Nosotros · About us

More than a shop — a neighbourhood hub.

In Mexico, a miscelánea isn't just a store. It's where you grab a coffee, a sweet, a few pantry staples, a quick bite — and sometimes just stop to chat.

Created as a relaxed offshoot of Comal y Canela, La Miscelánea blends café culture with the Mexican variety-store experience: from-scratch nixtamal tamales, artisanal empanadas, esquites and other antojitos, fresh juices and coffee, and a curated selection of Mexican pantry goods, sweets and specialty products.

We made it welcoming and unpretentious on purpose — a place to pop in, linger a little, and return to often.

Lo que hay · What we have

Antojitos, bebidas & dulces

Three reasons to stop in — and most people leave with a little of each.

Café & jugos

A cup of coffee is always on the house with your tamales and empanadas. Our fresh juices are refreshing and made on demand — plus ice-cold Jarritos, Mexican Coke and Squirt.

Rows of de la Rosa mazapán peanut candies

Pantry & dulces

Salsas, spices, candies, cookies and specialty items — a rotating selection of hard-to-find and nostalgic Mexican staples. Giftable, too.

Stacks of Zote soap beside open boxes of de la Rosa mazapán, Pulparindots, Duvalín and Bubulubu on the shop counter

Zote for the laundry, Duvalín for the kids, tamales for you.

Everything a miscelánea should be — on one counter.
