Kiyo Café

SO CUTE! This café is definitely on the trendy (and yes, slightly gentrified) side, but it’s such a lovely spot to relax. There’s a small boutique at the entrance with beautifully curated items — the prices are definitely high, but it’s still fun to browse while waiting for your coffee. I ordered a flat white and it was perfect! Smooth, strong, and beautifully balanced. I really appreciated that they offered soy milk, which can be hard to find in Oaxaca — more cafés need to take note! The backyard area is an absolute gem — peaceful, lush, and full of natural light. It feels like a little oasis tucked away from the busy streets. I also tried the cookie, which was the perfect texture: soft in the center with a slight crisp on the edges. If you’re looking for a calm, stylish café in Oaxaca with great coffee and good vibes, this place is a must-visit! Tip: grab a copy of the map they have in the store - it highlights some great local businesses.

This place is awesome. Seriously. We went to many cafes in Oaxaca and this was a true standout. The staff were kind and passionate, and the food was unbelievable. Don't get me started about how good their coffee was. Step away from the main streets in Oaxaca and come here.

This café offers cozy and trendy vibes. The food is okay. The coffee MANZANITO BREW with a smooth cream on the top is quite nice. Some pastries also look good and attractive.

Very much a vibe! Outstanding pastries, friendly service and awesome cold brew. The chilaquiles were 10/10. There is plenty of seating if you need to get some work done or just catch up with a friend. I picked up a bag of coffee beans to take home with me, which tasted great. The courtyard is really pretty, but the water fountain attracts a lot of mosquitoes.

Amazing service! Staff are super friendly and helpful (especially with my broken Spanish)! We’ve been in Oaxaca for 4 days and have been here every morning! Food and drinks are consistently a 10/10 for us and we recommend for anyone visiting Oaxaca to come here! Amazing outdoor seating

This place is very beautiful and a little off the beaten path. It’s great to take a break or study (which I saw some patrons doing). Great trinkets to take home or even clothing. I ordered a golden milk latte and didn’t love it. Turmeric is tough to break down so it doesn’t clump and stick to the throat but I wanted to try it because this was the drink that wasn’t offered in other cafes I had visited during my time there. Glad I visited and ordered something but I wouldn’t return if in the area.

My absolute favorite coffee shop in the city! Not only did it have the best latte imo in the town the staff is so friendly especially Tania, the food is delicious, the pastries are great, the vibes are superb, I worked for a few hours there some days, they are outlets. High recommend!!!

Very cute, trendy café with a relaxing atmosphere — a great place to take a break while exploring the city. The coffee is decent, not exceptional, but the cozy interior and the convenience (including free restrooms) make it a solid stop during your walk around Oaxaca.
