What a gem of a coffee shop tucked away in a quiet corner of the neighborhood. This place was exactly what I was hoping for when imagining a true Colombian coffee experience, rich, flavorful coffee, tasty baked goods (don’t skip the almond croissant), and genuinely friendly service. My wife and I grabbed a spot on the patio, opened our laptops, and felt totally welcomed as long as we kept a little something flowing from the menu. To our surprise, we happened to catch a live music performance that really set the mood, one of those accidental perfect-day moments. Come for the coffee, stay for the good vibes and warm smiles. Highly recommend.

Don Alirio has quickly become my family’s favorite spot in the neighborhood. The staff is so kind and so patient with us as we learn more Spanish. The pastries are amazing and the smoothie bowl is delicious. High quality espresso drinks and a great frappe. Certainly a must visit if you’re in the area.

Absolutely the best cafeteria and breakfast place in Envigado. The coffee, croissants, sodas are THE BEST even compare with La Provenca in Medellin. We tried many places, but always come back to this very charming restaurant, which is sitting in traditional style neighborhood. Raquel was serving us today, and as usual she did our visit very special.

This is a beautiful cafe where I can easily go back to for the drinks and food. My wife and I had a great time there. The coffee was what we can expect in Colombia and we also tried the malteada chocolate which tasted so good! The bakery items felt fresh and on point. It rained heavily for a short time, and the entire group of stuff tried to make sure we feel comfortable in the patio. Astrid was excellent, always smiling, and she made sure we ordered right.
