Espiritu Cafe roasts its own crop in Jardines de San Manuel, Puebla, and offers sixteen filter methods plus an espresso tonic worth the detour.
Signature drink: Espresso tonic
Tip: Sixteen filter methods sit behind the bar, so tell the barista what you like rather than reading the whole list.

Antes Meridiano bakes on Calzada Zavaleta in Puebla and shuts at three, a morning-only room of sourdough toast, house jam and specialty coffee.
Signature drink: Filter coffee
Tip: Everything shuts at 15:00, so this is a breakfast and mid-morning address rather than an afternoon one on Zavaleta.

Atta Salon Cafe works only with specialty coffee on 5 Sur in Puebla, balancing espresso against alternative methods and its own pastry counter.
Signature drink: Espresso
Tip: Works only with specialty coffee and bakes its own pastry, which makes 5 Sur the tidiest coffee stop south of the Zocalo.

Senorita Caruso bakes in house on 3 Sur in Puebla and serves light lunches beside the coffee, a quiet room a few streets south of the Zocalo.
Signature drink: Filter coffee
Tip: Pastry is baked in house and the lunch plates are light, so this works as a second breakfast rather than a full meal.

Black Cat, Black Rabbit roasts its own beans on 6 Oriente in Puebla and mixes coffee with mezcal in drinks you will not find elsewhere in the Centro.
Signature drink: Mezcal coffee
Tip: It roasts its own beans and then mixes them with mezcal, which is not a combination on offer anywhere else on 6 Oriente.

Mi Amigo Cafe keeps a small 7 Poniente counter in Puebla, pouring Veracruz Jiribilla coffee beside bagels and a CBD menu a few steps off the Zocalo.
Signature drink: Cafe con Jiribilla
Tip: Small enough that two tables count as busy, a block west of the Zocalo, and the drinks card runs to CBD as well as coffee.
