Curator’s note
Ilustre distributes Kees van der Westen's espresso machines in Mexico as well as roasting its own coffee, and posts its Spirit at work. In September 2026 its barista Oliver Olivas took second at the thirteenth Mexican Brew Bar competition at Expo Café, and the Panama Gesha from Jamison Savage he brewed went up for pre-order at the cost of the green.
The Coffee
The pour-over list lets the drinker pick the bean, and the Mexican coffees also come as two house blends, Morning and Reserva, at every Ilustre bar.

The Vibe
A single suite on North Broadway, the main commercial street through town, open eight to three and closed Mondays. Ilustre's camera stays on the coffee and almost never turns to its own rooms, so this one is left for whoever walks in to see first.
