Best Cafes in Tijuana

Tijuana is a city on the Mexican side of the border with San Diego, and its cafe scene is spread across several streets rather than gathered in one district. The eight places below are all coffee-focused, though some also serve tea, sandwiches or regional dishes. Most are on the west side of the city, along the main boulevards and avenues.

The list runs from a roastery with a long weekday schedule to small specialist shops with shorter hours. Opening times vary a lot, so check before you go, particularly on Sundays, when several places close earlier or open later than on weekdays.
