Mérida
Café
Couples, groups of students, and lots of families crowd this bustling coffeehouse at the Centro Cultural Dante, just above Mérida's largest bookshop. The house specialty is crepes: there are 10 varieties with either sweet or savory fillings. Light entrées such as sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and molletes (large open-face rolls smeared with beans and cheese and then broiled) are also served, along with cappuccino, specialty coffees, beer, and wine. The restaurant has more traditional Yucatecan dishes like sopa de lima, too.
