Quiet coffee shops in Ciudad de Mexico
Some cafés in Ciudad de Mexico are built for conversation and turnover; others are built for staying put with a book. This guide is about the second kind: low music, spaced-out seating and staff who let you linger. Roasters currently counts 109 cafés in Ciudad de Mexico, #1 in Mexico.
Quiet cafés in Ciudad de Mexico tend to share a few things: smaller rooms with under 20 seats, music kept under conversation volume, and a kitchen that's either tiny or absent. The coffee program is the centre of attention, which means baristas dial in espresso slowly and don't run a fast brunch turnover.
