Condesa Barra De Café - 97000 Mérida

Best coffee we had in the Yucatán Peninsula!

Great iced latte, best I’ve had in Merida!

Good coffee but waffles are not fresh, but out of the package and microwaved. Also, there were tables inside but no AC and outside in the middle of a line for people to get their pension, not to mention the courtyard was kind of dirty with mosquitoes and pigeons for companions. Much better options available in Mérida.

Excellent coffee. Outdoor seating is nice, communal area with a good breeze. But this place is all about the coffee, which is top notch.

Coffee and hot chocolate were fine. Alleyway is gloomy. Waffles were pale, flacid, warmed over pieces of sponge rubber. Avoid.

Coffee so smooth you should try it. Place is a little bit loudy because of transit.

4/10 - may revisit, but only out of necessity. There are several things about this place I like, and unfortunately an important one I did not like. Like: - Unexpected refill - person with a carafe walking around - Breezy outdoor seating - even great during the day @ noon - Medium internet speeds - see pic of 32 up/16 down speeds - Buzzy atmosphere - if you feel like you'd like to be around a chatty group of locals this is a nice place to visit. At noon on a Monday I was the only person who looked like a visitor. - Hot coffee. Often the coffee I receive in Mexico is tepid. Dislike: - Indifferent staff who played with their phone for the first minute I waited at the ordering counter. I even asked to confirm I was at the correct counter for ordering. - Change for my cash payment. I am unsure what influenced the counter person to provide me with 48 peso in change-change. I saw in the cash drawer bills, but I instead walked away with a pocket of heavy change. It's on me that I didn't push back and request bills. However, I've never in my life done so and It was an uncomfortable "should I?" moment. - Messy back of the store. You could see a pile of used dishes behind the counter. Overall: If you are looking for a lively coffeeshop experience this may be a good fit. Be prepared for a questionable service atmosphere. In regards to working from the location, it's not so bad if you wear headphones. The internet can be used for non-video call activities. I hope this helps. If you are looking for Merida food options I have left several Merida food reviews you can see on my profile.

Went here for a quick afternoon break, enjoying their waffle churros and a blueberry “Italian soda”. The Italian soda was slightly on the sweet side and arguably a bit artificial, but I liked the addition of some fresh forest fruit. The waffle churros weren’t particularly memorable, but on the plus side: priced accordingly.
