Nathan, Honestly, couldn’t stop looking at you bro, you are one handsome dude… Enjoy cdmx i live in xalapa and I also love my city,,, you should come to visit sometime… Take care J.
Cumbe was awesome. Barista's were super friendly too. In hindsight (now that I've tried more coffees over the past ~6 months), the coffee experience was probably the best I had
look how american tourists are making every major city in the world look like a copy cat of ny and those little silly coffee shops spawning in every corner of those trendy neighborhoods boooooriiiiing
As a local I always see foreigners staying in condesa and la Roma; while they are the "safe" option they are a tiny fraction of what the city has to offer. Places like the cities centre or Coyoacán's centre are some recommendations, but I'm sure that the real gold is in the nooks and crannies of the city!
currently there's no store front -- it's a start up. he has a cart and also sells cold brew blend online. follow them on insta at @westafricanfarmersinitiative
No idea but my guess is most machines have built in softening/filtration systems. You won't (shouldn't...) get sick from the coffee/any drink with water in it
You can pretty much visit any time of the year because it’s so close to the equator (meaning consistent weather all year round). In the more touristy parts, staff know English. In less touristy, they may or may not. Either way, don’t let that stop you. There are many other ways to speak with someone other than language :) enjoy!
No, they do not speak english at all, its very hot, sepia colors all over, etc etc...hahaha...you probably should stick to london, helsinki, vancouver , etc. Yes, grey colors.
