Blend station
An espresso bar and breakfast/lunch spot attached to a cycle shop; two things that go hand in hand. It is laptop-friendly, so perfect for creatives, and dog-friendly—indoor and outdoor seating options for those who like to have a choice.
Five locations across Roma, Polanco, Veracruz, and Countess
Café Comunidad
CondesaAn excellent space for remote working as this café has an indoor casual seating area or enjoy their terrace or large patio and you’ll be glad to hear their are plenty of plugs for when the laptop battery is getting low.
This café is connected to Blanco Yoga, one of CDMX’s most popular yoga studios, so why not enjoy those morning rays with your dose of caffeine followed by some Vinyasa to set up your day with good intentions.
Qūentin café
Roma Norte, Condesa, Roma Sur, JuárezSpeciality coffee (the place for quality coffee) and pastries in this trendy neighbourhood café. A perfect spot to grab a coffee on your morning walk or to catch up with friends at the weekend. Qūentin coffee shops are small so although you will find the odd laptop out during the week there isn't a great deal of space so I’d leave this place for quality coffee to enjoy at your leisure.
Panaderia Rosetta
we visited multiple times while in CDMX. An absolute must if you love nothing more than a pastry and coffee to start your day from Latin America's most famous female chef Elena Reygadas. Mexico might not be famous for its pastries but given Elena trained at a French Culinary Institute in NYC, it’s no surprise you will find her flaky and irresistible pastries in each of her premises in CDMX. Read more about this dreamy little spot here.
Panaderia Rosetta
Café Nin
Juárez, Hipódromo (between Roma & Condesa)This is a more casual restaurant in comparison to Elena Reygadas' other restaurants Lardo and Rosetta. That said, it is very chic and you can still enjoy an aesthetic space with dishes that are just as tantalising. Of course, you can enjoy their famous pastries but here you can expect tapas-style dishes and of course, Italian cuisine, given that she spent her formative years at a Michelin-star Italian restaurant in London.
Malcriado
Condesathis café come wine bar has seating that spills out onto the pavement. A specialty coffee shop, by day you will see laptop warriors but by evening you will see a hip crowd enjoying their Mediterranean menu. Takes reservations at: https://malcriado.mx/
