Mexico City sits at the intersection of coffee production and consumption. Some of the world's finest beans grow in Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz — just hours away — and the city's cafes showcase them with pride. Roma and Condesa are the specialty epicentres, with roasters often maintaining direct relationships with nearby producers. Café de olla (coffee brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo) is the traditional local drink.
