Okay guys I usually don’t write negative reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one. I found the worst café in Mexico City, in my most beloved city in the world. It’s This place, Café Dharma. I’m staying right next-door and for 3 days every time I’ve walked by it the big garage roll up doors have been closed.

The owner Jonathan (the roaster), knows his coffee very well, and even though you might not be familiar with the concept of a specialty coffee he is more than keen to explain it to you. Further on the coffee, the coffee is very rich in flavor. I especially liked the medium-roast coffee from the Oaxaca region (chocolaty/nutty aromas)
