Café Luz del Sol

Sonora


In a region cruelly deprived of decent coffee shops, this colonial cafe is a better find for caffeine-starved travelers than any silver mine. Devour beautifully prepared breakfasts, Mexican and North American lunches, homemade cakes and good coffee. There's a cozy interior dining room hung with locally produced art, and a small patio replete with tropical flowers.
