Even from the curb, Cupido exudes cool. In the midst of the bustle of Cuauhtémoc just a short walk from the park, Cupido is a design-forward retreat filled with a fashionable, creative crowd that goes from coworking in the mornings to hanging out in the afternoons. The steel accents, dark wood, and velvet touches from Formant Studio read like a vibey lounge but work as an all-day environment.

Though it leads with the aesthetics, it also has substance behind the style. Coffee, tea, light bites and perfectly layered pastries. It’s the kind of spot that works for whatever you need it for: a coffee to go, a working lunch, an hour catching up with a friend, or a quick pick me up tucked away from the block outside. Minimalist without feeling sterile, intimate without feeling precious, Cupido earns its aesthetic credentials by actually being good.
