Locals stop by in the morning for a Café de Olla, but by the evening it’s a destination bar. Stainless steel shelves are stashed with records and the food is good too: a menu loaded with comfort plates including mortadella sandwiches and truffle fries – perfect late-night bites.  

One of the best breakfast spots in Guadalajara. On any given day, there are friends catching up, business folk and market goers all gathering at the long wooden table to eat plates of chilaquiles and tamales with cups of Café de Olla (cinnamon spiced coffee).  

A gallery set in a light-filled modernist building in the Americana neighborhood, redesigned by architect Sergio Ortiz. On display is founder José Noe Suro’s private collection as well as a rotation of exhibitions from homegrown artists.  

Hidden up a staircase on the second floor of a coffee shop, you’ll find people jostling around an open courtyard at the city’s liveliest watering hole. The menu changes frequently but expect superb cocktails such as the Jicama Sour, a quintessential lemon-and-egg-white cocktail made with fresh poblano chile and kefir leaf oil.
