great breakfast, excellent fruits and a healthy menu. My girlfriend and I told this menu to 2 people and we loved both their coffee and their fruits. It cost a total of 2600 pesos.

This cafe has good espresso. It has a traditional atmosphere so good if you want to linger, not so much if you need a quick fix. I don't know why it doesn't show up for espresso or Cafe since it is a cafe with cafe in its name? But it is one of the more traditional in mendoza.

The Jockey Club Café in Mendoza has the rich atmosphere of a movie set. Like something out of The Godfather. But they have great food, excellent coffee with milk., good Wi-Fi service, and a talented and kind staff. Highly recommended particularly for breakfast or lunch lunchtime.
