Bola de Oro - XALAPA-ENRÍQUEZ

Coffee is not bad, service is bad, management needs to address this. If you ask for a basic pack, which is sweet bread and lechero, servers give you attitude, that's not acceptable, you are not getting freebies, clients are paying for it. So even of...its the basic package service should always be the best. If you care about returning clients. This is the situation at least at Plaza Crystal and Araucarias locations in Xalapa, Ver.

The coffee there is good, but then again, there are few bad coffee places in Xalapa. The atmosphere is posh and noisy, with some nice seats looking out at a busy street. They do have good pastries at a reasonable price, given their quality. The...worst aspect of the cafe is their service, which is spotty at best. The servers tend to congregate and talk, not take care of the tables. If all you want is a coffee and a nice talk, being ignored is not a bad thing at all!

I made a school trip to this place. The tour was really good and informative. The guide knew a lot about the agriculture of coffe. The production manager came and also gave us insights. Later we went to see the machinery and they explained us,how...did it work. Lastly we did a professional coffe tasting with a locally famous barista. Bola de oro coffe is good and it is really famous in that area. I would definitely recommend to go the crops are really nice to see.

These places are the local " Starbucks." The local coffee comes from a city know as Coatepec. Many different roasts are available to purchase. There are numerous locations are the city so coffee is never to far away. Food and sweets are good.

If you are a people watcher, this is where to go. The main street Enriquez is usually busy and full of activity and Bola de Oro has been around for over years
