Cucurucho Café

Wow, incredible horchata latte!!! One of the best ones I’ve tried in the city and I’ve tried a lot so far. Next time I would get it with an extra shot of espresso for a bit of a stronger coffee taste cause it is sweet with just 1. But incredible and I will be returning!

This is our go-to spot for specialty coffee to go. We absolutely love their coffee, and on weekends, it's the perfect place for a walk and to enjoy your cup there.

“Average” is the word that summarizes Cucurucho. This café feels more like a take-away spot, which is a bummer because the inside space, packed with refrigerators, could have been a nice area to enjoy your beverage. The service was indeed average—I didn’t feel anything special, and it felt more like a transaction than an experience. They even asked for a tip, despite the coffee being for take-away, which felt a bit off. The biggest disappointment was the limited milk options, with only almond milk available as an alternative (aside from lactose-free milk). Another odd detail was how they served my beverage without a lid, and I had to turn around to the other side of the café to grab one. These small annoyances really diminished the overall experience. There are chairs outside the café, but during Mexico City’s summertime, sitting outside without any covering isn’t ideal unless you want to get soaked. My chai latte with lactose-free milk was a tad sweeter than I would have liked, but it was nothing special. The chai was $70 (+$5 for lactose-free milk), which is average for the area. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy my chai in the café, but the lack of seating was a bummer. On a positive note, I liked the design of the coffee cup, which was the only thing that stood out from Cucurucho.

Great coffee to go, wasn’t the biggest fan of the outdoor seating area since that’s not really their main focus (it seems).

Great coffee and you can sit on the various benches outside. Unfortunately many items on the menu like paistries were not available. More like a order, grab and go, kind of place
