En Tenebra Café tienen el mejor moka que he probado y el servicio es excelente. La música es tranquila y el volumen es el suficiente para disfrutarla y al mismo tiempo tener una plática amena sin tratar de descifrar qué dicen mis amistades al hablar. Definitivamente regresaré para probar más de sus bebidas

Si estas cansado de que en la uabc, siempre el comedor está hasta al tope por los de tronco común que no entran a clase. O si quieres ir una banca al aire libre se te vuelan las hojas o lo que sea. Te recomiendo este lugar es lindo, precios razonables tampoco super baratos pero están ok. Y lo mejor es muy silencioso los que atienden son buena onda y siempre van muy a su rollo aquí todo es así. Lugar ideal para trabajar, platicar, estudiar. Es como un oasis para los introvertidos y gente que necesita pensar. Por todo esto me encanta es mi cafeteria favorita.
