Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We liked the bright tone of this cafe, as well as the variety of dessert and drink options available. We chose a chocolate smoothie here and it went down well on a typically warm day in Playa Del Carmen.

Our favourite cafe here in Playa. The ladies are lovely, providing great service and the prices are great. Have tried cappuccino, latte and iced latte so far! Love their lattes. Also went for breakfast one morning....we had an omelette and the avacado toast with egg...and bacon. The bread is fresh and crunchy. All delicious! Nothing like sitting outside with a latte and people watching.More

Fantastic coffee here at this cafe run by super nice staff. We forgot a little backpack here by mistake and the ladies were kind enough to take care of it for us until we came back for it later that day.

El Gallinero is good value for the dollar. I had an omelette, homemade frijoles, toast, juice, coffee and a small salad for 100 pesos. The service was slow but very friendly and I would go again. It has a great central location one block from...Walmart.More

We visited here twice during our stay as it was around the corner from our hotel. Both times we had different omelettes and both times we were happy with them. Served with fresh toasted bread and a small pot of Mexican beans, and they ask...you if you want any hot sauces to go on the side (which we opted for - both the chipotle and the habanero sauces were very good which the latter being extremely potent). The smoothies and fruit juices are also very good. Staff are very friendly and we were very happy with the service. Would recommend it.More

In addition to a wide selection of baked goods, leaning toward cakes and sweets, they have a selection of excellent gelato. Went to Amorino because we're tourists, but were happier with a quiet dish of gelato here--it's a third of the price and it comes...without a million other people or the pretension.More

I grabbed a quick breakfast at El Gallinero Du Chocolat while waiting for my ADO bus. The staff was very friendly and the food was great. I enjoyed a nice crepe and a fresh natural fruit juice and grabbed some almond chocolate croissants to go...which turned out to be delicious. I will be back there during my next visit to the Playa.More

My wife and I sat down at this restaurant with my parents. It is near the condo we stay at 3 weeks a year. After we ordered coffee it took about 10 minutes to have our coffee brought to us, which was luke warm. We...then ordered a typical breakfast, which in hindsight is a mistake being at a crepe restaurant. Three of us received our breakfast in a timely manor but the fourth person got theirs almost entirely after we were finished with our breakfast. The place it self is small and quiet which is very nice for a morning breakfast, located on the corner of Ave 20 and Calle 10. We will be trying this place again next year to give it a fair view, and order the right food for this establishment.More

I am a huge fan of chez Celine and love a good croissant. So I was intrigued to see how this place compared and how the croissants were. Sadly neither wowed. Was ok though. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
