Cafe MX, Mexican cafe in Centro, Morelia, Mexico
Cafe MX is a Mexican restaurant in the historic center of Morelia, spread across two floors with wooden furniture and large windows. A street-facing terrace extends the dining area outside and lets guests eat in the open air.
The restaurant opened in 2015, introducing a contemporary approach to dining in Morelia's historic district. It was among the first places of its kind in a part of the city that had long been shaped by traditional eateries.
Cafe MX draws on local ingredients and French pastry methods, which shows clearly in the desserts and baked goods on the menu. The result is a style of cooking that reinterprets regional flavors without abandoning them.
The place is open throughout the day and offers both table service and delivery. Anyone hoping to sit on the terrace should arrive early, as those spots fill up quickly during busy hours.
The kitchen runs an in-house pastry lab where the team develops new recipes using regional ingredients. This space is not open to visitors, but its work feeds directly into what appears on the daily menu.
