5/10 - will only return out of necessity and a hope the next experience is better.
I really wanted to like this place. I had read a wonderful review on a digital nomad lifestyle blog who rated this coffeeshop as the best in town for a balance of drink, food, and Wifi.
Service: Nothing outstanding and nothing too lacking. Overall it was a pretty standard Mexican service of having to request attention for your needs. My drink was correct, but my specific request for sweetener was wrong. The team was friendly in helping with the Wifi situation described below.
Drink: a strong and hot Americano. A well done drink and one of the most balanced Americanos I've had in Mexico - flavor and temp. It can sometimes be difficult to find hot coffee. I most often encounter tepid coffee.
Food: I did not eat.
WiFi: Speeds 31/21. Strong, but a headache to log into. The shop did not have a posting with network or login information. When asking the staff how to log in I was shared how to access only one of two networks titled with the shop's name. Then two potential passwords before I was provided a third potential password. Then... discovering the password was provided misspelled. Then... to discover there was another network that we should have been using. So - I spent 15min and the time of three servers trying to log into the correct network with the correct password. Unfortunately, this experience soured my overall mood and likely this review.
Power: outlets indoor along the walls.
I hope to write you several more coffeeshop reviews. And I hope for less sour and more cheerful reviews in Merida. Please subscribe to my Merida, MX Google Maps list for additional recommendations and suggestions. I will be here two weeks and would love to share with you my experiences.
