A cozy themed cafe in the traditional Barrio del Encino, serving a wide range of hot and cold coffees, pastries and breakfast plates in a warm, decor-forward setting.
Piel de Gallina is a cozy, decor-forward themed cafe in Barrio del Encino, one of Aguascalientes' most traditional neighborhoods in Mexico. The cafe is built around a wide range of hot and cold coffee preparations, including coffee flights that let visitors sample several roasts or brewing methods in one sitting, paired with pastries and breakfast plates. The dining room leans warm and detail-oriented, with themed decor that changes the feel from one corner to the next, drawing both neighborhood regulars and visitors exploring the Barrio del Encino's colonial streets. There is no alcohol service; the draw is entirely the coffee program and the setting. Dress is casual and the pace is unhurried, well suited to a mid-morning stop while touring the barrio's churches and craft shops. Piel de Gallina does not take reservations. It is closed Mondays, and weekend mornings are the busiest time, when both the coffee flights and the limited breakfast-plate seating can have a short wait.
