Welcome to Café Petra, a charming gem nestled in the heart of Ensenada. Located at C. Séptima 241 in the vibrant Zona Centro, this café merges a warm, inviting atmosphere with an exceptional coffee experience that locals and visitors adore.

Upon stepping into Café Petra, you are greeted by a cozy, intimate setting that feels remarkably inviting—what some may affectionately call a "hole in the wall." The café occupies a quaint old house, complete with an outdoor sitting area where you can enjoy your drink while soaking in the fresh air and tranquility. It’s the perfect backdrop for both quiet reads and intimate conversations.

Café Petra stands out not just for its ambiance but for its commitment to crafting exceptional coffee. With beans roasted right on-site, every cup promises to deliver rich flavors and a silky smooth texture. The coffee offerings include a delectable array of options, from the fan-favorite Macadamia Latte to unique blends like the Veracruz blend. Patrons rave about the perfect balance of flavors—a sentiment echoed by Gerson Yepez, who described the cappuccino as “frothed to perfection.” Coffee purists will be particularly thrilled to discover that they serve exquisite pour-overs and espresso shots that allow every subtle note of the bean to shine through, as scott Olson enthusiastically notes.

Café Petra doesn’t just excel with its coffee; it also offers delightful sweet treats. Guests can indulge in scrumptious pastries and incredible crepes, with highlights like the Nutella and banana creation that has won the hearts of many, including Arashk Mahjoubi Amine, who couldn’t resist the temptation to try one! Whether you're looking to start your day with a boost or winding down in the afternoon, the café offers an assortment of specialty drinks to satisfy all cravings.

The friendly staff adds to the experience, having garnered accolades for their welcoming demeanor and attentiveness, making every visit feel personal and cherished. A beautiful park located nearby provides an ideal setting for a stroll post-coffee, recommended by Jorge Ayon, who emphasizes the delightful combination of enjoying a warm drink followed by a peaceful walk.

Don’t miss out on this delightful spot where coffee lovers and casual enthusiasts alike can find solace and indulge their taste buds. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Café Petra is a must-visit destination that promises to elevate your café experience.

Cute new coffee shop which roasts their own beans. Friendly owner and delicious coffee with silky smooth foam, rich flavours and a nice little cup to bring it all together!

Calm, specialty coffee shop. Not many people. The staff is nice and they have a variety of drinks other than coffee. They also have some pastries.

Great coffee. Veracruz blend is on point. Well-balanced flavors and notes. Cappuccino was frothed to perfection. Perfect amount of air ratio. I was received by their roaster/owner/barista. They also have in-house bakery. I did not try any, but just an FYI.

This place is the perfect description of a hole in the wall. Super cozy and cute and serves perfect coffee and crepes. Sorry, I got too excited to take a picture but the macadamia latte and Nutella/banana crepe were fabulous. Highly recommend it. Ok, after few weeks still great.

Amazing coffee! I had a vanilla latte, while my wife had a dirty chai tea. We were beyond satisfied with the service and drinks! It is located next to a beautiful and quiet park that was amazing to walk around after we finished up! I recommend others to stop by!

The coffee selection is outstanding. The barristas make really good coffee drinks. I'm a coffee purist & like pour-overs & strait espresso shots; those drinks let the bean, & the barrista's art, shine through. The pour-overs & espresso shots here are fantastic. They have Geisha & it's delicious.

Yummy specialty coffee roasted by the owner and his team. The café is in an old cute house with an outside sitting area.
