“ First time trying atole and the champurrado was tasty. It was served very hot and the 4 cocoas just added a nice texture and extra taste. Beautiful space. ”
“ I really enjoyed this for breakfast. The 3 maize blend with a little sugar was recommended and I got it twice because I enjoyed it so much. The pastries next door are also a great find. Delicious! ”
“ This place was absolutely amazing!! We walked in with a big group and they accommodated us with some extra seating. The service was the absolute best--the guy that welcomed us kindly asked if we'd prefer English. When we told him we wanted to practice our Spanish, he talked us to in Spanish but then switched to English when he wanted to make sure we understood. He was very patient with us when we were asking him certain questions about the drinks we were considering. The drinks we ordered included chocolate-atole, some hot chocolate drinks, and a hibiscus drink. We also got a croissant with almonds I think. I LOVED the hibiscus drink, it was really refreshing after a hot day, and they put in a little bit more sweetener per my request. The vibe of the place is really cozy, simplistic, and neat. There's a lot of ingredients they have out on display, and it just felt like a perfect place to hang out and have a sweet drink. ”
“ I can’t speak to the atole here, but I loved the atmosphere, decore, and espresso! They also had several corn-based, gluten-free pastries. I enjoyed the almond bun ”
“ This place is a must to taste the authentic maize drinks of Oaxaca. Great service with an explanation as we did the 4 sample tasting. Adjacent bakery is very good as well so you can order & bring over to enjoy with the maize drinks of your choice or coffee. Great vibe, very authentic & true to the local heritage. ”
“ This is a perfect place to drink atole. I noticed that it might also be a place to do some work in the evening and still enjoying atole and sweet bread. Atole is usually drunken in the morning or evening, but this place gives that vive of getting to grab atole any time regardless of the heat because they also offer cold atole. My favorite flavors were coconut, maiz azul, amaranth, mango, yes! I went several days in a row . ”
“ You have to come and try the atole. I am mexican and have tried atole before and this is reaaaaally good. My german boyfriend had never tried it before and he loved it. Our favourite was the tortilla one. My dad drank atole as a kid everyday and even he loved this one ”
“ Great place to try Atole, a pre Hispanic drink made of corn - plus some baked goods from their bakery next door. We had two Atoles, one with 3 types of corn and another with 4 types of cocoa - and enjoyed both (plus a freshly made savory pastry!). The personnel was also incredibly friendly - they let us try some Atoles before deciding which one(s) to order and recommended us which pastries to order. Plus they showed us around the place, which is really pretty and tasteful. ”
