Elefante Sabio Café — Restaurant in Jalisco

Update as I am back in GDL and back here for my favorite breakfast and coffee in the neighborhood I am staying in. This morning I had the same parfait and coffee and it was great as the last time! The paintings have changed as they rotate but the food and service is great as before! Highly recommend for great coffee, food, service and ambiance. This is from Jan 3, 2022!

I was staying in the neighborhood on a brief trip to GDL. I found this cafe while just walking around the neighborhood. The place is nicely decorated with elephant themed artwork. I had a parfait and coffee and both were excellent! The coffee was so good that I decided to buy some whole bean coffee to bring back home with me.

Our waiter was great. Very attentive and pleasant.

Highly recommended other than...

This place surprised me by how tasty everything is. The Enrijoladas are very different than the traditional Enriholadas. They're made with nopales (cactus) and cheese with sliced radish on top.

The staff were amiable and happily helped me through my broken Spanish. Their coffee is also something worth mentioning. Not many places offer you the option of how you'd like your coffee brewed and then filtered. Elefante has it all! I will be back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a laid-back coffee shop where you can just be in your own world with little...
