El moka es delicioso. No hay enchufes para poder trabajar. Baños limpios.

El lugar es relativamente pequeño y aunque está muy cerca del tráfico no hay tanto ruido. La atención es buena y rápida y el café estaba bueno. El capuchino quedó muy bueno. Eso sí, recomiendo que cambien el material donde sirven las tazas de los filtrados. Es un material más como plástico que rompe con el disfrute del café de especialidad. Tienen una decente variedad de granos de café y tristemente cuando fui sólo tenían prensa francesa, entonces se pierden muchas oportunidades. El pan es rico, en especial las conchas. Muy buenas y recomendables. El lugar en general es recomendable aunque no hay mucho por visitar a los alrededores.

Un buen lugar para disfrutar café de especialidad a sur de la ciudad. Son muy amables y rápidos para atender. Convenientemente cerca de la zona de hospitales, pero un poco ruidoso por la ubicación, cerca de Tlalpan y Periférico.

El café es rico porque es de especialidad. Pedí un frappé de café, pero yo creo que lo hicieron con una licuadora qué no estaba limpia, porque sabía a coco. Entonces el frappé era de café con coco. Igual me gustó aunque no era lo que pedí.
