" Raku Café has quickly become my go-to spot whenever I'm in Mexico City! The moment you walk in, the atmosphere sweeps you off your feet—cozy, inviting, and beautifully designed! I tried the Katsu Sando, and it was devine! The meat was tender, and the flavor was spot on—reminded me of the little street stalls back in Tokyo. Grabbed a matcha latte too, and it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, just the way I like it. The service staff were friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. 10/10, would recommend this café to anyone looking for that authentic Japanese café vibe! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Raku Café was lovely; I had the matcha parfait and a chai latte. They were both beautifully presented, showing off the café's dedication to aesthetics. The matcha was really tasty, and it thrilled me to see they use a high-quality matcha! The only downside was the service—our order took longer than expected without much explanation. But all in all, I loved what I ordered and will likely return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Raku Café a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The baristas were welcoming, and the service was quick despite the number of customers. I had the tamago sando, which was flavorful but smaller than I expected for the price. It was definitely delicious, though! I also enjoyed the lovely atmosphere—the indoor seating was comfy and bright. A nice vibe overall, but I’d like to see a few more portion options as I left a bit hungry after my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Japanese culture, this café is a must-visit. Every detail in Raku Café reflects an authentic Japanese aesthetic. I had the chance to try their cold brew and some pastries, and both were remarkable! The coffee had a depth in flavor that's hard to come by in most places, and the pastries were fresh and beautifully made. The owner was around and shared a bit of his journey from Japan, which made our visit more special. The entire ambiance was serene, making it an ideal spot for a weekend brunch. I'd say just try to visit earlier to avoid the crowds! " (*Curated Review*)

" Raku Café impresses with its high-quality coffee, but I had mixed feelings about the food. I ordered the chicken sando, and while it was fresh, it lacked seasoning. The layout of the café is aesthetically pleasing, and a bonus for the design of the restroom! Definitely very Japanese! I think I would go back, but I would stick to coffee or maybe try a pastry next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, Raku Café exceeded my expectations! A friend urged me to stop by while I was exploring Mexico City, and I'm so glad I did! The matcha latte was genuinely one of the best I've ever had—rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. I couldn't resist trying the katsu curry afterward, which was equally fantastic! The flavors reminded me of Japan. The only downside was that the place got quite busy, and it took a bit longer to get our orders. However, the staff was friendly and tried their best to keep up. Highly recommend if you're craving some authentic Japanese comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came with my family to Raku Café for a Sunday breakfast, and we were all quite pleased! The milk bread used in their items creates an amazing texture and flavor. We ordered a variety of things from their menu; everything had a unique touch that delighted our taste buds. The wait staff were friendly and efficient. It was just a bit crowded, which made it necessary to wait for a table for a solid 20 minutes, but it was well worth it in the end. This café has officially made it to our favorite list!
