🪄✨ History Horse: Café de los tiempos sin tiempo ✨🪄 En el corazón palpitante de Tulum, donde las máscaras del ego suelen bailar al ritmo de la vanidad tropical, se abre un portal que no necesita guardianes ni contraseñas. History Horse no es un café… es un respiro. Un claro en la selva del artificio. Un lugar donde el alma se sienta, pide espresso y se recuerda a sí misma que siempre fue libre. Aquí el café no es solo una bebida: es una ceremonia sin liturgia, una alquimia cotidiana. Los granos —elegidos con precisión casi chamánica— cuentan historias de montañas, manos campesinas y lluvias sagradas. El barista no presume, conjura. El visitante no posa, respira. Y la conversación fluye como un río que ya no tiene que llegar a ningún mar. No hay pretensión, porque no hay separación. La atmósfera es tan honesta como el primer sorbo al amanecer. Gente de todas partes se sienta como iguales, como si en algún plano ya se conocieran desde antes. Y quizás sí. Porque este lugar parece convocar solo a quienes han despertado —o al menos intuyen— que la vida no está en el “parecer”, sino en el “ser”. En History Horse, no se entra: se regresa. ☕️🌿✨ “Cuando uno se da cuenta de que no es diferente del otro, surge la verdadera compasión, la cual es el perfume de la comprensión.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti

Buena atención, un espacio limpio y agradable. Buena atención y un café excepciónal.

Excelente cafe. El mejor de Tulum. Tienen un pan muy rico. En especial el de mezcal🤤🤤. El servicio es rapido por parte de staff. Buena musica para una platica amena o tomar un cafe para relajarse un ratito. Tienen varias opciones de pago.

We loved this place and went many times. Besides the really good coffee made from a Marzocco coffee machine, try the cake and peanut cookies. Absolutely delicious! And great staff and very friendly atmosphere. Loved it as a family!

One of my favorite places in Tulum. Great espresso drinks, but the coffee beans I bought were some of the best I've had. The staff/owners are super knowledgeable. Chill vibe with the outdoor seating as well. Highly recommend!

This was my favorite coffee in Tulum, it’s a new addition to the area. Strong coffee and the chocolate chip cookie was gooey. The outdoor seating is nice and you can just relax and people watch. The interior is aesthetic

Hands down the best coffee in Tulum. If you’re looking for quality specialty coffee from baristas who really know what they’re doing, plus really good service, you have to come here. My flat white was flawless, and my boyfriend’s pour over was incredible.

Shane Woodrow

Always looking for great coffee experiences while travelling and this was it in Tulum! Professional roasters and outstanding barista service. The place is intentionally all about the coffee and vibes. Takeaways are an option but they really want you to sit and enjoy each sip. And it’s worth it.

I had the absolute privilege of having a flat white here to cure my new year’s hangover, and, just wow. This is everything a coffee shop should be. You can really just stop reading here and go get a cup to see for yourself. Tucked away in a quaint corner of Tulum, these guys specialize in processed coffees, with a little more funk than I’d guess most people are used to—but be ready to be converted. This place is a passion project, and that comes through in the cup. About 90% of the beans in the shop are some sort of novel process (honey’s, anaerobic’s— the works), proudly from a Mexican producer, which is far from the typical washed light-roasts of today’s specialty coffee. story horse slapped me out of that snobishness and reminded me how damn good a funky cup can be. If that’s still not your jam, they’ve got some excellent washed coffees too. On top of the excellent brews, the service was phenomenal. Each and every person was asked how their experience was, and even though I didn’t have a morsel of feedback to give, I’m sure it would have been genuinely taken. I’m looking forward to drinking the 4 bags I left with. Bravo.

We tried many, many cafes in Tulum for a solid cup of matcha and finally found the best one. The guys at the counter are wonderful and their latte game is strong (proof is in the pic)! Vibes were also good; I’d go back the next time I’m in the area!

Must go in Tulum if you truly love coffee. I always try to seek out the best coffee and coffee shop when I travel and love bringing beans home and truly this place is IT ! First great vibes immediately indoor and outdoor. Tons of cute small seating options and all outside seats were shaded 🙌🏼. The two guys working there were super kind and knowledgeable about coffee and didn’t seem to mind all of my questions. I asked what he would recommend both for beans to take home and an iced drink for there and I’m so stoked about my pour over when I get home. There is a picture of their current limited special batch cold brew and how they serve it attached and was beautiful and delicious. Super complex, bright flavor and it changed as you drank it / temp changed. Wish I could have come back another time before leaving.

