No matter what time of day it is, when you enter this space you lose track of time because of how cozy it feels. It’s a concept not everyone has; you find creative and unique details in every corner.

Part of the Calidia experience is that, each season or month, our customers can discover a new menu. We design the bakery items, beverages, and food from scratch, offering innovative options alongside our fixed menu.

The intention was to bring a different concept to Durango: a space that combined technique, innovation in beverages, and clear inspiration from international projects that understood coffee as an experience, not just consumption.

Salón Apache was born from a desire to share Mexican craft done right. We’re the only cantina—probably the only space of its kind—with a curation that is 100% Mexican clear distillates.

Managing events, collaborations, exhibitions, music sessions, as well as the curatorship needed to keep the space alive, requires a much greater investment of time and energy than we imagined, and it forced us to understand that the project isn’t just a physical place but a living community where bonds are formed.

There were no nearby projects offering coffees from other parts of Mexico, and that seemed like a huge challenge. I didn’t know if the neighborhood would take it well, but the goal was clear: to create a decentralized project and build a community. 

If Nebulosa were a city, it would be in Mos Eisley, on the planet Tatooine, in the Star Wars universe. You don't come here just for coffee… you come to start your next adventure.

Our advice: don’t try to analyze the coffee. Just sit and watch how the light breaks through the leaves of the trees, and how people rehearse their own happiness over freshly baked bread. That three-minute peace is probably the most expensive and rare item on our menu.

Espíritu was born at the foothills of a mountain, rooted in a generational love for coffee and conceived as a window into origin. From the hands and hearts of our people to the final cup.

The original idea was simple: to offer tea, coffee, or matcha while people shopped. We opened with that quiet, almost understated intention. But something unexpected happened.

We're a cultural space that unites the city's music lovers. If you're visiting Monterrey and you enjoy music and coffee, Las Dunas is a must-visit.

From the beginning it was built with a dream and a mission: to decentralize and take specialty coffee in a different direction with meaning, attention to small details and responsible awareness in its consumption.

I think of my childhood dinner table in Korea: warm rice, kimchi, simple soup, and love that needed no words. Today, I'm also inspired by Mexican markets, small kitchens, and pots marked by time. Imperfect places, but alive.

Service First - Quality Always has been our mantra since 1990. Our team takes great care to help our film users make shooting on film a repeatable, enjoyable experience. Encourage customers to print their photos so their memories last for decades.

“Permanent discoverers” is a lifestyle we enjoy; whether it's in music, flavors, or places. It's about seeing the everyday through the eyes of a tourist, discovering that daily life is full of countless details that make it special.

The initial, distinctive proposition that served as inspiration and continues to this day was the sale and playback of vinyl records, making them pioneers at the time in merging these two passions. There couldn't have been a better combination.

Often, customers return to share something they made from the last book they borrowed: cookies, a slice of cake, or even sourdough bread. It's deeply moving; when books come alive and create connections, our daily lives take on a little more meaning.

We wanted to turn this passion into something shared and to create a space dedicated to enjoying life, where specialty coffee becomes the perfect excuse for connection. A place to sit without rushing, to enjoy things well made, and to celebrate rigor without losing tenderness

From the very beginning, the intention was to create a community within a space that felt warm and welcoming. The idea was not simply to open a café, but to create a place where people could slow down, have unhurried conversations, and feel accompanied.

What we enjoy most is the interaction with the beautiful community that has formed. Sitting for a while and enjoying the warm lights of the bar when the sun goes down. Creating and experimenting with coffee to offer experiences to those who visit us.

Democratizing specialty coffee and removing that “untouchable” or pretentious label from it. We always say our mantra: “Specialty isn’t fancy, but it tastes like fancy.” We want people to lose their fear of trying something different.

From our origins, what made us different was hospitality. To be able to see the smile of our customers when they take their first sip of coffee, or the surprise when they take their first bite of a croissant, fills my heart and makes me feel alive.

Our proposal is different. Here, coffee takes center stage, without syrups or added flavors. It has been a challenge, but also a conviction. We have not wanted to change that, even if the path is slower.

We are inspired by a love for coffee as a ritual. We come from a Lebanese background where coffee is a language of respect and generosity.Coffee was always the central element at any family or friends gathering. It represents an open-door way of living: offering coffee is saying, “I open my home and my heart to you.”

Specialty coffee bars are born from a need to go deeper and to connect. We wanted to help foster an appreciation for specialty coffee, and we were part of the beginning of a boom of interest in higher-quality coffee and more careful preparation.

It's a place where quality coffee meets creativity and productivity. Since its opening, the mission has been to create a space that can be called a "creative hotspot," where you can come to drink coffee, work, find inspiration, and participate in artistic activities and workshops.

We are inspired by the local art scene; we believe that stronger and more impactful projects can be built together as a community. Artists like Hecho en Cancún, Alex Lechuga, and Elena Caltz, and places like the Lodoso pottery workshop and the Ki’Neek’ chocolate shop, are doing things particularly well.

Life, art, and photography are fleeting. This project was born from —and continues to grow through— a concept of resilience. We see it as something ever-changing: adapting to the market and the goals we want to achieve, while keeping its core identity. Our challenge is to avoid monotony, and we put our heart and dedication into making the gallery grow and evolve.

The idea of "ikigai" still guides how we work. Enjoying the process, taking pride in the details, and doing things properly even when no one’s watching. It’s a reminder to focus on the craft, what we’re passionate about, and let the results speak for themselves.

Analog processes still have much to teach us. Part of our inspiration comes from sharing the photographic legacy inherited from photographer José Hernández Claire, Leonardo's father, and architect Salvador de Alba, Sergio's grandfather, both passionate about photography and who had their own darkroom at home.

