This was one of our first stops during our stay in Mexico City and possibly one of the more charming (and trendy) little gourmet eateries nestled on a corner in the middle of Colonia Roma. Snagging an outdoor table here is usually impossible, but inside doesn't disappoint!

Stepping in you're greeted with a bit of the usual suspects when it comes to decor: subway tile, reclaimed wood tables, concrete floors, and chalkboard menus. The one bit that was a nice surprise, was that some of the tables were actually reclaimed sewing tables (with the inverted, built-in sewing machines removed).

There's a beautiful bread station, with various freshly baked artisan breads for sale and nearby, a beautiful larder of jams, marmalades, and chutneys. The main deli case holds a huge variety of pastries and desserts, next to another case holding a myriad of charcuterie and cheese selections. A few memorable bites I had were the buffalo mozzarella and the prosciutto and figs - plus their olive oil is to die for! (available for sale)

There definitely is something for everyone here, if you're a little nervous of trying the Mexican palette on your first day. Tons of Italian and Spanish-inspired dishes, sandwiches, cold salads, pizzas, and of course, an entire bar filled with varieties of agua fresca!
