Café Punta del Cielo

Coffee people in Acapulco often skip ACA’s Café Punta del Cielo entirely

Most caffeine runs happen at resort cafés or Isla Acapulco Shopping Village before anyone heads to General Juan N. Álvarez International, which leaves Café Punta del Cielo as more of a backup option inside the airport than a destination. It’s one of Mexico’s better-known coffee chains, so expect a standardized menu of espresso drinks, drip coffee, and sweet pastries rather than anything unique to Acapulco or Guerrero.

The airport only has Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and Punta del Cielo sits airside, used mainly by passengers who ran out of time to stop in town. Pricing tracks with typical chain coffee in Mexico: think roughly 45–70 MXN for basic hot coffee and 70–110 MXN for lattes or frappé-style drinks, with muffins and pan dulce in the 35–60 MXN range. Figure on handing over a 200‑peso note for a coffee and pastry and getting change back.

This branch opens in line with the first departures out of ACA, so early flights around 06:00 usually find it operating, and it tends to wind down once the last evening departures leave, often before 22:00. If you’re on an early morning Aeroméxico or Viva Aerobus departure, you can normally grab a caffeine fix after clearing security rather than nursing the hotel room coffee pod.

Order the plain Americano or espresso if you care about caffeine more than flavors; chain syrups can run extra sweet in Mexico, especially in caramel or mocha drinks. Food is mostly reheated pastries and packaged snacks, so treat it as fuel, not a sit‑down meal. If you want a real breakfast, eat at your hotel on the Costera Miguel Alemán or near Playa Revolcadero before heading to the airport.

Tip: if you’re picky about beans, grab your serious coffee at a local café in Acapulco and use Café Punta del Cielo at ACA only as a last top‑up while you wait to board.
