Best Cafés To Work From In Cancún

Where to stay in Cancún

After living the island life for two weeks, I stayed in Cancún for a week to catch up on some stuff. I stayed in downtown Cancún, which is the area I’d recommend you to stay in if you’re planning to get some work done. Unlike the hotel zone, this area feels very local and gives you a chance to experience the Mexican way of life. It’s also far more affordable than the very touristy hotel zone. Make sure to check out the lively Parque de las Palapas, the main square in downtown Cancún, to get a taste of Mexican food, pick up souvenirs and, if you’re lucky, catch a show at the central stage.

Best cafés to work from in Cancún

After trying out various cafés, I found these to be the best cafés to work from in Cancún.

Ché Ché

My personal favourite! I went there for breakfast every single morning during the 10 days I stayed in Cancún. They have delicious smoothie bowls, avocado toasts, juices and coffee, as well as some typical Mexican food and veggie burgers. It’s a convenient place to sit down with your laptop – thanks to the A/C it’s nice and cold in there, which is much needed in the Mexican heat. Ché Ché seems to attract a lot of digital nomads, as the majority of the guests were usually working from their laptops.

The Bowl Bar

The Bowl Bar is the typical breakfast and lunch kind of place. They have a huge variety of healthy food, such as smoothie bowls, smoothies, wraps, sandwiches and omelettes. It’s nicely decorated and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. There didn’t seem to be as much of a working from your laptop kind of vibe here as in Ché Ché, but they were perfectly fine with people bringing their laptops.

Rooster Café

Rooster Café is my favourite for going for a coffee and something sweet in the afternoon. Although they do serve breakfast, I found it to be more of a lunch or pastry kind of place. But I guess it all depends on what your preferences are. The breakfast was too heavy for me, it consisted mostly of eggs and beans – mainly omelettes and . can especially recommend the cinnamon rolls!

Starbucks Bonampak

While it might be a basic option, after all it’s a Starbucks – but I still feel that it had to be included! The atmosphere is very much work or study type of vibe, as most of the people there seemed to be either working or doing some sort of group projects from their laptops. It’s the perfect place to sit down with a coffee and get some thing done – and as everyone else seemed to be working hard, I feel like it made me more focused as well.
