Café Caracol Púrpua

Loved this place so much and wish I could have spent more time here. I stopped in quickly on my last day in Oaxaca and I loved the vibes, the art, the coffee, and the employee was so kind! I highly recommend making the stop - buy coffee and support local! I visited thanks to a recommendation from the Hierba Maestra Gallery (go check that out too!) 🎉

Lovely place and really good coffee & sandwich. Staff was the best - they didn’t have bread for my sandwich at first, but offered me multiple alternatives and were very forthcoming as in they went immediately to buy new bread just for me. Highly recommend

A really wonderful cafe tucked away on a quiet street in Oaxaca. There are a couple locations in the city. This one has great art for purchase as well as chocolates and bags of coffee. The service was very nice and we enjoyed sitting here in the morning. They are known for their chocolates and coffee.

They also seem to have lunch food options as well but we didn't try those.

I was initially skeptical of their coffee when I saw the espresso machine that looked old/small. But the espresso is actually delicious. The milk in my macchiato wasn't very good though. It was like watery as if they used skim rather than whole milk.

Also had a 80% dark chocolate bar which was DELICIOUS.

Having a fan running in here on the hot days would have been a nice touch.

Lovely little shop on a side street. We had a great cappuccino and V60. This shop is cash only. Great service and fairly quiet. Restrooms at the top of the stairs.

One of the best coffee I had in Oaxaca! The place is quiet, perfect to work on laptops, write or read. The quality of coffee is excellent, same for their chocolate. They roast their coffee beans, coming from local producer and do their own chocolate also. They also do tasting workshops. I will go back!

This was my go-to cacao place while I was in Oaxaca for two months. Delicious cacao, good service, friendly staff.

Great coffee, lovely staff and delicious food. The table behind me were having a oaxacan coffee tasting experience & hot chocolate that left me wanting to try more!

Delicious food, incredible coffee and tasty chocolate. It's a small space, but the staff is so friendly and kind!

Lovely little independent cafe. Great coffee and super friendly. Well worth a visit.

This place is soooooo good. They make their own chocolate, roast their own coffee beans and make their own kombucha. And the cookies! Holy shhhh. Pretty sweet art as well.
I will be back

Highly recommend! Very well prepared coffe. You will find everything you want from a barista. Go for the V60

Great service, amazing coffee and outstanding music selection to start your day

Really nice coffee shop - emphasis on Coffee. They roast their own. If you like coffee than this place is worth a visit.

This coffee shop is wonderful. Wonderful service and wonderful coffees and chocolates. We want to go back there when we are going to Oaxaca again.

Best coffee so far in Oaxaca. Very smooth beans and a perfectly made cappuccino.

Everything you wish for in a coffee shop! Really tasty high quality coffee and a batista that knows his coffee game. He recommended which coffee to choose for which extraction method and it was so good. Also the place has wifi and free drinking water if you need to do some travel planning or working. Nice place to just hang out for a bit! On top of that the staff is really friendly and you can buy some small souvenirs in the store. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We found this place wondering around Oaxaca as bd stopped for espresso. Just wonderful! Coffee was amazing that we bought a bag to take back with us.

I read about this cafe in an article when I first came arrived in Oaxaca looking for a great cafe. Absolutely love it!
Smaller, artsy cafe with delicious coffee! My fiancée and I purchased some of their coffee to use in our aero press at home and absolutely love it! They also make and sell their own chocolate with a variety of flavors that is equally delicious 👌🏽👌🏽
