Our students often ask us where in town they can go for a good cup of Joe. So, here is Na’atik’s list of the best coffee in Felipe Carrillo Puerto; whether you’re after a strong shot of espresso or an ice-cold frappe.

 MozzafiatoCentrally located in Carrillo’s parque central, Mozzafiato is a fantastic spot for a cappuccino and a charla (chat).Sit inside and take advantage of the air-con or outside if you want to people-watch on the plaza. The hot chocolate also comes highly recommended. Check out the Mozzafiato Facebook page for more information about their opening times:https://es-la.facebook.com/mozzafiatocafe/

Tierra CaféA regular haunt for Na’atik staff over the years, Tierra Café is another place to go for some great Mexican coffee. The frappes are delicious! Try the classic cappuccino or one of their especiales, likethe Ferrero Roche. If you’re not a coffee fan, they also have a good selection of smoothies and teas.

Dharmata CaféLast but not least is Dharmata Café. Another firm favorite of former students and Na’atik staff, it’s the perfect place to catch up on your Spanish homework and enjoy a lovely cup of fresh coffee and snack. They also host live music nights. For opening times, check out their website:https://dharmata-cafe.negocio.site/
