Black Honey Cafe - Monterrey

Love this place. Such a small and unique place, clothing store in the front, students working on their computers, great atmosphere and style.

Nestled in San Jeronomo, near Enrique Livas con Gonzalitos, this was a hidden gem and had youthful and friendly baristas that shared their passion for coffee! Plenty of space inside, rustic shelves with books, and not much bling, dated locale, but that actually gave it an authentic Monterrey charm that I enjoyed vs a plastic Starbuck’s feel. Great wifi to work and a few intimate tables if you wanted to share a coffee with a friend, it feels just like a house in the colonia. Barista was young but quite open to learning more and inquisitive. Knowledgeable and had worked in other coffee shops in the area, too. The coffee was a Veracruz medium roast, of the finest quality, single origin, from mountains near Xalapa. Mild and earthy, wonderful aftertaste. I had a concentrated whole milk latte with caramel casero. Vanilla flavor is also available and the price was excellent for the quality, I was not charged extra for the homemade syrup making this place on balance the best deal so far in Monterrey for a superior cup. Just two negatives here but they do not affect a strong five star rating because I’m here for the coffee and I got the right drink temperature. The milk being used is ultrapasteurized and though the good coffee came through I could tell. The owner will consider getting regular pasteurized milk I hope! Second if you drive here, parking is difficult but available. Great place. Uniquely Monterrey I’ll be back!

Excelente lugar para deleitarte con una taza de café y un delicioso postre, en este caso tocó un café Espresso y un capuchino que la verdad no tengo palabras para describir y del postre... Ni se diga, un croissant relleno de crema de almendras y cubierto con almendras rebanadas y un toque de azúcar glas. Un sabor, un aroma y la acidez perfecta que caracterizan a una buena taza de café. Vengan y disfrutenlo en estas tardes lluviosas.

Un excelente lugar para ir a trabajar mientras te tomas un rico café, comes algo salado o dulce. El espacio es amplio y cómodo, además tienen un horario de cierre hasta las 10pm.

El lugar me pareció original, café muy bueno, recomiendo latte con lavanda. Precios accesible y buen servicio.
