Café Nin

"Cafe Nin is run by the same team as Panadería Rosetta in Roma Norte, and we've found that this bakery and cafe has shorter wait times—especially if you come on a weekday—and the baked goods are just as good. Even though their salads and quiches are great, come for breakfast. Conveniently, Cafe Nin is also located in front of some of Juárez’s best stores, which makes it a useful place to fuel up or take a break before or after some shopping. " - guillaume guevara

"You’ll run into long lines and possibly portable ring lights at Panaderia Rosetta, a bakery that makes the famous guava pastry. Sure, join the line if you want, but they also operate Cafe Nin in Juarez, where you can get that same pastry stuffed with guava paste and cream cheese (which, yes, really is that good) and spend less time waiting. The inside is small, but they have a leafy seating area out front with tables for maximum enjoyment and minimum crumbs. You’ll also be conveniently located by some of Juarez’s best shops for some post-butter, pre-fish browsing. However, if you’ve romanticized waiting in line at Panaderia Rosetta, then by all means, do it. This is your day. " - willa moore

"Cafe Nin is run by the same team as Panaderia Rosetta in Roma Norte, but the wait-time is shorter and the baked goods are just as good. Breakfast is the meal you should prioritize here, especially if you aren’t in a rush—the big, cozy townhouse with bistro-style tables is the perfect place to have a full meal. Fuel up with a big plate of eggs and a few pastries, then spend the rest of the afternoon shopping at the nearby boutiques." - Guillaume Guevara

"For breakfast try this spot in the hip, up-and-coming Juárez neighborhood, and go on a weekday if you can to avoid a wait." - BySantiago Pérez, as told to Amiel Stanek
