It's not every day that you can you sit back and enjoy a coffee and cake on the balcony of a regal cafe that's part of an iron palace designed by Gustave Eiffel. The delightful decor, smart staff and selection of sandwiches, crepes and cake make this an obvious place to break up your exploration of Orizaba.
