like mango milk, not icy or frozen. So for that the consistency was not good. The cafe has a great atmosphere and the staff are quite friendly.

Edit - adding the 5th star because the barista was nice and courteous. Great great coffee. They actually have a fantastic espresso machine - Victoria Arduino - hand pull. And what an espresso! The pastries are also muy delicioso. They have handmade chocolate, cookies, and carrot cake that flew off the shelves. My only gripe would be that the employees were not really cool. I mean, they were helpful and it’s not their job to spread kindness, but in all my travels I love the cafes where the people will chat. But no real big deal. The drinks and pastries were divine. And the location is perfect.

The cafe is opposite the church, a very beautiful location, the space is spacious and the drinks are delicious. There are many options for you both in terms of drinks and cakes.

Great little spot with a laid-back vibe and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I’ve enjoyed my coffee both in-house and to-go—definitely satisfying. The staff has always been friendly in my experience, despite a few salty reviews claiming otherwise. One reviewer was apparently shocked that you have to order at the counter—hilarious. Either they’ve never been to a café before or were expecting table service at a coffee shop. Wild times.

A year later and this place is still engraved in my memory. Right across from Santo Domingo you can grab some refreshing and delicious coffee as you stroll El Centro. Go here, and be happy.

(Translated by Google) The place is small. The food is delicious, it's just that the bread is a little porous and it takes a little while for what you ordered to arrive. In terms of service, I wouldn't say it's excellent, but it's okay, the girls are friendly. (Original) Es pequeño el lugar.

(Translated by Google) We loved this little cafe; it has a calm and welcoming vibe, good music, and great service. The presentation and flavor of their food were perfect, and it's worth mentioning that the price was very good. The Caprese salad was $60 and the exquisite enchiladas Suizas were $85. I highly recommend their bakery, as I ordered an apple strudel for $15 and a chocolate croissant for $18 to take out and was delighted. The quality and dedication to their pastries are evident. I will definitely stop by again during my current stay in Oaxaca. (Original) Nos encantó este cafecito, tiene una energía tranquila y acogedora, buena música y gran atención. La presentación y el sabor de su comida estaban en su punto perfecto, cabe decir que a muy buen precio. La ensalada capresse a 60$ y exquisitas enchiladas suizas por 85$. Recomiendo enormemente su panadería, ya que pedí para llevar un Struddel de manzana a $15 y un Croissant de chocolate por $18 y quedé encantada, se nota calidad y dedicación a sus masas. Definitivamente volveré a pasar en mi actual estadía por Oaxaca.

(Translated by Google) I come to visit Oaxaca every year and I look for delicious places to have breakfast, eat or have something to drink while I work, it is a quiet place, the coffee is delicious, the prices are affordable, I ordered a pink limonade and I thought it would be like all the pink lemonades, this one had a special flavor, the best I have ever tried.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Oaxaca, Cafeteria Salamandra is a hidden gem that promises delightful culinary experiences. This cozy eatery may be small, with just five tables, but it serves up an impressive array of dishes that are both flavorful and affordable. From their delicious Comida Corrida featuring squash soup and taquitos to mouthwatering enchiladas suizas and chilaquiles, every bite is crafted with care.
The best hamburguesa we had in Oaxaca City Centro. The owner spoke very good english. The food and aqua mineral naranja was great. Can't go wrong here for food.
Sheldon P — Google review
Really well prepared food at a reasonable price. We had the Comida Corrida - it consisted of squash soup with noodles, taquitos stuffed with chicken or cheese with guacamole, cabbage, and cheese on top, water of the day (today was orange & passion fruit) and a little jello cup to finish. Tasty, filling, made to order. Couldn't be better! All of this for $80 Mex ($6.22 Cad). Note that there are only 5 little tables. You might need to wait for a table; don't worry, it is worth the wait! We are going to go again tomorrow for breakfast!

A small, unassuming restaurant with incredible flavor. The enchiladas suizas were some if the best I've ever had. And the salsa picante had a great flavor! My friend's club sandwich was also fabulous. I'll be adding this to my list of best breakfast in Oaxaca!

If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Yucatán, make sure to indulge in a marquesita, a delightful Mexican twist on the classic crepe. These crispy treats are particularly beloved in cities like Mérida and Valladolid, where they are served up quickly and come with an impressive array of fillings. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while exploring!
