Part cafe, part vintage shop, and part art gallery, this beautifully eclectic space in the up-and-coming Escandón neighborhood is filled with curated vintage decor, books, and art. All-day breakfast, signature Fight Club Sandwich, and curated music provide a uniquely inspiring work environment open until 10pm on weekdays.

A modern specialty coffee house in the Centro Histórico paying homage to Mayan culture, with a striking stone jaguar head and multiple floors of workspace including a rooftop terrace overlooking the Zócalo area. Open until 1am on Friday-Saturday with V60, Aeropress, and espresso brewing methods — though power outlets are undocumented.
