Looney Bean Coffee Olas Altas

I love coming here to work. Great wifi, good coffee, and very friendly and attentive staff. I stayed there for hours to work so I tried a few menu items. The server recommended the strawberry mango smoothie, which I enjoyed. I read a lot of reviews about the chilaquiles burrito, so I tried it with chicken and verde sauce. The chips and the tortilla felt like a lot of carbs and the chips were soggy in the burrito so next time I will stick with just the normal chilaquiles. The green sauce was amazing. Tangy and flavorful! My favorite thing that I ordered that day was the affogado (espresso shot poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream). The coffee tasted really good, dark but not too bitter. The ice cream was a perfect pairing. Yummy! I came back today in the afternoon to work, but all the tables with outlets nearby were taken. If you are planning to work there, you should go early to make sure you have a spot with access to an outlet. The view is great as well. Perfect for taking in the sunset and people watching.

The juices are to die for, so fresh and delicious. Food was fantastic and you can't beat the view. We took a pound of their excellent coffee home too. My new go to for coffee!

The place was nice and clean, great beach view, and good service. Also great to note they have good AC and clean bathrooms. I feel like it is a bit priced higher for tourists, but don't get me wrong. 199 Pesos for what I ordered is very affordable and it is a more tourist area that is almost beach front. And just the AC break can be worth it sometimes. First cashier I had knew some English (and I think it is fun trying to communicate when both of you know only a little of the other's language also a great learning opportunity) but the second lady when I ordered a smoothie must have been a manager and her English was fluent.

Looney Bean has removed decaf coffee from the drink menu, blaming high prices and low margins for the change. So after 10 years of loyalty we will now be having our coffee breaks down the street at Rico's. Bye bye LB! Follow up - Thank you for the prompt reply. We are relived and happy to receive your update on the decaf issue. Please hurry to resolve this problem quickly (there are plenty of quality coffee roasters in Mazatlan that would be happy to help).

Great in-house roasted coffee, delicious breakfasts served 'till 3pm!, nourishing meals, tasty treats. Definitely a Must Go!! avoid going on super crowded Sunday Mornings.

The food was fresh, tasty, and generous. The coffee was not hot enough, and service was just so-so., but the view is nice.

Great service! Beautiful setting! Wonderful view! Machaca was good. Frijoles rather bland. Good meal but not scrumptious.

Fabulous food, outstanding service, excellent wifi. I took my grand kids, and their parents out for breakfast. We had scrumptious omlettes, excellent coffee, and awesome muffins. Lydia is not yet 2 years old, but I think she'll be a lifetime customer. She gets her own chair and LOVES the muffins and her fruit plate. The freshest sweetest fruit...strawberries, pears, pineapple, and apples. This place is a gem.

Moises is 1 of the reasons my hubby has been coming here for many trips, but my first trip to Mazatlán visiting the in laws, resides here in Centro Histórico Ild Mazatlán here, I enjoyed the 3 visits this past 10 days. Hubby lives the Cinnamon roll, the Cerritos Burrito. I enjoyed the B.A.A.T. Breakfast. We enjoy their own grounded coffee the best here. Each time my hubby comes back from a trip, he would bring home at least 10 lbs. we are doing three same this trip! I'll always come back for Moises!

Got a Mango Madness and it was a jackpot! I love a good smoothie especially when I'm traveling. The employees were friendly and I think they know a little bit of English so I had no trouble ordering. The ambiance is super cute! Wish I had taken a photo of the interior. Oh and they keep the cafe pretty chill so it was so nice to walk in after a walk on the boardwalk!

We love this place! Delicious food! Good service! They accept credit cards, definitely if u are visiting Mazatlán u have to come here and try their food! Breakfast are amazing!!! They don't have parking but there is a parking lot two blocks away and they charge 1 dll x hour.

The food is ok very basic but not bad my complaint is that I ordered a panini and got a sandwich and when I asked about it they said that paninis are not pressed this really irked me

Although they have table service, I was just here to get a quick vanilla steamer to-go for my daughter. They understood what I wanted, and it did the trick. It is a popular place at breakfast time, and everyone seemed to be having a great time.

Right on the Malecon overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A really good coffee shop serving great coffees and baked goods.

