Good Quality Coffee In Buenos Aires

[DCexpatstudent]

So I just went to Tastadores de Cafe and actually got a good cup of coffee. The first I actually had that was of a good quality in this city. Their locale is new though they have been selling coffee to many different shops in the area for a few years now. So if anyone likes to buy or wants a cup of good coffee you should check it out. Just thought I would announce since I'm sure that there are others who are picky about their coffee like me!

There's a place on Lavalle entre Esmerelda y Maipu called Caravelle which (if its still there) does really good coffee its not really a proper cafeteria y just sells coffee, aperitifs and facturas and you sit up at the bar while the guys in bow ties serve you, its quite cool, a bit old school and for me had really good coffee

I like Tienda de Café. They have stores all over town.

I actually had a great coffee at one of Bonafide stores along the route that takes you down to Mar del Plata, so I have started to buy their ground coffee to use at home. The only decent type is the SUPERIOR one, which currently sells for 88 ARS for 250 g (the type Seleccion costs the same, and it is awful)

Cabrales' type Colombia, is much cheaper (half the price!) and it is okay.

If you drink a lot of coffee, you start to look at the price, as well.

Best cup of coffee in the microcentro is Barrio Caffetero, by a distance. Guy came back from overseas with (NZ possibly) and set up a shop in galleria thompson and now has another one on reconquista (i think), look him up. No relation, but honesty the coffee is in a different league to anything I've tried in Argentina....and I've been looking for something decent.

ps...another good coffee tip if you are in the microcentro selling your dollars.

Grab a coffee in Ligiers, the wine shop by the citibank branch (florida y peron), they make the coffee with Illy beans. I've seen them open the sealed bags from the tins. 25 pesos for a good latte (not comically over sized and milky like horrorbucks) with a slice of pan dulce. Not bad. Nice enough not to require lashings of sugar or sweetener.

Tostadores is mentioned in this article on Pick Up the Fork: http://pickupthefork...n-buenos-aires/

One quote from the article about Tostadores:

the chocolate chip cookie is hands down THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOTHAFUCKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE I’ve ever eaten in Argentina.

Guess I gotta go.

I make my daily coffee with Cabrales Columbia - it's totally fine for me and I'm semi-picky.

Do you mean cold and delicious coffee ala japonaise? As this one below. It so good and soothing when the temp hovers around upper 35 C !
