Caffe Todos Santos is one of the town’s most famous spots for breakfast or lunch. Tucked into an ancient colonial mammoth, it has a quirky and artsy decor and a long menu that includes both Mexican and international favorites. Try the bagel breakfast sandwiches and a latte or one of their delicious pastries. The cafe is now owned by the same folks as Tre Galline, so look for some Italian-inspired lunch dishes.

Baja Beans is easily one of Todos Santos’ best coffee shops and hangouts for caffeine junkies. Not only do they serve it up, but also roast their own beans, giving them full control over quality. They do small-batch roasting and work with organic coffee farmers in Veracruz to source their fair trade beans. Baja Beans now sells coffee all other North America and their cafe offers breakfasts and incredible scones and other pastries.
