About

Choux Choux Cafe solves the problem of where to get an early breakfast before exploring Playa del Carmen. The bohemian-style bistro opens at 7 AM, making it your go-to for a hearty breakfast before going out on a Scuba Playa dive.

Its location is also appealing since it’s only a 10-minute walk from Quinta Avenida. Such convenience makes it perfect as a starting or ending point for shopping boutiques and exploring everything the popular bustling street offers.

Choux Choux Cafe has earned glowing feedback for friendly service and art-centric decor. Caffeine junkies rant about the delicious coffee, while others speak highly of the diverse breakfast dishes.

Equally enjoyable and appealing is the experience of visiting the restaurant itself. The interior features eclectic artwork, whimsical colors, and rustic decor. The palapa-style thatched roof over the entry lets diners dine al fresco in comfort. It’s perfect for people-watching or relaxing after a day at the beach.

Dining at this cafe will leave a pleasing, lasting impression. Whether you sip rich lattes or sink your teeth into mouth-watering chilaquiles or eggs Benedict, you’ll taste fresh, home-cooked goodness.

Vibe

Whether you drive or walk, Choux Choux Cafe’s exterior will pique your curiosity. With a thatched roof over the front porch and tropical plants lining the sidewalk, you’ll feel like you’re at a jungle hideaway. This theme invites diners to enter, relax, and experience a unique atmosphere.

The interior combines rustic, industrial, and artistic elements into a one-of-a-kind decor. Large windows let natural light into the room, making it feel like you’re dining outdoors instead of inside.

The large Mayan-inspired mural on one 20’ wall will catch your eye. In addition, rich turquoise, lavender, and green colors pop beside the white wall. The tin roof, open-air design, and stained concrete floor add an industrial touch, while wooden tables and quirky light fixtures make the area eclectic.

The warm, accepting atmosphere caters to vacationers, bloggers on laptops, locals, and families preparing for a day of adventure. The rich aroma of coffee and delicious food as it is being prepared in the kitchen floats on the tropical breeze.

With its artsy decor, friendly vibe, and versatile dining spaces, Choux Choux Cafe captures the spirit of a Yucatan getaway.

Seaweed (sargassum) is a natural occurrence and tends to peak on some of the beaches in the Playa del Carmen area during the summer months.
