“ After visiting Japan, I’m a sucker for anything with Japanese influence. This seems to be sprinkled around CDMX, and I’m here for it. Had a simple latte with whole milk and it was absolutely delicious. Their mugs and plates are lovely and the interior definitely gives me Japan vibes. Add this to your CDMX visit. You won’t be disappointed ”
“ I think this is one of the best coffee places in the neighborhood. In our 6 day stay in CDMX, we went back multiple times for their coffee. Their baked goods are very good: hojicha bread was soft and moist inside and outer layer was not too sweet. We tried their food menu. Oyakodon was on point: the temperature was right, the consistency of the rice with runny egg was amazing. The owner worked as a chef in Tokyo for many years so the food and his attention to detail for his coffee were exceptional. ”
“ Great little cafe. Best espresso. Served in handmade cups. Bathroom has a Japanese toilet! Sweet. ”
“ I chatted with the barista here for a few minutes, their coffee was phenomenal. Had a flat white that had really good flavor and was nice and creamy. The ambience of the cafe is perfect for a chill hangout with one or two friends, not much space for more. They also serve small bites - we saw some really tasty looking waffles being served to the people next to us. ”
“ I m sad I dint discover this incredible place before, i felt like i was transported to a cafe in Japan, the food was phenomenal, cooked to perfection and the best part is Fuji the owners pet, she is just a wonderful blessed presence here. I was so happy being here and will be back. The coffee is also exceptionally crafter. ”
“ Wonderful Japanese coffee shop. Cortado was excellent - lighter roast with fruity notes. Wonderful French toast. Would definitely come back ”
“ Anyone rating this place below 5 stars is just wrong. My partner and I were fortunate enough to stay just across the street from Raku, making it an almost daily go-to during our trip. The coffee is the best I tried in the city, by far. The food is as authentic as it gets outside of actually being in Japan. The bonus is the owners dog, Fuji, a Japanese Akita inu who blesses the space with her presence daily. Everything here appears to be made in house, with the majority of food being made-to-order, so don’t be surprised if it takes a bit longer than usual to arrive at your table. ”
“ Okay, I am so impressed with coffee and sandos that I now want to try every single item on their menu. The flat white was so delicious—perfectly made and the beans are very good quality. The grilled cheese sandwich was absolutely out of this world!!! The fluffy milk bread, melty cheese combined perfectly with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes are marinated in yummy herbs. I just want to have this sando every day for the rest of my life. The Greek yogurt sando was super good too—not overly sweet, ripe, sweet berries, and again, delicious milk bread with a nice little char on it. Other pastries were coming out as they are being made, made freshly in house. I love this place and I want to take it home with me ”
