Kuma Coffee
Japanese aesthetics, cold foam and matcha at two locations
About Kuma Coffee
Kuma means «bear» in Japanese, and the bear is everywhere: in the name, in the look and in the little teddy bear they sometimes give away with your drink. Their motto sums it up — «侘び meets caffeine or matcha», the Japanese idea of «wabi» brought to coffee — and their specialty is cold foam: cold foams of Lotus, vanilla, matcha or red berries on top of lattes, americanos and matchas.
The first location, in Alamitos, is small and very photogenic: royal blue and silvery white, blue tile, an organic-shaped mirror, a «But first, coffee» sign and an LED screen that welcomes you. It has a couple of tables outside. And there is a second location in Hacienda Bilbao, on Calzada Macristy de Hermosillo, which its reviews — all from July and August 2026 — call «the new place»: roomier and now serving food too.
What to order at Kuma
The drinks reviewers mention most are the Biscoff Lotus Latte and Biscoff Lotus Matcha ($148 MXN), with Lotus cold foam, crumble and a whole biscuit on top, and the Cinnamon Toast Matcha ($155), made with cereal-flavored milk. Japanese matcha is the base of half the menu — from the $119 Matcha Latte — and each season brings drinks with Mexican flavors like Carlota, cajeta Coronado or marzipan. There is also a secret menu, tiramisu and brownies.
Good to know
Drinks are made with lactose-free milk by default. The prices on this page come from their DiDi Food menu, checked on September 21, 2026, and may have changed. Some customers ask for visible prices on the specialty drinks on the wall, so ask before ordering.

Order something with Lotus
The Biscoff Lotus Latte or Biscoff Lotus Matcha are the most recommended. The Cinnamon Toast Matcha, made with cereal-flavored milk, is the other favorite.

Their drinks are made with lactose-free milk. If you want a different one, ask when ordering.
Ask about the secret menu
Reviewers mention a secret menu, and the seasonal menu keeps rotating.
Check the hours
Google and their Instagram do not list the same hours, and the Bilbao location has its own. Check @kuma.mxl before you go.
