Centro Cultural Elena Garro

The moment you enter the architecture of this place, it is literally super beautiful, I loved that apart from the books there is a cafeteria and not only that but also a terrace inside with all kinds of books you can find.

There are all kinds of books whether psychology, science, juvenile and more and also people who do not like to read much there is another section of movies.

I recommend it, and the people there, they serve you very well.

This is a special book store. You can find here a large variety of books no only in Spanish, also in other languages like English and French. There are also activities for kids on Sundays. This book store is not only special for the variety of books and Sunday activities,it used to be Elena Garro house. Elena Garro was a Mexican screenwriter, journalist, dramaturg, short story writer, and novelist. She also famous for been Octavio Paz wife .

I went there to see this architectural landmark in coayacan, however the staff are not friendly and you CANNOT TAKE ANY PICTURES… because they don’t want you to use it on your social media.

That’s insane for a cultural center and the first time that has happened. Many archi students were on the same position of me and got very disappointed with their treatment.

Other than that I must say the library is very nice and has a nice selection of books.

Great bookstore! You can find speciality books here.
I rated 4 starts only because it lacks a café, but you won't really miss it because Coyoacán is full of them.

Very nice Cultural complex including a bookstore, Coffee shop, gallery and a small concert venue. Located at Coyoacan neighborhood it is inviting and cozy to spend a couple hours relaxing and shopping
