Manifesto

Top choice in Mérida


This place, run by a trio from Calabria, Italy, offers an ambitious 'manifesto' indeed: a revolution in coffee brought about by the fusing of Italian preparation methods with the very best beans Mexico has to offer. It's a compelling combination, and the sleek premises is the kind of place where you'll want to order your coffee to stay.

They roast their beans here, too, and you can buy packets with beans originating from all over Southern Mexico.
