Best Breakfast in Mexico City

"CDMX's most beloved breakfast taquería — 4am opening, charcoal tortillas, eight guisados daily."

"Hidden near Teatro Metropolitán with no signage, Du-Te serves authentic regional Chinese breakfast to the city's Chinese community every morning — steamed pork dumplings, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves, and soy milk that tastes nothing like any Mexican version. Arrive before 9am to eat alongside the regulars."

"Instalada en el histórico Edificio Vizcaya, Farmacia Internacional toma su nombre de una droguería que existió en Bucareli en los años 50 y conserva el espíritu apotecario con equipos médicos vintage y pisos originales. Sus pop-tarts artesanales con compota casera son el plato estrella."

"Quiasmo abre a las 6:00 am, siendo uno de los primeros cafés de especialidad en despertar en la Condesa-Hipódromo. Su ventanilla exterior para llevar, el pour-over con cardamomo y cocoa, y el ambiente luminoso lo convierten en el ritual matutino favorito de quienes viven en el barrio."

"Cozy café by day, izakaya-inspired wine bar by night — weekly handwritten menu, no reservations."

"Pillowy Japanese milk bread baked fresh daily. A tiny slip of a bakery that sells out early—go at opening."

"The most beloved canasta stand in Condesa — steaming from 8am with potato, bean, and chicharrón."

"Old-school fonda doing honest comida corrida. Soup, rice, beans, main—and it's all made with care."

"Breezy breakfast spot with solid classic plates and good coffee. Terrace seating on tree-lined streets."

"Exactly what it says. Reliable Roma breakfast spot with good coffee and a terrace. A solid weekday ritual."

"Yucatecan breakfast done with homesick love. The motuleños are the real deal—black beans, plantain, the works."

"Condesa breakfast staple with quality coffee and a menu that doesn't phone it in. Terrace fills up on weekends."

"Juárez deli with well-sourced charcuterie and creative sandwiches. Great spot for a weekday lunch."

"Minimalist specialty café with house-roasted beans, direct farm relationships, and a standout matcha tonic."

"A breakfast tradition in Portales — crispy tortilla scraps scrambled with egg and salsa verde."

"Neighborhood breakfast spot near La Villa — tacos de guisado paired with fresh juice, community soul."

"Bagels are fine, nothing to rush for. Serviceable breakfast option in Juárez if you're already in the area."

"Japanese sandwich shop—tiny, focused, and not worth the hype. The sando is fine but overpriced."
