Amá Terraza

We came here for breakfast and it was absolutely incredible! Delicious food with amazing flavor. Great fresh vegan and vegetarian options as well. We are here for the rest of the week and will be bringing our family to come try it, too! Thank you to Mar, Meli, Sam and Tam! Excellent service and very friendly and accommodating to my Spanish practicing, too! Haha

Everything about this place is perfection. The servers, the atmosphere and the food. We’ve been here three days in a row and are never disappointed. The espresso is remarkable too! Everything we’ve eaten is fresh and delicious. All the people working here are so kind and accommodating. Carla was our wonderful server today, but everyone who has helped us has been fantastic! Thanks you para todos :)

Love this place so much that I went twice in a row. Best roof top terrasse with great cocktail and food, also great for afternoon coffee. Super nice shop and plenty of lovely plants. My favourite place in Oaxaca!

Stumbled up to this rooftop to get some remote work done during a warm afternoon. The rooftop is lovely with lots of greenery, birds flying in and out, and a lovely view of the mountains. I sat inside under the shade near the kitchen and bar. The service was absolutely impeccable, my drinks and food came quickly, they checked on me as appropriate, and we’re happy to translate and explain the menu. They have lovely natural wines that are local, as well as an extensive cocktail, tea, coffee, Mezcal, and even a Oaxacan chocolate menu. I had two glasses of the natural white wine as well as a tostada with cauliflower ceviche utilizing local ingredients, such as Aztec broccoli and multiple chilies. They have quite a large menu for being a casual rooftop bar with everything from vegan to pork on the menu. I will definitely come back to try more dishes. I ended up enjoying my table until after sunset. I appreciate that they do not allow laptop use after 4 PM to keep the space quiet and relaxing and focused on the moment. I saw people playing cards and enjoying drinks for many hours. I would definitely recommend this rooftop bar in Central Oaxaca. The prices were reasonable, but definitely on the higher side for Mexico with cocktails being around eight to $10 US and the food between four and $10 US. In my opinion, the quality was well worth it for the experience!

Beautiful restaurant with amazing views up on their rooftop. We got some amazing pictures. I had the green chilaquiles and they were a good size portion and super yummy! My mom had the omelette and my dad los huevos rancheros divorciados. I would definitely be back and recommend to anyone visiting.

What a gem. Beautiful building, good food and drinks and for a reasonable price. Staff is very friendly (was attended by Mar) and already had breakfast and lunch here and will probably be back for breakfast on my last day as well. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was a great experience. We were assisted by Mar who was very attentive and in great spirits. Our favorite item was far and away the Panque de Platano (Banana Bread). Their drinks didn’t disappoint either as we tried the espresso and Golden Milk Latte. Highly recommend this to anybody looking for a coffee or tea in Oaxaca. Not to mention the aesthetic of the place is beautiful.

Great terrace!! Coffee is ok - not my favorite, but the chilaquiles and avocado toast are great. What I like most about this terrace is that you can go at any time during the day - from brunch to drinks in the evening! Such a relaxing place to work as well.

5 Star Deliciousness, it was the perfect stop to relax after flying all night & we stopped here on way before flying heading back home to Los Angeles. Very fresh , ambiance beyond expectations with great healthy choices. The orange boost and red boost very good. Just what we needed to keep our immune system strong while traveling.

Muss Café is a must-visit breakfast spot in Oaxaca! The rooftop setting offers stunning views of downtown Oaxaca, making it the perfect place to start your day. The food is fresh and flavorful, and you can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely morning. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a view!

Amazing rooftop for coffee and breakfast. Gorgeous views. Striking greenery. Delicious drinks. Friendly service. Super enjoyed my smoothie bowl and iced mocha. My friends delighted in their drinks as well.

Nice spot for coffee and breakfast. I had the chia pudding which was beautiful and very filling, and a regular latte, and my bf had the pan Frances ( french toast) and Respiratirio tea (I messed that up), which was really good Anna reminiscent of a medicine ball to aid your cold/flu symptoms. Food was tasty and very healthy feeling and the latte and tea were just as expected. Service was good, some English is spoken if your Spanish is limited. The little shop is cute but the patio is beautiful. Unfortunately you don't get access to that unless you're a guest of the hotel, at least that was add our experience. Also, for every spot we went you have to ask for the check or pay at the counter. They don't bring the check to you.

