Happy Monday~
This will be the last CDMX post for a bit. I apologize if you’re over this series… frankly I am excited to move on as well. But there are just too many great meals and places to visit in CDMX that I want to share them all and fully wrap up.
This post will be a long list for you to just save and hit if you ever visit. Cafes, bars, museums, galleries, and restaurants; we got em all today.
Cafes
Café Nin ($$)
Think Pandería Rosetta, but a cafe that leans more into the brunch vibe than their pastries. Still great pastries, but more of a sit-down brunch and lunch spot to enjoy a slower morning.
Niddo Cafe ($$)
This cafe is what LA cafes dream of looking like. Open-air concept, a beautiful interior that glows green from the dark emerald cladded tiles that the cafe is built with, great coffees, and bomb pastries; solid cafe in Juárez.
Qūentin Café ($)
There are three of these cafes scattered around CDMX. All rock a solid coffee program and cute spaces. You’ll probably see a bunch of ex-pats working remotely here so these cafes are best to just drop in for a coffee during the day while you’re running around CDMX.
Bars
Tokyo Music Bar ($$$)
CDMX has a small Little Tokyo-esque area in between north Roma Norte and Juárez thanks to Edo Lōpez who started a restaurant group that has brought a series of Japanese restaurants to CDMX. Tokyo Music Bar is one of their bars that focuses on vinyl-playing DJ’s, a sexy vibe, and high-end cocktails.
I thought the cocktails were mid. They were NYC-priced cocktails and were the highest-priced cocktails on the trip. Paying higher prices for a well-made drink with high-quality components isn’t an issue. But paying these prices for a sub-par drink is meh. I’d still go to check it out though; the vibe is correct and the music was great.