I wanted to combine two of my passions: enjoying something delicious, different, and well-made while reading or listening to music. I've always felt a special connection with print media and with "informal" reading —the kind you enjoy without screens and without rushing.

In the book world, it's a common saying that you'll never have the book a customer asks for. Our bookstore is more about being captivated by the opportunity presented by a book that happens to occupy a certain space.

Bookstores have basic routines: sweeping, taking out the trash, organizing books, etc. One of the most exciting moments happens when books arrive that need to be cataloged, appraised, or even researched. The world of used books is a map without end.

My partner and I are fans of design, photography, music, architecture; we constantly keep in mind the words of Rulfo, O’Gorman, Fernanda Canales, Puma Blue, Men I Trust, Ultra 54. They help us fill the space with ideas, materials and sounds. 

With Mariana Enríquez, we would perform an invocation with several initiated magicians, followed by a horror reading. With Camila Sosa, a session with mezcal and boleros about unrequited love, followed by a performance of her latest thesis novel about domestication.

We expanded our ideas, our activities, our commitment to the world of books, to our community, to the causes we consider just. We broadened our way of thinking and seeing the world of books in which we were moving.

What always guides us is the certainty that within the chaos that this great city can be, there are always those who seek an oasis of tranquility. And our intention is that they find it at Clarice.

We learned, in part, from Max Ramos, one of Mexico's most important booksellers, to respect and dignify the bookselling profession. We consider it a profession with a beautiful tradition, one that has also faced the challenges of modern life.

The bookstore was born from the idea of ​​bringing rare, unique, collectible, and hard-to-find books to readers from different parts of the world. From the beginning, we sought to offer a different perspective on books, one that fosters a sense of discovery. 

We believe in a horizontal, non-hierarchical, cooperative, and collaborative form of work organization. We believe in free culture, promoting freedom of access, use, and distribution of any cultural content. We believe in self-management, autonomy, and independence from the state and large corporations.

When someone comes to the bookstore looking for something special, it's like starting a treasure hunt or embarking on a shared journey between us and the customer. However, the most rewarding part happens when they return and tell us how much they enjoyed the book, and that's when the treasure hunt begins again. 

I thought about the creativity required to set up a bookstore: the space design, the layout, and, of course, the selection. Having an independent bookstore is also a way to express yourself.

The bookstore is a pluralistic space, just like the books themselves. That's why the catalog selection is so important to us; the books the bookstore contains shape the narrative of the space itself.

Everything that is part of contemporary art is present at EXIT. I think its specialization is what makes the difference. It has also become a meeting point for artists, gallery owners, curators, cultural managers, and the general public interested in art. 

The physical store was designed to encourage browsing and the discovery of new books. Our goal is to spark curiosity; we believe that often the book you end up buying isn't the one you were looking for, but the one that happened to be right next to it.

Art and design continue to be associated with a high degree of elitism. In our bookstore, we have a wide selection of books not only about art, but also about how to understand art. We also strive to explain it simply in our communication. Because art isn't something to show off, it's something to share.

We like to think of Silvestra as imbued with feminine energy, from its origin to the cup—the energy of care, creativity, quality craftsmanship, and what is born honestly and sustained with intention. We came for the bread, fell in love with the coffee, and are still here for everything this place continues to awaken. 

We're interested in working with photographers who are passionate about analog photography. We'd love to collaborate with them on reviewing and producing their portfolios, experimenting with tests, sharing processes, and giving them a firsthand look at how an image is created from scratch.

Medio Cuadro Lab was born in mid-2020 more out of necessity than a project. Photographers like us didn't have a lab readily available; there wasn't one in Puerto Vallarta, so we forced ourselves to build one ourselves.

We are influenced by Japanese spirituality and the dedication they put into crafts and techniques like sashiko, in which, through patience and dedication, they create beautiful and aesthetically pleasing repairs. Thus, we identify each roll as a unique vision that requires patience, care, and respect.

Having explored a large part of Jimbocho, the book district in Tokyo, and entered as many bookstores as my feet and energy allowed, made me believe that it is possible for so many bookstores to coexist in the same city and that they are all visited for the very different things they have to offer.

I find it interesting to create a routine and a ritual within Simón. I think that being on two such busy avenues allows you to choose to own the street, become a part of other people's daily lives, and also create a community among the neighboring stalls.

We always return to the idea that gave us our start: light as a form of expression. It is our creative beacon and what reminds us that each roll of film and each image is a different way of seeing and sharing the world.

On the surface, Grana as a project strives to be relaxed, and we invite our guests to have a good time. However, every step we take is intentional. We love to experience through play, and we can't deny that nostalgia inspires us.

Liminal was born from the goal of becoming a transitional space between a coffee bar, kitchen, and bookstore. Throughout the project, other cultural forms have been added, such as exhibitions of works by local artists and film and book clubs.

We're disruptive, eager to explore new methods and flavors. Our ritual is a sensorial journey—from the cup of coffee to cocktails, including art and workshops. We seek to surprise with every topic and every sip: not knowing what to expect is part of our mischievous game.

The moment I walked in, I knew exactly where everything would go. Most chefs I know, when asked this same question, always answer, "They didn't choose the place, the place chose them." Honestly, I never believed in that until it happened to me.

We're always looking to collaborate. It's one of our goals: to be the café with the most collaborations, because that's what the name means: compay is friend, compay is family, it's community.

We love to be deeply committed to seasonal menus. We do countless tests and share our opinions so we can improve recipes. Although our creativity isn't just focused on the menu, it's also focused on special events and their organization.

We're designers by profession, and we design basically everything for Trama, from the mugs to the bookcases, so some things fell by the wayside over time. But they're already in progress; we like the idea of ​​Trama as a place of constant change.
