Café Baviera
A long-established café beside the Parque Central, a classic in Xela for German and Guatemalan-style baked goods and breakfasts.
A longtime café in Xela on the west side of the Parque Central, at 5a Calle. Inside it is filled with sofas and antiques, and there is outdoor seating downstairs. It is known for its German and Guatemalan-style baking; the apple strudel is especially popular, served with local strong coffee. Breakfasts are generous, and it is a regular haunt for tourists and language-school students. Around 8:30 on Saturday mornings it is often full, so arrive early. A hearty breakfast costs about GTQ 40–80 per person, and it is an easy walk from the Parque Central.
