Caffeine fix

Best coffee spots in Buenos Aires

LAB Tostadores de Café

Buenos Aires' best specialty roaster in Palermo with beans sourced from across Latin America. The pour-over of Colombian gesha is extraordinary. The minimalist space has a laboratory feel.

Cuervo Café

A Palermo institution with excellent coffee and the best medialuna (Argentine croissant) in the neighbourhood. The outdoor patio is perfect for a late morning café con leche.

Full City Coffee House

A third-wave pioneer in Palermo with a warm, woody interior. The espresso is strong and balanced, the brownies are fudgy, and the baristas happily nerd out about beans with you.

Café de los Angelitos

A grand 1890s café on Avenida Rivadavia with tango history seeping from the walls. The café con leche comes with miniature facturas (pastries). It's touristy but the atmosphere is genuinely grand.

Coffee Town

Multiple locations with consistently great coffee and a modern Argentine vibe. The Villa Crespo branch has the best food menu — the tostado (toasted sandwich) with jamón and queso is perfect.

Ninina Bakery

A gorgeous Palermo bakery-cafe with floor-to-ceiling pastry displays. The croissants are buttery and flaky, the cinnamon rolls are massive, and the coffee is better than most dedicated cafes.

Lattente

Tucked into a villa in Palermo Soho, this specialty cafe has a garden patio that feels like a secret escape. The cold brew is excellent and the carrot cake is moist and perfectly spiced.

Le Pain Quotidien Argentina

The Recoleta branch in a gorgeous old house with garden seating is special. While it's a chain, the Argentine adaptation — quality medialunas, dulce de leche pastries — makes it distinctly local.
