Reviews For La Petrona Café Bistro

Fantastic friendly folks working here serving delicious, not over sweetened snacks and drinks. They actually ask if people want sugar or not which I greatly appreciate. The ambience is dark and elegant but cozy and well lit, all at the same time. It’s a fashionable space with a nice menu selection.

This place only looks expensive but has fantastic salads, amazing toast and ciabattas and a great breakfast. If you go to the Textile museum stop by since it’s just in front. Service is slow but food amazing. Check the rich menu and ENJOY

Beautiful little coffee shop in Oaxaca Centro. The location design is tasteful, and the coffee even more so. Great location for specialty coffee connoisseurs!

I love this place. I visited three times during my stay in Oaxaca. The staff is fantastic, super friendly, helpful and efficient. The food is great and it's the perfect spot foe working (one of the few places with actual comfortable chairs and decent wifi), to eat (all the drinks and food I had were tasty, good portions, etc.) Or to meet with friends. Centric location, cute decor. I will be back!
