25 Best Cafes in Tulum

“Excellent Mexican-Asian fusion restaurant, with quite a lot of vegetarian options. Portions are a bit on the small side - we shared 4 dishes among the two of us. But this means you can sample more dishes ? Good drinks selection too and friendly staff.“

“I loved it here. It’s right off a main strip where you can see people walking up and down.I ordered a waffle with strawberries and gelato and enjoyed it.The place was nice and neat. I stopped by around 10pm on Tuesday night and found it quite relaxing.“

“This is a real French bakery in Tulum!!
A real treat, croissant pain au chocolat just like at home!!
I even tasted the spinach béchamel croissant which is a delight, very sweet but very good coconut chocolate roll, the coffee is good oh yes and their habanero sauce and the other with peanut are really competitive olalalala, I have took enough strength and smile to have an excellent day, thank you for the batch, good luck to you!!!

Vegetarian options: There is everything and you can request something tailor-made

Parking: Often space in front“

“If you’re in love with cats & coffee, this is the place for you. We were thrilled to find an ‘unofficial’ cat cafe that also served delicious coffees and food! Really enjoyed our on-the-go breakfast and lattes with chai. Beautiful jungle setting. Sending love to the kitties, Michael, Uva (Uba?), Olive & the rest. Thank you for taking care of them & your patrons so well ?“

“Hands down, the best breakfast in Tulum. Pancakes are heavenly...so fluffy and fresh. The avocado toast is very tasty, and the fruit, granola, and yogurt is best we've had here. Easily accessible, cute little garden seating, friendly staff. Definitely make this one of your breakfast spots!“

“I quite like this place for breakfast, you have several options and the portions are quite large so one dish is enough for one person, you have tables outside if you want to be outdoors and they also have an area to work with a computer in case You need it, I highly recommend the enchiladas, eggs rancheros and the drinks which are quite large.“

“This small cafe in Tulum is a hidden gem, very popular with locals and tourists for its excellent menu. Surrounded by vegetation, it gives you the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle, which adds a special touch to the experience. Although the location is convenient, finding parking can be a challenge, so it is most convenient to arrive by bicycle or motorbike.
The service is good, and the service at the counter is fast, which is appreciated when the place is full. The menu offers the typical breakfast fare, but with high quality ingredients that make the difference. The price-value ratio is adequate, especially considering that you are in Tulum.
In short, this cafeteria is an excellent option to enjoy a delicious and healthy breakfast. Its unique atmosphere and the quality of its dishes make it worth returning, as long as you are willing to deal with the parking issue.

Parking: Not many parking spaces for commercial premises,“

“This was the first breakfast spot we tried in Tulum and it was great. Highly recommend getting a pastry and/or flan from here. We later tried other places and this place had the best flan hands down. Also had grapefruit juice with my order and, again, it was the best out of all of the other places I ordered this drink from.“

“Carlos was so great with his service. This place does not miss. Everything I've tried was amazing. We loved the smoothies, acai bowls, waffles, and pastries :) Thank you for making our trip so memorable.“

“I absolutely loved Fresco’s Tulum! The fact that the staff speaks English made everything so easy and welcoming. There were plenty of vegan options to choose from, and every single dish was delicious. The service was outstanding – everything was prepared very quickly, and the staff was so attentive and kind. The atmosphere was perfect, adding to the overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend Fresco’s to anyone visiting Tulum. Everything was just amazing!💚“

“Many thanks to Leo and Paloma for a great breakfast experience here today. The croissants we had were quite good, and the coffee was very much to our taste (good ratio of coffee to water, stronger than others we tried in Tulum but without being too bitter or sour).

Leo spoke English quite well and was super patient with us, helping us navigate the menu and explaining the difference between the various pastries they make. He also gave us more info about the coffee they serve, and gave us some good pointers on the attractions around Tulum and the best ways to get there.

