Zenteno Café - 37700 San Miguel de Allende

Great place to take a breakfast! Good service :) the waiter is very kind! The prices are ok. I recommend it!

It rained heavily all night long, and I fell asleep to waking dreams of falling water, secret shelter, and that wistful feeling of existing right on the edge of breaking through to so many quiet desires.... I awoke to a bright, grey day. The rain had stopped and looking out from my rooftop terrace in the cool of the morning I watched low clouds skirting along the mountains to the south and east, and I was filled with a desire to walk the city. But now, once again, San Miguel is raining. The cobblestone streets are dancing with passing cars, scurrying footsetps, and the constant pitter-patter of small rivulets making music in counterpoint to the ebbing grey skies. Wet and wandering, I found the perfect little coffee shop where I am nursing a latté y croissant. ¡What a lovely morning! There's a pretty girl sitting next to me, also quietly watching the falling rain, probably thinking of someone special, probably also writing a review of Zenteno, as am I; I think I may be too shy to say hello. *Blushes* I think it's the perfect time for another latte...

The Best Coffee that I've ever tried in San Miguel de Allende. Is you're looking for a good taste coffee then this corner will be your favorite place. It's a little refuge for coffee lovers, and the owner definitely knows how a good coffee must looks, smell and tastes.

this is our go to store for all of the coffee that we purchase in San Miguel de Allende..the atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff demonstrate their commitment to quality..whether we drink a coffee there at the store or bring the beans to our home for our daily ritual, our experience is quality..we only go here for our coffee purchases and are so pleased at the very top quality that is available..the baked goods are delicious ..

Unfortunately I had one of the worst experiences of my life here…. After going here for many years. Staff highly abusive. The owners do not respond to emails no one replies to the Instagram please avoid this place. Go to Kibok instead.

Since the plan was to stay six weeks in San Miguel, and I can’t live without good coffee, I embarked on an adventure to try and find a place that has the best roasted beans to go. First I tried Inside Café, which three months ago had excellent coffee. Sadly this time around the in-house coffee quality had gone downhill drastically, and at USD $60 per kilo, I wasn’t about to buy the minimum of a quarter kg to try it out at home. Then I tried café La Mancha, and they sold me beans that were a month old and had lost their mojo. Then I bought some beans from Cumpanio, as their in-house latte was delicious. Unfortunately the beans that they sold me were rather old, and again the coffee at home was unacceptably sub par. Finally, at a friends recommendation I get some beans from this place, but not before smelling them and making sure that they were freshly roasted. When I prepared a latte at home, I had a big grin on my face: finally good coffee to be had in SMA!

They take time to prepare their coffee and you can taste the difference. Pound of ground coffee is about $8.50 or so which is not bad. They also asked me for what type of grind I preferred, other places just offer fine ground.

Great little coffee shop. Have gotten multiple types of coffee and enjoyed a tarte as well. The only thing I didn't love thus far was the chai tea (I prefer mine a bit spicier) and the quiche was undercooked. The staff are lovely!
