Sometimes navigating a whole city can be tiring. Buenos Aires is certainly one of them, as visiting each and every barrio will reap unique and unmissable rewards. But, seeing as there is such a high number of truly excellent cafés dotted around, getting a caffeine and sugar boost and exploring another museum, admiring more stunning architecture, or strolling through another leafy plaza is always a possibility. Here are the 10 best cafés to try in Buenos Aires.

1. Ninina Bakery

Bakery, Restaurant, Argentina

Cool, clean and elegant, Ninina Bakery offers honest, home cooked food. At all times the counter is laden with a mouthwatering assortment of sumptuous cakes and pastries. These are, perhaps, the highlight, but a range of breakfast foods such as eggs, waffles, and fruit, for example, and light lunches like sandwiches, burgers, salads, can also be rustled up. The smoothies and lemonades are also unfailingly popular, and the coffee is always superb.

2. Coffee Town

With quality blends originating from all over the globe, specially selected by an expert team of baristas, Coffee Town is a must for those who see their espresso as something more than just a hit of caffeine. But that’s not to say that a less discerning coffee drinker shouldn’t check it out too. Ideally located in San Telmo’s permanent market, it makes for a great place to take a break from wandering the cobblestone streets and browsing antiques. This is especially true on a Sunday when the barriois at its most lively because of the fantastic craft market. It offers sweet and savoury snacks, a whole array of beverages, and the chance to drink in a buzzing atmosphere.

3. Sintaxis

Restaurant, Gluten-free

Situated in the trendy barrioof Palermo, Sintaxis really is unique in the fact that it can boast of being the first completely gluten free café/restaurant to open in Argentina. Though coeliac friendly, the menu is in no way, shape or form limited. In fact, there are plentiful breakfasts, lunches, snacks and desserts to tickle anyone’s taste buds and there is even a choice of meals especially for children. That’s the ethos of this place. A family run business, they take pride providing the best service for each and every customer, regardless of age or allergies.