We hope to go back before the end of our trip and would definitely recommend the spot.“

“This place is a hidden gem!!! I found them on TikTok and let me tell you everything was amazing. The food was delish!!! The service was great. It did take a while to get our food but totally worth it. Plenty of parking in front. A healthy place to go eat and fresh!“

“I found this address directly on the Internet and I loved having breakfast there. The room team is really super nice. I was even advised of places where there were shops. The food is really nice and the price is not expensive, I really recommend this place.“

“A nice place to enjoy a delicious meal, it has a very delicious variety of pizza, the pasta is good, just with too much oil and the pesto sauce ?
But in everything else very good.

Parking: Well, you have to park along the street, there is space in front or on the sides“

“We just stopped in as we were walking down Tulum shopping and had delicious protein smoothies! My friend and I are on our fitness journey and we’re pleasantly surprised to find this place. These smoothies were made with vegan protein! I’m not vegan and I loved it. I had the vanilla strawberry and my friend had vanilla, coconut and pineapple. There were two super cute and friendly dogs there too. I pet both of them for as long as they wanted. Sweet babies. The staff was friendly and gave us great recommendations for other things we wanted to do. Stop by this place for a sweet and healthy treat!“

“Fresco’s was by far our favorite spot for breakfast/ brunch/ lunch vibes as we came back three times and ordered something different every time. Loved every bit of every dish and I wish we had something this fresh and healthy and FILLING back home. The manager is so welcoming and reassuring that everything is made in house and it tastes that way as well. The smoothies texture was on point, the quality of the fish was great and no tummy aches after eating here, that’s one of the many reasons we kept coming back.“

“I live in Tulum and this is one the better ice cream places. In La veleta neighborhood this is for sure most delicious and good vibe. Creamy consistency, nice staff and cute little seats. I don’t suggest to go to ice cream place at La Taquería at the end of the road. Give this place a try.“

“Mi favorito desayuno de tulum muy rico todo muy amables regresaríamos muchas veces“

“If you are in staying close by the area of this restaurant I strongly recommend!! The gentleman Isidro was awesome welcoming us promptly and suggesting the happy hour. We order the guacamole & chips ( very good) along with the el pastor, 3 barbacoa tacos, and shrimp taco (very spicy but delicious) the drinks made by Gabriela so yummy. Hats off to the chef and the other woman cooking. Over all a great atmosphere and good food! Isidro was awesome. Great food“

“Best breakfast in Tulum. Antony and Carlos are the best and most attentive waiters, genuinely good people. Coffee is excellent, fresh fruit, organic ingredients. Good value for money also. Have been in Tulum for two months and this is the best value and quality for breakfast, have been here more times than I can count!“

“We loved Juanitas! The food, atmosphere and friends we made were amazing. Archie was our personal tour guide taking us through the beautiful dos ojos cenote across the way. He did an amazing job! Explained everything and showed us what to look for. Arturo was our waiter and he was such a vibe! Miguel is the manager who was so great with all his employees as well as making us feel at home. We will definitely be back!“

“One of the few good places in Tulum to have breakfast. The portions are a little small and high in price but they are worth it for the tranquility, the flavor and the service. In the photo the Doña Tinita egg, with feta cheese and black olives; recommended.
The service another plus.“

“A great location! It’s right off the main road as you come into the hotel zone and was one of the only spots open. We stopped by after going to the beach and while we only came for drinks (& shelter from the rain), we came by twice during our stay.“

“Great breakfast spot! Highly recommend the pancakes! No syrup flavors for the coffees though which I was bummed about. Super cute place, we were happy with our choice! We even got to play he ha and other games while we waited for our food :)“

“I had a double shot of espresso with their coconut milk! They’re coconut milk was so creamy and naturally sweet. I highly recommend adding it to any of your coffee choices. They didn’t have cold brew, I’m not sure if it was sold out or not sold. Check out their pottery and art, it’s pretty cute!“
