#1 Casa Myz – the clear winner Nestled in the historic heart of Cholula, Casa Myz commands attention with its flawless 5‑star rating and a score that tops the city’s list. The address – 10 norte 603 – is easy to spot, and the open doors from eight in the morning to four‑thirty in the afternoon invite a steady stream of locals. I start every visit with the chilaquiles bowl, a vibrant mix of corn tortilla chips, salsa verde, and a poached egg, priced within the $100–200 range. Reviewers rave about the lively atmosphere and the variety of fresh juices, and the space even hosts morning yoga sessions that keep the vibe relaxed.
#2 Caffe Toscano – a refined espresso experience Just a short tram ride away, Caffe Toscano sits at 5 de Mayo 212‑Local 2. Its 5‑star rating matches Casa Myz, but the business score sits lower, which is why it lands at #2. The menu leans toward classic Italian desserts – the tiramisu and panna cotta are the stand‑outs, each served for under $100. A reviewer wrote, “The affogato hits the perfect balance of bitter and sweet.” Open every day from nine to eight, the shop feels like a quiet study, perfect for a mid‑day pause. The only drawback is the limited seating on weekends, which can make a quick coffee run feel rushed.
#3 DrinkLand – creative drinks in a modern setting DrinkLand, located on the bustling main avenue, earns a 4.9 rating and a solid score of 76.9. Its hours stretch from nine to eight daily, and the place is known for its experimental frappes – the mango‑chili blend costs well within the $1–100 bracket. One reviewer noted, “The mango‑chili frappe is a surprise that works.” The space is bright, with a minimalist design that lets the drinks shine. The downside? The noise level can rise after dinner service, making it harder to focus on work.
#4 Cafetería Azcata – a relaxed spot with great value Cafetería Azcata claims a 4.8 rating and sits at Carretera Federal Cuetzalan. Open from one to nine every day, it offers a laid‑back vibe that feels far from the tourist rush. Their coffee frappe is praised for its price – under $100 – and a reviewer said, “Best price for the quality you get.” The menu is simple, but the consistency of the espresso and the friendly staff keep regulars coming back. The only weak point is the limited food options; it’s mainly a coffee stop.
If you only try one café in Puebla, let it be Casa Myz – the perfect blend of flavor, atmosphere, and community spirit.
