“ The view is spectacular!! It is absolutely worthy because of it - it’s beautiful! I didn’t order any food, so I cannot comment on it. The hot chocolate (spicy one with chilly and pepper) was great - decadent, creamy, thick, not too sweet! Thumbs up! I’d love to go again! ”
“ Interesting system to allow everyone to see the view of the palacio, there is usually a long queue, once you’ve got to the front they seat you in the first section away from the balcony view, after some time, once you’ve ordered and half way through your drinks they invite you to the balcony section where you can see the view. Coffee is pretty standard nothing special, we also ordered the blackberry cheesecake which was nice ”
“ I was relieved that they give everyone a maximum time to sit in the front porch so everyone can enjoy the view. They seat you on the tables in back and take your order in the meantime. We got a mango smoothie and an iced coffee, both were refreshing and perfect for the humid day. The area is well covered from the sun too. ”
“ Found this gem inside of Sears. Had a great view of Palacio de Bellas Artes. It was a warm day, so we ordered the mangonada and tamarindo. Both were delicious and refreshing. They control the seats at the bar so everyone gets a chance to see the great view, and listen to the hustle and bustle below. Overall great experience, I’d go back. ”
“ Reasonably priced and amazing view. They have an organised system so that everyone gets a turn at a prime table. They also limit sitting times to 40 min which is good because it means you don't have to line up for too long. My drink was tasty and I thought it was worth it for the view! ”
