This colorful cafe in the heart of the San Miguel Chapultepec neighborhood is the perfect spot to drop by for some brunch, it’s an internet café too so very useful if you need to hunt down your next quirky art gallery in the area. The functional interior features a long communal table, meaning the atmosphere is friendly and sociable, excellent if you’re a lone traveler. However, don’t assume that means every visit is the same, as the vibe in Café Zena often depends on the day’s clientele. Splashes of color are provided by plants and the prices are reasonable.

2. Sal y Dulce

Bakery, Dessert

Choose from the classic egg-dominated Mexican favorites (basically eggs in every conceivable form and combination), pan dulcesand juicy, fresh fruits. As it is also a bakery, you must try out some of the delicious pastries and cakes, too, if you’re in the market for a sweeter brunch, and enjoy them in the sleek, minimalist interior.
