What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Coffee Lab is celebrated for its high-quality coffee and unique, flavorful dishes like chilaquiles and turkey paninis, creating a peaceful atmosphere for work or relaxation. While many praise the gourmet coffee and food, some reviews mention slow service and limited seating. The pet-friendly environment is a definite plus for many patrons.
"A bit out of the way and not easy to spot, but worth it if you want a relaxing spot to just unwind or get away from noise and crowds. The staff speak English, and they take cards, they have WiFi and bathroom access. They made me a pour over chemex, and although the cost was super affordable, the cup was tiny (and came out cold), and I was done in 4 sips. I’d come back but order something else."

"Really nice cafe for working and drinking gourmet coffee including pour over chemex and various other options. The music is great as well. The Wi-Fi is speedy and the seating is ergonomically comfortable.."
Earth Explorer
"Small cozy coffee shop thats been around for over 8 years! There are about 4,5 small tables in total, so I would only recommend this place for a group of 4 or less if you plan to sit down.
The coffee was good, but the affocato I had was amazing 😍 perfect to cool down but fulfill your sweet craving. The neighbourhood is close to the touristy area, but far enough to see barely any traffic.
I would recommend this place to any small group who is looking to relax in a peaceful setting."

Early birds can scoot over to Coffee LAB from 7am for coffee, signature dishes like avocado toast and a wide variety of smoothies – this was my holy trinity during a two-week stay, ordered with metronomic consistency throughout my mornings. Coffee in the afternoons in the breezy courtyard of Café Dona Nena provides a natural pause to the day.