This is my fourth time coming to Muss. I love coming here becuase the service is great, it's a cute spot to have some drinks with friends, and the food is yummy. I love going to sit on the third floor terrace. I am giving it 4 stars becuase on my recent visit one of my favorite drinks did not have the same taste. Every time I ordered it it tasted different. But other than that if you are visiting Oaxaca or need a cute spot to hang I would recommend Muss.

We had breakfast at Muss Cafe and it was very good and the coffee was great. Our server was very attentive.

I journey from Los Angeles to Long Beach just for their matcha latte. Nobody does it better, and the staff at the counter are super cool.

What a find... Perfect coffee, ambience and in house baked goods along with mezcal's wines, liquors. The vibe here is pretty chill & relaxing. I discovered that they have a roof top area, maybe a concoction of different restaurants.. I don't know. The lushness the vibe the relaxation, it's the only deal spot to stop get your morning cuppa. The staff are efficient helpful and patient with us despite our poor Spanish.

Really nice spot with a great ambiance! They have lots of seating here (inside, outside, and upstairs - although unfortunately when I was there the patio was closed), as well as decent wifi if you need to get work done. Most of the staff here speak English, and they accept card as well! They have pastries, as well as small cafe bites. I got an iced mocha latte which was very good!

My friend, who is an expert at finding cute coffee shops, found Cafe Muss. We came here twice on our trip. This little coffee shop has a beautiful rooftop oasis. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. I enjoyed the mocha on both trip and it feels like there's authentic chocolate. It offers a nice little punch. The fruit bowl is decent and the breakfast sandwich is good. I definitely recommend coming here to check out the roof top spot.

Ask for the rooftop café, it's amazing. Great service, and prices, good coffee. The huevos dishes are very tasty.

Good strong coffee centrally located. Staff very nice, respectful and friendly. Clean, modern and charming space. Lovely spot to take a coffee break!

Muss Cafe has a pretty good thing going. It's in a beautiful space with a cool, outdoor courtyard, plus a gorgeous but hot patio upstairs (which is connected to Muss Cafe but maybe technically has a different name and menu?). The food skews "gentrified traveler" with chia and cocoa nibs gracing anything and everything. It's all pretty good, but I'd say it's mostly about the serenity, scene, and easy accessibility than the food itself.

Best coffee in Oaxaca in beautiful setting. The rooftop is amazing and service is great

This is a fabulous little cafe that has no only amazing coffee drinks but also great food. During my stay, I came here about 3 times and tried various dishes off their menu -- açaí bowls, fresh juices, coffees, pastries and everything was super fresh and tasty. Prices were also super reasonable for such an aesthetic, popular place. Seating is very limited as it is a tiny spot so expect to wait. Not the best place to just grab and go but if you have some time worth coming to visit!

I really wanted to love this place. The place is really pretty with all its greenery and decor. Pros: Beautiful interior and exterior One staff member was really sweet and offered us bee repellent which seemed to work ...for a minute Cons: My drink was lukewarm almost cold and definitely not hot. Food was bland. Nothing special or ordinary. I asked for everything on the side for one order but everything came mixed together. The bees in the terrace made it nearly impossible to enjoy a meal or even our drinks. We were completely swarmed with bees and the occasional flies. One staff member was really dry and almost seemed annoyed that I asked for plain milk Sad to say I wouldn't come back here.

Our initial plan was to pop in to Muss Cafe to grab a quick to-go coffee, but "pop in", we did not. Once we discovered the hidden oasis upstairs, we were so enchanted that we couldn't leave without sitting down for a cup of coffee. It was such a darling place that we came back two days in a row. Positive notes: + Loved the ambiance and the lush greenery. The loveliest way to start the morning! + The staff is gracious, patient, and helpful + Food is fresh + Small boutique at the register with cute tchotchkes Areas for improvement: - Although the food is fresh, I wouldn't call it delicious. I had a fruit bowl with coconut yogurt on the first day that just didn't hit the spot. The breakfast sandwich I had in the 2nd day was a better choice. - Their coffee had great presentation, but it was not very strong. We found that we had to get multiple cups to satiate our caffeine needs. Bottom line is that this is a cute cafe to start off your day in the right direction. Come for the vibes, but be warned about the coffee!

