“ Alondra was the BEST server. We did our best with our meager Spanish and she easily switched over to English and helped me order something delicious and safe for my dietary needs! Highly recommend! ”
“ Café Trucha is easily one of our favorite cafés in Mexico City. Everything they offer is made with such care and high-quality ingredients — from organic milk to their homemade almond milk, every detail feels thoughtful and intentional. The pastries and cakes are all made in-house by the chef, and they’re absolutely delicious — often decorated with fresh, beautiful edible flowers that make every dish feel special. The croissants and baked goods are some of the best we’ve had anywhere, and the cacao is truly outstanding. Their matcha (made with water) is also delicious and really highlights the quality of their ingredients. The staff are wonderful: kind, attentive, and always welcoming. You can really feel the love and passion behind everything they do. A little tip — grab a table in the sun right next to the door. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee and a pastry. Highly recommend this cozy, special place! ”
“ This cafe is trendy, clean, and most importantly locally sourced! Our server Axl was helpful and knowledgeable about the food and drink options for the day. We loved the pan de muerto and homemade baguettes specifically. They even crafted pumpkin art on the pumpkin spice latte! ”
“ Lovely atmosphere, perfect for a laid-back lunch. I had the anchovy toast and it was delightful. Outstanding service and recommendations by Axl. Pictures: Anchovy toast, vermouth w orange, and pumpkin cake. All 10/10! would recommend. ”
“ Place feels welcoming just by walking around. They have a unique cake (the one in the picture), which taste is absolutely incredible. Prices are fair for the quality of the food and beverages. Wi-fi is only available from Monday through Thursday, so if you’re doing some remote work this is definitely an aspect to be considered. Loved the atmosphere (and the cake!). Would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. ”
