The friendliest service and highly creative drinks at a cute café in the Condesa neighborhood. At the top of my must-visit list, this clean café had a variety of unique and inventive coffee options, especially the dozen choices on their “café creativo” menu. However, for non-coffee drinkers, the options were more limited, which was a slight letdown. They did offer staples like chai and matcha lattes, with at least six matcha variations. We opted for the matcha coco and decided to try both the iced and hot versions.

Read moreIn a city with endless great cafes, Red Coffee may have just taken the crown for me. We had the oolong latte and matcha latte, two of the many inventive drinks on the menu, and both were delicious. The oolong in particular was like nothing I'd tried before. The cinnamon French toast was moist with just the perfect amount of egg-iness. The yogurt parfait was generously loaded with the juiciest berries. But the star of the show was the scallion pancake, which transported me back to my childhood in China. So happy to have discovered this place in my neighbourhood. Will definitely...
