We sat inside on a Friday for brunch, it was a great experience. Service can be a bit slow, if you have time and are not rushed or hangry, you will love this spot in the middle a very busy downtown. We had the French toast and the Croque Monsieur and enjoyed both. I spent the entire morning working from there and never had an issue with noise, however the internet is not strong enough, I had to use my phone’s data most of the time. Their coffee is really good and strong (a must for us) Perfect for breakfast or for a break during the day!

Beautiful cafe and friendly staff, staffs was trying to help me to find local postcard, as I’m a world traveler and sending postcard home as a souvenirs wherever I go, they offer me postcard of their cafe! IG:postcardsfromkevin

Good service. Located right in front of the town Square. We only had drinks and we had a large party, which they accommodated us pretty quickly. Nice spot with tons of books and pretty large menu.

Our waiter Felix paid a lot of attention on us, fulfilled special wishes and had always a perfect smile for us. The food was exceptional and the juices excellent. The Chai Manzanas Canela is definitely worth a try.

I was in urgent need of a proper meal and I discovered this amazing place. I will place my flag!!! This is awesome!! For some reason this city doesn’t always have a good balance of service and food, but this place has it all!!! Congratulations!!!

Stopped by Cafe Michelena for an afternoon coffee, tea, and a sweet treat, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The service was quick and efficient, and everything we ordered was delicious. It’s a cozy spot to relax and enjoy a quality drink and dessert. If you’re in Morelia looking for a pleasant cafe experience, I’d definitely recommend Cafe Michelena!

This place is amazing! It’s located in the Morelia downtown cathedral area but on the side not facing it. I tried this on my last night in the city and felt disappointed I didn’t visit/found it before. Had a yummy iced Nutella coffee and my dad had a cacao hot chocolate which they brew. Highly recommend this one compared to the surrounding ones. They have lactose-free milk, almond and coconut milk if you would like a diary free option. Also if they read this please add oat milk to your menu! The pastries just as delicious and not over sugary. Also a shoutout to our Aurelio for being so knowledgeable and sweet.

Beautiful atmosphere and historic architecture. Great service and good food. Can’t say enough about how great it is to have a cup of coffee with some pastries with this view.
