LOU Brew Bar — Restaurant in Mexico City

Great service and delicious beverages at this cozy café on the edge of the Condesa neighborhood. As soon as we walked in, we were instantly acknowledged. We placed our order and chose to sit outside at the small, red camper with a neat setup. While we waited for our drinks, a barista brought us water (bonus points for that).

We ordered a chai latte with oat milk (Oatly), a mocha, and a kouign-amann. The chai was one of the best I’ve had—perfectly balanced and not too sweet, with the Oatly adding a nice touch to round out the flavor. The kouign-amann was solid, though nothing particularly special about it.

The cozy café, combined with the vibe of the outdoor seating, made it a lovely spot to spend an afternoon enjoying a drink and conversation. Although the seating wasn’t the most comfortable, the atmosphere more than made up for it. Prices were very fair, with $60 for the chai and an additional $15 for the Oatly.

Overall, it was such a great find, and I’m glad I finally came across this very...

LOU is very nice and clean inside with a cute outside seating area. It is small but the focus is on the authenticity of the coffee. Also, the owners and workers are extremely friendly and one spent the time to give me more information about Condesa, including a book and music suggestion.

I highly recommend all tourists and natives pay it a visit for no frills delicious coffee...

The baristas make a real effort to ensure that the coffee is dialed in correctly, especially given that Mexico City has multiple climates throughout the day. I HIGHLY recommend stopping here for a really great...
