The 10 Best Cafés In Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires has long been a city of artists, dreamers and thinkers, who all have a love of coffee in common. From longstanding cafés dating back to the mid-20th century to hip new artisanal spots, café culture is a major facet of life in this metropolis. Here are ten of the best cafés in Buenos Aires.
1. Café La Biela
Bar, Argentina
No list of cafés would be complete without La Biela. This iconic Recoleta hangout of 1950s Formula One champions such as Juan Manuel Fangio has been declared a Place of Cultural Interest by the city of Buenos Aires. Take a peek behind the bar to see photographs shot by legendary Argentine writer Adolfo Bioy Casares, who was another frequent customer, along with friend and fellow influential writer Jorge Luis Borges.
2. Coffee Town
Coffee Shop, Argentina, Tea , Coffee, Vegetarian
Head barista Agus Román was the 2013 winner of Argentina’s barista championship, and his skills are apparent at this popup coffeeshop in the midst of San Telmo market. Grab a chemex brew as you do your grocery shopping, and relish in being at the heart of Argentina’s coffee revolution.
3. Birkin
Restaurant, Argentina, Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Coffee, Tea , Beer, Fast Food
Owner Lucila Zeballos was directly inspired by Portland, Oregon’s Stumptown Coffee Roasters, and true to form, Birkin feels like stepping into a hip Pacific Northwest coffeehouse with funky bar lighting, a vintage sensibility, terrific latte art, and a cool young waitstaff. The coffee itself is equally good, try the cappuccino with an extra espresso shot.
