Nice coffee spot in the center of town. They also make an excellent house agua with basil, lime and chia seeds.
Freshly pressed tortillas off the stone griddle. Dozens of fillings or eat them plain. Atole blanco on offer. Great for breakfast. Highly recommend.
A celebration of all things corn. The grilling of freshly pressed tortillas is a warming sight in every way. Tasty, though not as transcendent as I've heard from others. May need to go back at breakfast time to re-evaluate. Would definitely go back for the tetelas with hoja santa, and the variety of fresh aguas and jugos.
Shop run by the 1050 collective - they work directly with traditional potters who practice a variety of styles from across Oaxaca, but generally simple, timeless forms that work well in modern spaces. They also made most of the serviceware for Noma Mexico. Photo via @fannnel (Instagram).
A great breakfast option, same owners as the restaurant and hotel in the center of town. The fruit plate with drizzled honey was a surprising highlight. Photo via @vonn_voyage (Instagram).
Beautiful little wood fired bakery built into the old aqueducts. Some of the best English muffins you will ever have.
Want to go to this little bakery next time. They've since upgraded their setup from this oven, but the owners' charm remains.
A quality bakery and espresso counter that makes almost everything from scratch (including their own ferments). Grab a bottle of cold brew before you hit the road for the palenques. Photo via @cafecoconoe (Instagram).
Fine dining that everyone will tell you to go to, but not the best food of our trip. Some courses like the ceviche relleno and fish soup were strong, but others (like the moles) missed the mark in presentation and flavor. Photo via @ottoursus (Instagram).
Delicious, creative tasting menu, some of the most exciting food in Oaxaca right now, and a very cool bar setup. Photo via @jimhenkins (Instagram).
Design-oriented boutique hotel in a central location. Great public spaces including a roof deck. Suites are each designed by a different architect. A good option to know in the city.
Ambitious cooking with traditional roots. Impressive service as well. Via William Scanlan. Photo via @origenoaxaca (Instagram).
