Bajo Sombra Café

$ | Benito Juárez Fodor's Choice

While it specializes in espresso, pour-overs, and other hipster coffee-lover delights, this café has more of a neighborhood vibe than many of its counterparts. Mexican coffee is its specialty, though it occasionally features standout imports as well. With just three tables and vinyl records for sale and constantly turning, it’s a friendly place to grab a coffee to go.

Mimo Café Bueno

Serving up caffeinated beverages in a variety of forms from all over the country, this attractive space maintains a chill vibe and attracts passersby looking for a beverage on the go. Sit at one of the three tables inside or two by the sidewalk, where you can expect to be serenaded by wandering buskers.

Té Cuento

$ | Benito Juárez Fodor's Choice

Looking out on vibrant Parque Tlacoqueméctal, this cozy, bright teahouse and eatery is run by an Argentine journalist and specializes in dozens of teas and infusions. It also doubles as a cultural space in the evenings, offering workshops on topics such as film and literature.

Almanegra Café

$ | Benito Juárez

As its name would suggest (it translates to "black soul"), you'll find lots of brooding music and black attire here. With two locations in Benito Juárez, the Narvarte Poniente spot was the first and is still the coziest, with just a small coffee counter and a few benches outside to sit along Avenida Universidad. Surrounded by hardware stores, it’s an interesting spot to take in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood.

Costra

$ | Benito Juárez

Fresh-baked bread, doughnuts, muffins, and croissants are eye-catching from the display just inside the window at Costra. With only a few seats inside, it is a cozy spot to catch up on some work or with a friend. Teas, sodas, and coffee are also enticing.
