Café La Habana

Opened in 1952, this iconic café is a nostalgic gem, steeped in history as a meeting place for revolutionaries like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, who reportedly planned the Cuban Revolution here, and literary giants like Gabriel García Márquez and Roberto Bolaño, who frequented it during the 1970s infrarrealist movement. With its high ceilings, sepia-toned photos of Havana, and vintage coffee machine, it retains a 1950s ambiance. The menu features classic Mexican dishes like enchiladas and chilaquiles (though food quality varies), but the coffee—especially the café lechero (espresso with hot milk) or café bombón (double espresso with ground coffee)—is the star.
