Caffeine fix

Best coffee spots in Medellín

Pergamino Café

The best specialty coffee in Medellín, roasted in-house with beans sourced from Antioquian farms. The cold brew is silky smooth and the single-origin pour-overs showcase incredible Colombian beans.

Velvet Café

A cozy cafe in El Poblado with excellent espresso and a relaxed vibe. The baristas are passionate about local beans and the brownies are fudgy perfection. Good WiFi for remote work.

Café Revolución

A political-history-themed cafe in Laureles with strong coffee and a young, intellectual crowd. The walls are covered in revolutionary art and the atmosphere is uniquely Colombian. Great arepa menu.

Urbania Café

A spacious cafe in Provenza with reliable coffee, good food, and a comfortable co-working atmosphere. The avocado toast uses perfectly ripe Hass avocados — Colombia grows the world's best.

Hija Mía Coffee Roasters

A micro-roastery with passionate owners who can tell you exactly which farm every bean came from. The tasting flights compare beans from different Colombian regions. Essential for coffee enthusiasts.

Café Ganso & Castor

A charming cafe in Laureles with beautiful design and excellent pastries. The lemon meringue tart and the cortado are both outstanding. Popular with the creative neighborhood crowd.

Juan Valdez (Original Location)

While it's a chain, the flagship location has a great bean selection and proper baristas. The Colombian iced coffee with panela (raw cane sugar) is a perfect local twist.

Al Alma Café

A garden cafe in El Poblado with plants everywhere and a peaceful atmosphere. The Colombian chocolate caliente (hot chocolate) with cheese is a traditional pairing that sounds strange but works beautifully.
