Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the charming Barrio de Jalatlaco of Oaxaca de Juárez, Café Finca El Olivo stands out as a delightful espresso bar, bakery, and artisan coffee roaster that offers far more than your typical coffee stop. As a multifaceted food producer and restaurant, this local gem invites visitors to savor meticulously crafted beverages alongside freshly baked treats, all served within a warm, tranquil atmosphere.

The café’s beverage menu is a rich tapestry of flavors that caters to every palate. Whether you crave the bold intensity of a perfectly pulled Espresso (MX$37) or the creamy indulgence of a Latte Caramelo (MX$75), each coffee creation is brewed with care and precision. For those seeking something more adventurous, the frappes, like the luscious Oreo (MX$90) and subtly fragrant Matcha (MX$87), offer a refreshing, indulgent treat. Warm drinks such as the comforting Chocolate de leche (MX$66) and the aromatic Chai (MX$70) are perfect for cozy moments, while the cold selection, featuring the vibrant Espresso Tonic (MX$85) and soothing Taro Milk (MX$82), refreshes with a twist.

Beyond the impressive drink selections, the bakery offerings complement your coffee perfectly. Imagine biting into moist, homemade chocolate cookies or savoring a flavorful sandwich in a space that feels both “super cute” and inviting, as one customer, Lutful Sanju, put it. The ambiance at Café Finca El Olivo is a harmonious blend of tranquility and charm—ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful respite from the city's busier spots. Customers like Gabriel Guerrero appreciate this sanctuary for its friendly, unpretentious service and quality without the overwhelming crowds.

More than just a café, it's a cultural haven where excellent music enhances the experience, making every visit memorable. Ana Velasco’s review captures the essence perfectly: “Excellent music, pleasant atmosphere, fantastic coffee, and some of the best chocolate cookies. The service is superb and exceptionally friendly.” Whether you're starting your day with a generous serving of their spectacular té matcha, praised by Paula Pc for both portion size and price, or unwinding with friends over flavorful coffee concoctions, Café Finca El Olivo promises a genuine taste of Oaxaca’s vibrant coffee culture.

If you’re in Oaxaca and craving an authentic, expertly crafted coffee experience paired with delightful baked goods, this local treasure located at C. Del Refugio 219 is a must-visit.

El ambiente es tranquilo, las bebidas saben bien y la atención es buena, nada extraordinario pero amable. Es un lugar para escaparse en algún momento que se necesite tranquilidad y lejos de los lugares concurridos sin perder calidad.

The Coffee was pretty good and they had a variety of tasty pastries as well, but it was really pricey and the music they played was too loud while the quality from the music box was bad. Also there are not many tables to sit at, just two big ones, but usually you won’t have it for yourself alone.
