Cofetarika, on a terrace above the Danzantes restaurant in the heart of the city center, is open all day from 8 to 6, making it a perfect place for lunch. It offers freshly prepared food and a wide range of gourmet drinks in a relaxing environment.
Manolo is the most traditional of the Oaxacan ice-cream manufacturers, started in 1877. It’s small ice-cream museum is located on the principal city-center street and attracts both locals and tourists. Visitors can experience a wide range of traditional and exotic ice creams including mezcal, corn, and the elusive beso Oaxaqueño (made from carrot, pecan, and appple).
Oaxaca is known for its coffee shops, and a stop at one of them is a great way to break up an afternoon of sightseeing. Coffee Beans is a cozy, two-floor space near Santo Domingo church with yellow walls and local art, open from 8 in the morning until 11 at night. The coffee is local, organic, and delicious.
In front of the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is a tiny park called Jardín Socrates, where half a dozen stands sell ice cream. The hands-down favorite is Nevería El Niagara. Flavors include rosas (roses), elote, and the slightly bitter leche quemada (burned milk). Wrought-iron tables and chairs and lots of shade make this plaza a great place to get out of the sun for a few minutes.
