Fruto Bendito

Centro Histórico

Calle de la Merced (inside Claustro de la Merced), Centro Histórico Last tested: 2026-06

WiFi 5/20 Mbps AC Outlets: limited Noise: quiet Video calls: marginal ⚠ Bring a hotspot backup

Network: Espacio Cultural

Inside the Claustro de la Merced, bordering the Remedios bookshop. Unusually asymmetric WiFi — 5 down / 20 up when tested, possibly a mobile connection. Fine for email and light browsing, unreliable for video calls or downloads. The coffee and chai are genuinely excellent. Exotic fruit sorbets worth trying.

📍 Best spot: Three tables at the entrance right side, closest to the two outlets

Hours: Mon–Fri 7:30am–7pm · Sat 7:30am–8pm · Sun & holidays 9am–5pm
