    Tres

    ColegialesMust-try

    Tres roasts its coffee a few steps from the bar, behind a glass panel, so you can watch the roaster while you order. It is run by Agustina Román, the 2013 Argentine barista champion, and in 2026 the first edition of The Best Coffee Shops Argentina put it at number one. The room is small and minimalist, a short walk from the Colegiales train station. Espresso and filter both come from the house roasts; recent coverage describes a Colombian coffee with bright citrus notes. Try the espresso tiramisu, and take beans home.

    Palermo Hollywood+1 locationMust-try

    Vive Café specialises in Colombian coffee and says it buys directly from growers. The bags read like a map of the country: a washed lot from the Paeces indigenous cooperative in Inzá, Cauca, a honey-processed yellow Caturra from Planadas, Tolima, and a natural Bourbon Sidra from Finca Las Flores, sold as a competition lot. Each one lists producer or region, altitude, variety and process, and you can take beans home ground for V60, Chemex or AeroPress. The Best Coffee Shops Argentina 2026 ranked Vive fourth in the country.

    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.

    SOSA Café

    ColegialesGood

    Sosa is a neighbourhood café on Moldes in Colegiales that sells, in its own words, coffee and other things. It opens every day from morning to evening and you do not need to book. The Best Coffee Shops Argentina 2026, a national ranking decided by a jury and a public vote, placed Sosa 42nd in the country, which puts it among several ranked cafés in Colegiales and nearby Belgrano. Stop in for a coffee on a walk through the neighbourhood.
