CAFECITO, Buenos Aires

  1. No. 1

    CAFECITO

    Palermo Hollywood+1 locationMust-try

    Cafecito began in 2019 as a conversation between friends and now selects and roasts its own beans, sold with the farm, producer and process on each bag. At this corner of Palermo, a block from Pacífico, the bar pulls espresso and brews V60, Origami and Moccamaster with rotating lots. Among its current coffees is La Celeste, a honey-processed Castillo from Finca Más in Quindío, Colombia. The room has eight tables, a communal table for six, a small patio and two sidewalk tables, with wifi and plugs. Music is part of the place, so it can get loud. Breakfast, brunch and lunch plates sit next to the coffee.

  2. No. 2

    ÖSS Kaffe

    Belgrano+2 locationsMust-try

    ÖSS Kaffe began in a converted garage in 2017 and now has cafés across Buenos Aires plus branches in Montevideo, Barcelona and Madrid. The coffee comes from Puerto Blest, and the team puts weight on traceability; it also runs classes and tastings. Beyond espresso, the menu has its own drinks, such as the frappu, the cubanito and an affogato. This Belgrano branch on Franklin D. Roosevelt is the one the guides list first, and Time Out notes that here you drink your coffee outdoors.

  3. No. 3

    Clorindo Café/Brunch

    RecoletaGood

    Clorindo fills the inner patio of the Ricardo Güiraldes public library, a Tudor-style building from 1921, and its design is a tribute to the architect Clorindo Testa: concrete, wood and iron, curved furniture, blue, cream and orange tones, and tiered seats at the back. Time Out Buenos Aires names the coffee as the highlight, with espresso drinks and filter coffee on the menu. The other half of the menu is brunch, and the counter has raspberry pepas and a carrot cake cookie. It is a quiet place to sit, with outlets on the patio wall if you need to work.

  4. No. 4

    Primero

    Villa Crespo+1 locationGood

    Primero Café says it works with single-origin beans roasted in Buenos Aires, and the menu stays close to the coffee: espresso, flat white, a filter coffee whose options the staff will tell you about, an 18-hour cold brew and espresso tonic. To eat there are cinnamon rolls, medialunas, cookies and toasties on sourdough. The Villa Crespo café, on Thames, has a deck on the sidewalk. It placed 22nd in The Best Coffee Shops Argentina 2026. Order the filter and ask what is on that day.
