We are a Korean team made up of coffee tasters, roasters, baristas, bakers, and designers.

We started the first Café Loco in 2013 in Guatemala, and after 13 years of operation, we arrived in Mérida in 2025 in search of a new challenge and to showcase the wonderful Mexican coffee.

We visit coffee farms to meet the people behind the coffee, and we bring in the green coffee directly from the source to roast it ourselves. We never use coffee that's been roasted for more than a week, and we always offer fresh coffee. We also bake fresh bread every morning.

Coffee and bread you can trust.

Cafe Loco Coffee Roasters - Panajachel, Guatemala

Cafe Loco, the first. A piece of soul near Panajachel, Lake Atitlán.

We're closing after 13 years and 4,424 days of laughter, tears, and love. You were never a customer, but a part of our soul. Thank you for being our second home, a refuge for our hearts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
