Oaxaca takes its morning meal seriously, whether that means memelas griddled to order or a slow breakfast over Oaxacan chocolate. In the Centro historico, Memelas Dona Vale on Mercaderes and the breakfast room at Pan:am on Abasolo anchor the traditional end, while Boulenc nearby pulls a younger crowd for sourdough and eggs.
