El Pendulo

We discovered a great bookshop-cum-cafe today called El Pendulo. It's in the middle of Polanco but somehow we missed it until now. Thousands of books including children's (a good amount in English), great selection of DVDs, a rack of bespoke vinyl, armchairs, decent coffee & cakes, even a full-blown menu if you want it. It's the sort of place where you just want to hang out, browse, meet a friend, take your time over a latte and muffin, catch up on emails… which I will certainly be doing. And there are five others dotted around the city. Bliss.
