"Really good place to eat, the breakfast is really good and the service is excellent, we were served by Asael Leyva. He was really nice and friendly to us."

"Heads up foreigners, there is a 7% hidden charge when using your US credit card. The staff says they can't change it, but it's some crap. Check your receipts"
Charles Green
"The cafe late' was ok, the french toast was disgusting. It was served in just a few minutes so was either premade or was delivered frozen but it wasn't cooked to order and was cold. We were afraid the eggs were still raw and didn't eat it. We told the employees but they didn't seem to care."

The Top Brunch Spots In Centro Histórico, Guadalajara
Chaiis a favorite among locals, but particularly among foreigners. With several different locations throughout Guadalajara, the one located in the cute courtyard opposite the Ex Convento del Carmen is one of the most attractive, offering incredibly comfortable outdoor sofa seating options that make getting up and leaving after your meal very hard. Most definitely a spot for lunch, Chai offers well-priced and basic favorites, such as pastas and sandwiches, but also has excellent (and namesake) chai frappes in several flavors.
