Losers Cafe: where Mexico City turns World Cup heartbreak into free coffee
A pop-up in Condesa flips defeat into solidarity—free drinks, flags, and napkins that say ‘dry your tears’ for fans of eliminated teams.

The Oatly-backed pop-up in Condesa offers free drinks to supporters wearing jerseys of teams that have already crashed out of the 2026 tournament. Originally a Venezuelan immigrant’s street stall, Compay Cafe now hosts fans of South Africa, Canada, and others, flipping defeat into solidarity with flags, napkins, and a cheeky ‘dry your tears’ branding.
