Clemente Cafe opened on 2 Sur in Puebla in 2020 with a steady espresso bar, molletes and the Cosme sandwich of brie, gouda, pesto and honey.

Cafe Cultura works high-altitude Mexican beans on 4 Sur in Puebla across several brew methods, and hangs work by local artists on the walls.

Atta Salon Cafe works only with specialty coffee on 5 Sur in Puebla, balancing espresso against alternative methods and its own pastry counter.

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.
