"No Juárez guide would be complete without Niddo, a quintessential comfort food restaurant that prioritizes using the best ingredients it can get. There are now three additional outposts nearby and one more in Polanco, but the original location is the only place that serves breakfast all day long. Order some fluffy buttermilk pancakes with creme fraiche, one of their excellent bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese, or the homemade english muffin with breakfast sausage. The lines used to be wild when they first opened, but now it’s fairly easy to get a table." - Guillaume Guevara
"The peaceful setting of this cafe on the ground floor of the newly opened Casa Ofelia Hotel might just prevent you from sending that passive-aggressive email you drafted on the way over. Most of the food is pre-made and packaged to-go, though you can (and should) stay and eat. Both the egg salad sandwich and the curry bento box are great lunch options, but if you see someone walking out of the kitchen with a tray of freshly baked cookies, prioritize those—they’re delicious and famous around town.

"Off a residential street, Niddo Café is an achingly cute, Instagram-friendly café by the mother-son duo Eduardo and Karen Plaschinski. Drenched in powder pink tiles, it has a plant-filled front patio, a handful of tables and chairs outside, and a few indoors. Ladies in over-sized sunglasses with lap-dogs chat over lemonade; and everyone is glued to their phones to catch a shot of their chocolate babkas, oatmeal cookies, and oat-milk lattes with foam hearts. Their pastry case is appropriately stacked with giant cookies, brownies, cakes laden with flower petals and pristine berries, and cheesecake squares heavy with frosting. There are a few savory bites, too, like packaged salads and sandwiches." - Susannah Rigg, Scarlett Lindeman
"What were your first impressions when you arrived? Off a residential street, Niddo Café is an achingly cute, Instagram-friendly café by the mother-son duo Eduardo and Karen Plaschinski. Drenched in powder pink tiles, chic design, with a plant filled front patio, a handful of tables and chairs outside and a few in. Lots of ladies in over-sized sunglasses with their lap-dogs chat over lemonade; everyone is glued to their phones to catch a shot of their chocolate babkas, oatmeal cookies, and oat-milk lattes with foam hearts. What’s the crowd like? The Niddo group (Niddo, Niddo Café, Niddo Ventana, Cachie's Bagels) has anchored their mini-empire in Juarez and have now smartly jumped to Polanco, tapping into an upscale market who won't bat an eye over their prices. What should we be drinking? Juice, coconut water, sparkling water, coffee and non-alcoholic beverages. Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what not to miss. Their pastry case is appropriately stacked with giant cookies, brownies, cakes laden with flower petals and pristine berries, cheesecake squares heavy with frosting, and gorgeously sugary eye-candy. There are a few savory offerings like packaged salads and sandwiches. And how did the front-of-house folks treat you? The operation is a well-oiled machine. These people know how to open popular businesses. What’s the real-real on why we’re coming here? A refueling when walking through Polanco. Prime, well-executed coffee and pastry." - Scarlett Lindeman
