📍 Juárez District Havre 73, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX
First up is a popular cafe in the Juárez district, right near Reforma Avenue, the Marunouchi of Mexico City,"Café NIN (Cafe Nin)"is.
Created by Elena Raygadas, one of Mexico's best-known female chefs, this cafe pays close attention to its interior design, and its menu is full of delicious, healthy options that completely win over women.
One must-try is the bread filled with guava and cream cheese called "Rollo de Guayaba (Ro-yo de Guayaba)."
It also pairs perfectly with coffee or tea.
It also has a wide menu, so it's a great choice for breakfast or brunch.
"Chilaquiles" is a popular breakfast dish among locals, made with fried corn tortilla chips topped with special sauce, avocado, and cream cheese.
There are plenty of vegetarian-friendly and healthy dishes too, so it's also great for anyone who feels weighed down from eating too many tacos...

Next up is "Budapest Café Cukrászda (Budapest Cafe)."
It has two locations: one in Polanco, a luxury shopping district often called the Ginza or Omotesando of Mexico City, and another in Condesa, often called Daikanyama of Mexico. (The photos are from the Polanco location)
As its name suggests, Budapest Cafe is Mexico's only Hungarian-style cafe.
Its antique interior feels like a little escape to Europe.
The cakes, handmade in-house, are especially recommended.
Everything is delicious, but the cheesecake is the one you absolutely have to try!
It's topped with plenty of blueberry sauce, creating a perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. Also, they offer lots of tea varieties, making it perfect for tea-loving girls.

The drinks and cakes are pink too, which makes you feel excited!
A pastel-colored smoothie is especially recommended.

"Churrería El Moro" is a long-established churro shop founded in 1935.
The main store is in the Centro district, but a few years ago they started expanding as a chain, so now you can enjoy them all over Mexico City.
The white-themed interior with blue lettering is retro and super cute!
The staff uniforms are cute too, which makes it exciting just to walk in! Every location has an open kitchen, so it's fun to watch them being made right in front of you.

Churros
February Valentine's limited edition
The must-try here is definitely the churros. You can choose from two sugar toppings for the original-recipe churros, so definitely go for the cinnamon sugar for a Mexican touch! Another plus is that they're made in-house, so they're always served fresh and hot. We recommend dipping the warm, crispy churros into hot cocoa.
📍Av. Álvaro Obregón 86, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX
The concept of "El Pendulo" is "Cafebrería"—a coined word formed by combining the Japanese words for "cafe" and "library."
Just as its name suggests, it's a cafe where you can relax surrounded by books, and the moment you step inside, you'll be amazed by the sheer number of books lining the walls! It's heaven for book-loving girls.
There's also an actual bookstore on-site, so you can buy a book and read it right there.
Unusually for a cafe, they also serve alcohol, making it a great spot for a casual drink! They offer everything from Mexican craft beer to wine, so be sure to try it.
The food menu ranges from snacks to hamburgers, so you can also relax and read while enjoying a drink.