Muss Cafe is a coffeeshop/cafe next to the main entrance of Casa Antonieta, where we just spent six nights on a visit to Oaxaca. (A lot of the pictures posted to this business are actually of Ama Terraza, which is the terrace bar/restaurant on the third floor of Casa Antonieta). We stopped by a few times for an afternoon espresso. The cafe is gorgeous, the coffee is great, and the service is great. (It isn't just a coffeeshop, it also has drinks, wine, pastries, and breakfast.) It's definitely a great stop if you're looking for a coffee or a drink in the area!

Hit and miss tho. We went there they said it's a 30 minute wait and no one was up there. You can see the empty patio. Then we realized the kitchen isn't open so that's what was not communicated. There is a young male server that's great but the second time we came it was a female server there is no attention to detail like bringing soup without a spoon. We asked for salt and pepper and they never brought it and we had to go get it. Customer service and communication needs to be better.

Lleven traductor o aprendan inglés, de otra forma no recibirán la atención deseada. Una lástima que un lugar en pleno Oaxaca tengas esa actitud.

Whoa, this place is so neat, the downstairs inner area is super cool/temperature cool, and the upstairs has ncie views of Oaxaca! It's a hotel but they let guests go upstairs. The coffee is watered downed according to my friend but the teas are nice. The bathroom is defintiely super nice with their multi ply toilet paper and super thick paper towels. Super clean place.

This was the first place we ate at on our first trip to Oaxaca. The food was delicious and the rooftop view was beautiful! Everything about this place was great, including the service. I would definitely come back here again. Drinking coffee while enjoying the view of the mountains was spectacular.

This is a cozy, quaint cafe on a quiet street in downtown Oaxaca, but away from the historic center (zocalo). A great place to unwind and read a book and sip on delicious coffee. They offer Chemex (pour over), which I am not usually a fan of, but this was delicious. They offer a small selection of pastries, which I am guessing are not made on site. The service was friendly and offered local tips. Muss = No fuss.

Many vegan & gluten free options. Amazing almond iced latte. Beautiful atmosphere. I had the smoothie bowl, so wholesome & fresh.

Wonderful vibe and chill cafe' !!! Our first time here in Muss Cafe and we love the culture. The details in this place are worth checking out!

Excellent coffee and staff. The breakfast sandwich is really good. They added a chimichuri like dressing that takes it up a notch. They also have pastries like muffins and sweet breads. Definitely recommend it for some good coffee and a quick bite.

Nice. Not busy, but not much capacity either. Cool courtyard. Relaxed. Nice drinks. Quick friendly service,

Fantastic coffee shop among the few that open at 7:30 in central Oaxaca. Great pastry - cardamom muffin, avocado toast was perfect and what they call smoothies which is more like an açaí bowl. The cappuccino was sublime.

Such a cozy relaxing spot to grab breakfast. Highly recommend getting the green detox juice! It will blow you away. Got the eggs and toast and nothing better than good quality basics to start the day. Also got the breakfast sandwich which is pretty hearty if you are hungry. Staff was super friendly. It's small so there is limited seating. There menu has classic coffee options and a few milk options. Coffee was okay, nothing to rave about there. They have breakfast and lunch options including toasts, sandwiches, and salads. The grilled cheese is perfection!!!

Lovely ambiance, friendly service and fresh food . We walked up to the terrace for a breakfast. If you want to drink wine they do serve per glass even it's not indicated on their menu.

It's up three flights but totally worth it! It's gorgeous with 3 story courtyard. Highly recommend!

Quaint little cafe attached to a hotel - small space for folks coming from street, but lots of catered space to guest of hotel. We walked in off street and got lucky to grab a table. Very nice for coffee

This is the best coffee and cafe in Oaxaca. Fresh juice great food and super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great coffee and morning pastries. Enjoyed the ambiance in the attached hotel courtyard!

In my experience, this is the best coffee shop in town. Excellent espresso flavor, good third wave latte art/style, very nice baristas, and some delicious breads. If you're a coffee fan don't miss it while you're here.

Wonderful coffee using local Oaxacan beans. Must try the cinnamon rolls with cranberry and cardamom!

Great staff. Wonderful coffee. We are in Oaxaca City for a week and found this great coffee shop The cinnamon role with cardamon is to die for.

Somehow both 1. One of the worst breakfasts I've had in Mexico in two weeks, 2. One of the most expensive! Definitely try elsewhere
