Dichroic Film Lab
CDMX
Dichroic Film Lab is a specialized analog photography studio and creative cafe in Mexico City, sharing its vintage space with Libre Café. It is best known for housing an authentic, rare 1920s chemical analog photobooth—reportedly the only active one in Mexico and Latin America. Visitors can enjoy coffee and pastries while waiting approximately four minutes for their black-and-white photo strips to develop.
Commenters express high enthusiasm and strong interest in visiting, frequently tagging friends to plan trips to see the unique photobooth. While widely praised for its aesthetic vibe and novelty, some viewers noted that the food was disappointing and questioned whether the seating and amenities were practical for remote work.
