The Top 10 Brunch Spots In Zapopan, Guadalajara

Lauren Cocking

Zapopan, an upscale city that forms part of Guadalajara’s Municipal Zone, is the perfect place for a classy, laid-back lunch, and is easily accessible for those staying in Guadalajara itself. Mainly a residential area, Zapopan also has a beautiful central plaza with an impressive church which is definitely worth visiting. Stop by for brunch at one of these 10 restaurants and make a day of it.

Croque Madame

1. Shabby Shabby

Cafe, Restaurant, French

Shabby Shabby is actually a chic chic little cafe perfect for brunching in Zapopan, which is growing in popularity. It’s filled with quirky touches, such as distressed effect, mismatched wooden furniture, oversize vintage looking mirror frames, and decadent chandeliers, all based around a neutral color scheme with the odd pop of color. The food is equally impressive and just as beautifully presented. Jars, chopping boards, vintage serving bowls – you name it, Shabby Shabby will serve you food from it. Try their French inspired fusion brunch dishes, such as Croque Monsieur or Croque Madame.

2. Bake and Kitchen

Bakery, Restaurant, Dessert, Vegetarian

This contemporary looking brunch restaurant is elegant and attractive, with the option of outdoor seating under sun shades or indoors in the spacious, light dining area. Try out traditional eggs Benedict, hotcakes with fresh fruit (or bacon, if that’s more to your taste), or even their take on the Frenchc croque ham and cheese sandwich, topped with a perfectly fried sunny-side up egg. As Bake and Kitchen is, rather unsurprisingly given the name, a bakery too, the bread and pastries are outstanding and worth giving a go if you just fancy a light brunch.

3. Funnel Bakery

Bakery, Dessert

Funnel Bakery is an excellent brunch option for sweet lovers, as it has some of the most divine desserts in Zapopan. Try out the eponymous funnel cake, or even ice cream, strawberry and chocolate sauce topped waffles. If you aren’t such a fan of sweet treats, then the breakfast options available here are also well-prepared and competitively priced. Check out the omelets, or the panini capri paired with Heavenly Fries if you fancy something a bit more filling. Decor wise, it’s cozy and familial, providing an excellent space for a chat with friends over a lingering brunch and desserts.

4. La Tetería

Cafe, Tea Room, Tea

Literally translating to “teapot”, La Tetería is the perfect place to swing by for brunch if you coffee lovers come accompanied by tea drinkers too, as you’ll find both served here in this cute little cafe. Try the green and red chilaquiles, served with beans and nopales (cactus). Don’t miss the chance to try the frappe options, which range from chai to mint chocolate flavors. The decor is minimalist, with comfortable sofa style seats indoors, and rustic wooden tables and chairs in the quaint patio area. Chalkboard walls provide information about prices and offers.
