Cafe Condesa

I have passed this little cafe on West 10th street numerous times and it is always full. This little cafe is one on those non-restaurants that turns out restaurant quality fare from a limited kitchen. Brunch is a good introduction to this very friendly little spot. The food here is oriented toward the Mexican arena so be in the mood for a little sabor. My favorite part about brunch were the amazing croissants baked on premises. Though the dough is made elsewhere these just baked and warm croissants with strawberry preserves are bread heaven. Also delish was the large cup of Mexican hot chocolate- slightly rich and chocolatey this was a good compliment to the spice in the food and perfect for dunking the delectable croissants into. I enjoyed the poblano benedict with a small salad though it wasn't over the top. There are also huevos rancheros and huevos a la Mexicana as well as some brunchtime salad offerings. Other than the food the waitstaff was exceptionally nice hence this place rocks.
