Local 59 is the latest cafe to open in the popular barrio of Santiago in the historic center of Merida, Yucatan. You can go with a big group and sit at the community table or you can hide in the garden behind the orange tree with a friend. The atmosphere is fresh and clean and fun. The staff is friendly the service is excellent.


It´s the food that is a problem for me. But it might not be a problem for you. I am really finicky about eggs and I don´t really like to eat eggs in restaurants. There isn´t much else on the menu and what there is tends to be heavy like the poblano strips in cream or the tomato hash with bacon. I´m not ever going to have pancakes or cake for breakfast. I have seen how slowly those calories burn off on tread mill. I think a lot of people will really enjoy having breakfast in this artsy space. I will enjoy having my breakfast in bed and occasionally I´ll drop in with guests like I did today.
