Wordless Wednesday: Cielito Querido Café in Mexico City

1 · Jul 10, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Cielito Querido Café Mexico City

Last week while we were visiting Mexico City, we checked out a new coffee shop we hadn’t seen before called Cielito Querido Café. Not only is the coffee some of the best we’ve tasted in Mexico (even their café de olla passed my test), but I also loved their cute, cheeky to-go cups that poke fun at Starbucks. Like Starbucks, they have the normal assortment of coffees, espresso and frappes, but they have a host of other offerings on the menu that are muy Mexicano, such as chamoyadas (in no less than four flavors), additions to your café con leche that include cajeta and rompope, chocolate caliente con chile and a house-made horchata. The snack offerings didn’t disappoint either, with selections such as muéganos, palanqueta, molletes, panqué, pasteles and galletas.

I was surprised to learn that the quickly-growing Mexican chain has more than 30 locations in Mexico City as of July 2013 and that I hadn’t stumbled upon one before. I went looking for some more information after a friend on Instagram mentioned that the company is looking to expand to the U.S. (and possibly to Los Angeles) and and found this story on NBC Latino with a great slideshow so you can get a feel for the ambience of Cielito Querido Café. We’ll definitely be back again the next time we visit.

  • Have you been to Cielito Querido Café? What did you order? If you haven’t been, do you think you’ll try it out next time you’re in Mexico City?

  • Raise your hand if you hate doing laundry... 🙋🏻‍♀️🧺🤦🏻‍♀️😭 TBH it ranks right up there with cleaning the toilet and taking out the trash for me. In fact, in an attempt to delay doing laundry, it turns out I’ll do just about anything else. Including take out my letter board and take a photo of my dirty laundry. 🤦🏻‍♀️🧺🧺🧺 Why isn’t there an Alexa skill for this yet?! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #letterboardinspiration #letterboards #letterboard #letterboardfun #letterboardlove #letterboardquote #letterboardquotes #letterboardinspo #letterboardstories #feltletterboards #feltletterboard #letterfolkquotes #thelettergrams #craftyhands #feltlikesharing #dirtylaundry #laundrytime #amazonalexa
  • I didn’t take a bite... YOU took a bite! (OK, I totally did.) 🤷🏻‍♀️🍩 But in my defense, these margarita-glazed doughnuts are the real deal. Like having a cocktail 🍹 without the buzz. Not suitable for the kids because there’s booze in the glaze, but then who am I to assume you’d want to share them anyway? 🍩🍹🍩🍹🍩🍹🍩 Recipe is up on the blog at theothersideofthetortilla.com. 👩🏻‍💻 What kind of doughnuts should I make next?! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mexicanfood #mexican #thatsdarling #acolorstory #mexicanfoodlover #mexicanfoodporn #mexicanfoodisthebest #mexicolors #margaritatime #mexicanlife #food52 #thefeedfeed #thekitchn #eeeeeats #donuts🍩 #donutlove #doughnuts🍩 #breakfastgoals #donutlover #ambaking #bakingwithlove #mywilliamssonoma

  • 🥐 Las penas con pan son menos 🥐⠀ ⠀ Did you know there are as many as 2,000 kinds of Mexican pan dulce? 😱 My husband and I started writing ✍🏼 a guide to common types of Mexican sweet bread awhile back, and then realized I’d probably never publish it on my blog if I waited until I tried and photographed hundreds more. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ So this is me, Type A person who likes to have ALL the details and photos complete and perfect, telling you that I published an incomplete guide on 💁🏻‍♀️ theothersideofthetortilla.com with more than 50 kinds of pan dulce, descriptions and some photos, and I plan to add more over time. I hope you’ll check it out and tell me in the comments below what other types of pan dulce you think I should add to the list! ❤️🥐⠀ ⠀ #pandulce #pandulcemexicano #mexicanfood #mexican #mexicolors #colormehappy #choosehappiness #pursuepretty #livecolorfully #mexicanlife #mexicancuisine #mexicanfoodporn #food52 #thefeedfeed #thekitchn #storyofmytable #eeeeeats #thatsdarling #panaderia #laspenasconpansonmenos #breakfastinspo #breakfastporn #breakfastlove #pastrylover #fortheloveofbread #baking
