The popularity of this rustic cafe in the center of town seems both assured and ever-growing. There are several different brewing options for your coffee, from Chemex to Turkish ibrik to Rok press.

Oso Azul
Cafe, Mexican, American, $$$
Oso Azul is owned and run by a Danish ex-pat who knows his way around coffee. They roast their own beans daily on the premises and primarily offer organic coffee from Veracruz, although the dirty chai with almond milk is pretty good, too. Currently experimenting with their blends, Oso Azul is a charming cafe with a pretty central courtyard in which you can enjoy your coffee and even a quick breakfast; the cast iron skillet eggs are a favorite. Stop by for lunch too if you fancy trying their divine smoked salmon.

Buen Día Cafe
Cafe, Mexican, Coffee, Vegetarian, $$$
Buen Día Cafe is a quaint little cafe in San Miguel which has a ground floor indoor area, perfect if the day is a little overcast or chillier than usual. However, the top floor terrace is the place to be otherwise, as you can appreciate the surroundings, and the excellent coffee, in the open air. Tucked away on a side street, you could be forgiven for wandering straight past this converted house. The best time to head to Buen Día Cafe is undoubtedly a Sunday, when the live music only enhances the casual, friendly atmosphere.

Lavanda
Restaurant, Cafe, Mexican, Vegetarian, $$$
Lavanda is the perfect option for those not only searching for fantastic quality coffee but a healthy, organic breakfast to accompany it too. Choose between oatmeals, omelettes, waffles, or granola with yogurt, among several other equally great options. A small spot, the brightly colored walls of the cafe – typical of San Miguel – don’t give much clue as to what lies inside. However, Lavanda offers a fresh and modern décor with atmospheric lighting which easily lends itself to a cozy, intimate chat over your freshly pressed coffee.