Visited Tulum and found this place! If you are in town looking for specialty coffee, check them out. I had an anaerobic pour over, and my wife had a cappuccino. Both were great and were much needed after a few days of hotel coffee. In addition to the awesome coffee, they had very cool locally made pottery for serving and what appeared to be a Saturday running/coffee club! As I typically do, I bought two natural process coffees, a Geisha and Oaxaca, to bring back to Texas with me. We brewed one this morning in our chemex and loved how clean it was. Best place for coffee in Tulum. Check it out if you can. Kid friendly. Will be back next go round!

I have to add my voice to the chorus of praise here. It's a totally top-tier coffee shop and roaster. I found the coffee by some strange coincidence in the USA, and when I came to Tulum, I went to the shop to check it out. I got a Chemex pourover with the Veracruz beans, and it was stellar. They have the standard espresso options and a few other cold beverages. The shop is pretty small, but it wasn't crowded when I went so no problem finding a seat. There were a few people hanging out outside, but it seems like mostly people order for takeaway. They have wifi if you need it, and one of the guys speaks great english. He taught me some important coffee espanol words when I was there, too! Very nice guy. It's a pretty trendy place that's not trying to be trendy. It's just some local people who are serious about coffee and are making their spot inviting and friendly. A couple other notes - I biked over there through the neighborhood. I'm sure some people would say that's "unsafe" but it didn't seem unsafe at all - really. I would stay off the main roads to avoid traffic and be careful at all intersections. They have AC, which was great to have after the bike ride, but they also have some shaded seating right outside. Also, Tupac was on the playlist. Did I mention great vibes? If you're into coffee, don't miss this spot when you're in Tulum!

If you are a fan of third wave or a specialty coffee, this place is a hidden gem in the center of Tulum. Their aesthetic is awesome and so are their coffees. Price wise is a little bit on the expensive side, but it was the only alternative real third wave coffee place I could find so I guess it makes sense. Then they do roast the coffee right there at the shop, which makes it extra special

Lutz Finger

Best coffee in 170km circle. Come here if you like coffee and espresso. They roast their own beans. They have different roasts to choose from but only for pour overs. They know their art. Today they offered washed bourbon and washed geisha. They even have some international brands to choose from - like apax Labs and Ils. Stunning good. Their espresso is solid Barista work. Keep it up this work and start shipping your beans internationally- I would buy them.

Their cortado was amazing! The staff was very helpful describing the different beans, so I bought a couple to bring back home. Had to come here multiple times during our trip as we were disappointed with the other “specialty” shops in the area. Hands down the best specialty coffee in Tulum!

Maria Elisa Masotti

Here I had one of the best cold brews of my life; location is super cool and stuff hyper nice and attentive. Had to get some beans to bring home. Hands down best coffee in Tulum

Story Horse in Tulum is an absolute gem! The cozy, welcoming atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to enjoy a book or simply relax. What’s amazing about Story Horse is that they roast their own coffee, focusing on light roasts to bring out the best, nuanced flavors in each bean. Their dedication to quality is clear, and their expertise and passion for coffee are truly impressive. This is more than just a café; it's a place to discover new tastes, flavors, and knowledge. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an exceptional coffee experience in Tulum

Ludovic Pao

Amazing coffee, amazing attention to detail. Single origin pour overs were very fruity and flavorful. Truly a hidden gem of Tulum, probably the best specialty coffee of the Yucatan peninsula. Also great music and shop (very unassuming clean aesthetic). Espresso was fruity, juicy and with slight acidity. 6/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jay McBain

Only open 3 weeks but hands down the best coffee in Tulum. These guys were so kind and attentive, the atmosphere inside was great, if this place was in any other city (London, LA, Vancouver) it would be slammed day and night. We got some iced coffees (check pics) which were immense, they’re trying a new roast right now which has a more fruity acidic feel but I really liked it with milk. The woman who works there suggested it’s better as an espresso but I’m a total coffee snob and it was perfect. Small but great menu. Skilled roasters/baristas. Don’t miss this place.

No tienen leche deslactosada, el café bueno, pero un poco de excesivo en precio considero. Los postres regular.

Escuché muy buenos comentarios sobre este lugar mientras visitaba Tulum. Hoy pasé por un café. El barista claramente necesita mucho trabajo, la espuma no era tan suave como esperaba y el espresso era demasiado ligero. Uno pensaría que un lugar que tiene una máquina tan elegante y una tostadora tan cara haría un café adecuado. Sugiero cerrar por algunas semanas más para practicar, tal vez ver algunos tutoriales en línea. Otra nota: la atmósfera y la ubicación no eran nada especial. Su identidad visual es muy aburrida, nada nuevo y definitivamente no original. Una habitación con una tostadora grande y cara, no estoy seguro de si saben cómo usarla.

El lugar se me hizo muy pequeño, la experiencia debe completarse siempre con un grato servicio y un buen lugar... lástima que lo tienen abandonado. Lugar lleno de hojas, sucio por fuera yárboles enfermemos y eso que soy amante de la naturaleza. Lástima es buen café.
