Cafes and bars in Buenos Aires

Home to over a century of grand bares notables, ornate cafes built for lingering rather than the cup, now facing a determined specialty coffee movement arguing the coffee should matter just as much as the room.

• Vive Café Steep Pick
  Palermo Hollywood, Palermo · Steep Index 8.5/10

  A genuine Colombian coffee concept in Palermo Hollywood, small and alfresco-friendly, with excellent coffee, pistachio bread, and enough of a digital-nomad following that mornings fill up fast.

• Al Diablo Coffee Roasters
  Palermo Soho, Palermo · Steep Index 8.3/10

  Buenos Aires's first review on steep, and a fitting start: a live roaster in the room, an extensive breakfast and brunch menu, and a Palermo Soho crowd happy to sit and watch the street go by.