Not a bad spot to grab a starbuck'ish type coffee. The pastry's are dry compared to American standards because they don't smother them in butter and sugar. They are usually packed but if you have a party of less than three, you can generally find a table to share. Prices are typical to Mazatlan and they offer a Wide selection of breakfast entrees as well. There is no street parking, so Uber or Auriga here.

We stopped here for 2-3 hours to get some work done on our laptops while eating brunch and drinking coffee. The food was good. Portions are on the smaller side as far as bang-for-your-buck goes. The smoothies are cheap! The waitstaff was very kind and no one seemed to have an issue with us sitting there for an extended amount of time. Added bonus is the ocean view!

This place is always pretty busy. They have good coffee, smoothies, pastries, and decent meal options. I don't necessarily feel like this place is touristy, but it does have American roots. Go here if you're craving a vanilla latte. Or a bacon breakfast burrito. Or a waffle with strawberries, banana slices and whipped cream. Note that there are currently two locations... one in Olas Altas and one near Playa Bruja. Also, check out their hats and t-shirts. They are fairly inexpensive and I like the artwork.

If you're looking for some epic coffee options for the black coffee drinker and the frappe drinker, Looney Bean is where you need to go. The outdoor patio is breathtaking during the famous sunsets, but I personally recommend coming in at opening and watching the sky light up over the ocean and the malecon slowly wake up. The food isn't as photogenic as some of the other restaurants near the ocean, but don't let that fool you. Everything has tasted of high quality ingredients with beautifully surprising flavor combinations. I've been here 3 times now and I'm only in Mazatlan for a week. I Highly recommend this being a must go to for anyone, local or tourist a like

We went to the Looney Bean after a long day of wandering around the city. It was refreshing in the cool air and the drinks were good. The coffee was average and the smoothie was good but it was nothing particularly special. I could see hitting them up again if wandering around this are but it is so touristy.

Excellent espresso coffees and a variety of sweets. Great service and reasonable prices. Sit outside and watch the waves crash, or sit inside to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Restrooms in the back.

I love the Olas Altas area in Mazatlan and frequent this place everytime I visit. The staff is super nice! And the coffee is delicious. I avoid coming here for brunch hours because it's really packed.... Last time I came I had an issue with my debit card and they have a phone you can use and make international calls. So helpful. I get smoothies or coffee here.

My daughter Emily had raved about this "great new hip" coffee shop in MZT and Olas Altas, and so it was a must-stop when I went down to visit - and it was amazing! Ok, so I have to preface it a bit - I had not had a morning coffee for three days, nor a breakfast that included eggs, so maybe my appreciation for the place was influenced a little, but still, the coffee and their Big Breakfast was exactly what was needed! I'd probably order it w/o the waffles (didn't even see that on the menu) because it was just so much food... but it was all really tasty, and I'd highly recommend it!

Lots of options on the breakfast menu, ocean views if you eat on the front patio -- right across from the malecón. Lots of locals and tourists. Very reasonably priced fare.

Waited an extra long time for our food. The food was not what I expected. I would recommend Panama 5x over this place.

Really delicious coffee! I brought 4 pounds of it back to the States with me! Great atmosphere! Highly recommend the Iced Mocha Blanca.

My favorite coffee shop in Mazatlan hands down. Great quality coffee and an all around wonderful experience and view! English and Spanish menus available.

Very friendly staff. Delicious food. Great sized portions, very flavorful & inexpensive. Loved it!

5 stars for sure! Dirty surfer is my favorite whether it's served hot or cold. There pastries are fresh and scrumptious!! And I own 2 different shirts of there's... I'm definitely a huge fan of there staff and service and it's right in front of olas altas can't go wrong with this cute place

Very nice place to chill at. Right in front of the ocean! Wonderful view!! Lo mejor en olas altas!¡

Good coffee, friendly staff, and a nice view on the malecon. I had the Oreo frappe. Thinking of having breakfast here before I scoot back to the US tomorrow. The breakfasts look good, too.

Great place.owners are super. Customer service is great. Wonderful latte. Good. Food with expanded menu from before. Rent surf boards and take lessons here also.

This place was a favorite for us on our honeymoon. We visited both locations, downtown and Playas Brujas. Coffee is awesome and the Fancy pants burrito was deliciouso!! My husband met the owner out on the water while surfing at Brujas and they chatted it up- real nice, down to earth guy with an adorable family. Love finding little gems like this with great facilities and staff!

Great coffee, great atmosphere if you like tourists. Staff seems a bit distracted. Really good breakfast!
