Nice coffee shop with pastries and room to spare. Staff were excellent and amazing with their beverage skills. Lots of parking and easily accessed from the road. Even a spot to play petangue. Dog friendly.... Monty loved it.

Great little coffeehouse tucked away off the road. Staff is friendly and was able to speak to us in both Spanish and English. The espresso is much better than you would get at any of the American franchises in the area. Definitely stop in and get your breakfast and coffee here.

Great specialty coffee. They serve Buna coffee roasters which is one of Mexico’s few specialty roasters that focus on producing and sharing amazing Mexican coffees. They have a wonderful simple breakfast menu, which I suggest trying the breakfast burrito and fruit bowl. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

Hip new coffee place on the second floor - go upstairs and around the back. Nice tables outside to take a break in the gallery district.

Super friendly people and good nitro brew on a hot day! Note that it's upstairs in the little plaza

Little coffee spot on the second floor. Lovely to sit in the sun on the patio

After the great reviews we went out of our way to come hear. Arrived at 8am when they opened but they where still closed. Waited till 8:15 still nothing. There was a young man that looked like he worked there and I asked what time they opened and he told me 8am but his co worker with keys was still 10 minutes away. So by the time his co worker arrived and the machine heated up it would have been nearly 8:45 😑 Such a bummer the place looked pretty cool but if your right in the hotel zone you really got to open sometime near your posted hours. Update July 13- tried to give this place another shot closed at 10:30am on a Wednesday. Not sure what is going on hear.

You guys have a great coffee shop. I am in the service business in Canada on coffee equipment. I love the fact that you use medium to light roast. This gives better flavour and richer Cappacino. 👍 This is a true gem. See you tomorrow. 4 ounces in the Cappacino is the riches coffee experience here in Cabo’s.

Really good food and coffee, I like the green juice too. Nice patio with a lot of chairs to sit and eat.

Great coffee. Top 3 in all of Cabo (Pezgallo and Coffee Lab are other 2 faves). Cool courtyard seating. Good food.

Not in business. For two years we where told by the coffee shop neighbors. Probably should update.

Amazing! We were on our way to the airport and wanted to grab a bite for breakfast. I ordered the avocado toast and my husband got the breakfast sandwich with a cold brew coffee. All delicious! The flavors in the food were incredible. Best avocado toast I have ever eaten.

Great outdoor setting. Latte was presented beautifully. My wife and I both had the Avo Toast. Avocado, scrambled egg and fresh green on home made toast. Fantastic. Will definitely go again before we leave.

I found this place on Yelp, not knowing it was in the cutest little outdoor shopping area. Had great seating - both in the sun and shade. And the workers were so nice! Not to mention the INCREDIBLE TACOS that they have.

Great spot for an iced latte, horchata cold brew, amazing breakfast burrito and fruit bowl! Great relaxing vibe outside to relax in the morning!

Really good coffee, extremely knowledgeable staff, great music. You can tell they have a passion for coffee and music. A great way to start the day. If you're near the art/gallery district, defiantly add this to your list of places to visit. We were in town for a week and tried almost everything on their menu. I now have a new appreciation for boutique coffee shops, sorry Starbucks. Special thanks to the knowledgeable staff. Looking forward to our next visit.

We LOVED this place! The coffee was spectacular, best croissant I've had outside of Paris (so snobby - I know!), but the best part were the friendly, attentive people working there. Thank you Nestor for being so kind to us! If you're in Cabo it's worth the drive to San Jose. Their patio is so lovely, and they told us that they're sharing the kitchen with el lugareño so I'm pretty sure the food is phenomenal as well. Awesome place!

If you are torn on what to select from the menu, you can't go wrong with the horchata coldbrew. The Hibiscus Iced Tea was incredibly refreshing if you are looking for a cool, refreshing non-coffee drink. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and offered great recommendation ins the area. Overall- excellent vibes and and a great alternative to all the Starbucks in Cabo.

The breakdown is permanently closed. Today is 4/20/22 and we wanted to have breakfast here. Ended up at Abreojos Cafe and it was delicious!

Had the horchata cold brew and chilaquiles-both wonderful. I was having a difficult time finding good coffee in Los Cabos and Breakdown turned it around! Highly recommend going and grabbing breakfast, enjoying it in their outdoor courtyard.

Definitely LA type of vibe but not the LA type of people lol we've had enough of the all inclusive resort food and decided to try a local spot and this place did not disappoint! Great atmosphere, outdoor seating and the service was just as amazing. Now the food, we had the burritos they hit the spot! The salsa and not to mention some of the best coffee I tried recently.

Hidden coffee shop with nice patio area. Amazing milk selection! Brand new, modern with some cool hats and mugs. Clean bathroom and friendly service. Mexican city ethical organic beans from BUNA coffee.

Adorable coffee shop! Lovely outdoor patio and great music!! They have cold brew and great breakfast bites.

Lovely people who make great coffee drinks inexpensively. A five-minute walk from our rented condo. No real food, just sweet rolls and bread, still a good first stop for us when we want coffee out rather than in the condo.

Fantastic coffee with great conversation. I had the cold brew Mex Mocha, my wife had the pour over hot coffee with horchata. The drinks are original recipes. My mocha would have been perfect as a plain mocha from the best coffee shops in Seattle (not Starbucks), where we're from, but it had a little kick to remind me I was still in Mexico. My wife enjoyed her beverage as well. When she asked for a little more horchata in her blend, the owner/barista, Natalie, was happy to accommodate the request. This led us into a friendly 15 minute conversation about things we have in common. The result was a very pleasant surprise this morning right around the corner from where we are staying. We'll definitely be back soon. Tomorrow I assume.

Would be happy to have coffee here every morning, forever. Stunningly beautiful spot, great coffee, awesome soundtrack and best vibes staff around.

Really a great little place, delicious coffee- must try the horchata cold brew! It's no joke, the beats were super fresh; there was WiFi and a very slick black and white theme. Worth the hop up the steps!

Super cool shop in San Jose del Cabo. Laid back vibe with good music, nice staff and killer coffee. Pour overs, espresso, cappuccinos, and unreal mex mocha and horchata cold brew. If you're in the area its a must.
