Traviesas Artesanos del Cafe

Quito


Discerning coffee drinkers and aspiring baristas should make their way to this friendly, upscale cafe housed in a cleverly designed industrial-chic space featuring exposed brick walls and furniture crafted from old pallets. Choose your method – pour over, filter, chemex, French press or aeropress – and chow down on a sandwich, salad or cheesecake while you wait.
