A Coffee Lover’s Paradise in Antigua
Walking through the cobblestone streets of Antigua, you’ll quickly realize that this colorful, colonial city is more than just Guatemala’s top spot for tourists. It’s also a vibrant, safe city known for its deep-rooted coffee culture. Since the 1850s, Guatemala has been one of the largest producers of coffee in Central America, competing with Honduras and other regions. The country’s coffee-growing industry has grown steadily, with Antigua and Amatitlan playing key roles in shaping its reputation as a coffee capital.
For any traveler who enjoys drinking good coffee, Antigua is a dream come true. You’ll find modern, hip cafés serving oat milk lattes, along with traditional spots offering delicious breakfasts paired with Guatemalan specialty coffees. Whether you’re a coffee fiend or just curious to taste the flavors of locally sourced beans, there’s a wide variety of cafés to explore on almost every street corner.
The Coffee Culture and Growth of Antigua
The journey of Guatemalan coffee wouldn’t be the same without Anacafe, an organization founded in the 1960s to support and regulate the coffee industry. Over time, Anacafe has invested in knowledge, technology, and laboratories to improve coffee-growing techniques. Today, they manage a Guatemala Coffees brand, promoting 8 specific coffee regions known for their unique flavors.
Beyond production, the coffee culture here is something to learn about and experience. Many cafés take pride in their history, and some even publish their own magazine dedicated to coffee trends. You’ll also find social initiatives, such as programs for children, reflecting the deep connection between coffee and the local community.

Antigua’s Best Coffee Shops
As a digital nomad who has spent the last 6 years traveling, I’ve had countless discussions with friends and other travelers about must-visit destinations. One place that kept coming up was Antigua Guatemala. After finally visiting, I decided to write this blog about the best coffee shops in town.
While staying here, I spent a lot of time talking to people and drinking coffee everywhere I went. I even created a personal itinerary, bookmarking spots on Google Maps based on recommendations. Unfortunately, I found that some of the well-known cafés had closed permanently, were not currently open, or had abysmal wifi speeds. So, I decided to create this up-to-date guide (December 2021) with my top recommendations.
A Perfect Work Spot for Digital Nomads
For digital nomads, Antigua is an excellent place to work from cafés. Whether you prefer a cozy atmosphere or a lively ambiance, you’ll find co-working spots and cafés that cater to remote workers. I personally appreciate the change in scenery, as I find myself most productive outside of my accommodation.
However, not all cafés are great for working. While some places offer a welcoming vibe, others have very slow internet. I tested several locations, and while some served great food, they didn’t make the cut due to poor connectivity. Among the top choices, there are still some essential coffee shops where you can pull up a chair, enjoy a cup of coffee, and get work done.
Top Picks (And Ones to Avoid)
Based on my experience, here are a few places I’d not include in my list due to connectivity issues: Selina Antigua, Fat Cat Coffee House (too tiny, slow internet), Y Tú Piña (mediocre food, slow internet), and Unión Café (great food, but slowest internet).
Despite these, there are plenty of amazing cafés in Antigua, making it one of the best coffee destinations in Guatemala. Whether you’re looking for a place to relax, work, or just enjoy a delicious cup, this historic city has something for every coffee lover.
1) 12 Onzas – A Perfect Coffee Spot in Antigua
If you’re searching for a coffee shop in Antigua that has the perfect vibe, strong Wi-Fi, and a beautiful location, 12 Onzas is the place to be. This hip café offers an incredible experience for those who want to try delicious local coffee or simply eat a healthy breakfast. It opens at 7AM, making it an ideal morning stop. Whether you’re here for the best breakfast plates or their smooth Americanos, you won’t regret your visit. The COST is reasonable, with a latte priced at Q25 and an Americano at Q20.
This café is best for remote working, thanks to its good Wi-Fi, plenty of tables inside and outside on the patio, and a nice back garden where you can work peacefully. Don’t miss their food and coffee combo—both for Q65—a great deal for quality flavors. Plus, they accept credit cards, so no need to worry about carrying cash. If you’re looking for a relaxing and productive spot, make sure to come here and enjoy everything 12 Onzas has to offer.
2) El Gran Café – A Hidden Gem for Coffee Lovers
If you are looking for a small, quick, grab-and-go shop in Antigua, El Gran Café is a must-visit. It is the only organic-certified coffee shop in town and has just one bench inside, making it not a place to hang long. What truly sets it apart is its commitment to quality. They don’t do pour-overs, but the coffee they serve is nothing short of exceptional. Whether you are just stopping in the morning before a full day exploring Antigua, or simply want to purchase locally grown coffee from their store, this spot is worth checking out.
One of the standout features of El Gran Café is its selection of several coffees that score above 90 points on the Cup of Excellence scale. The hyper-local approach taken by owner Josué Morales ensures that half of the eighteen varieties in stock come from the Antigua region itself. Each coffee has a story, and the best part is that you can enjoy a high-quality coffee for just 10Q. If you visit, say hi to Leo, the happy barista, who is always welcoming and ready to share his love for coffee.
For those who love espresso, this is the perfect place to get one. On one memorable stop, I had the No. 8 Cup of Excellence winner from 2022, sourced from Finca Mama Cata. This floral Gesha coffee originates from the Acatenango Valley, just a short distance away from Antigua. Needless to say, it was superb—one of the best I’ve had. Though I haven’t been to Italy, I can confidently say that I’ve never had a better espresso than the ones served here. If you love coffee, you must try one for yourself.
Aside from its rich coffee selection, El Gran Café is the best place to buy coffee to bring home for yourself or to give as a gift. While it’s not exactly cheap, it is well worth it if you truly want the best coffee experience. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a true enthusiast, this café delivers exceptional quality that you won’t forget.

3) Fernando’s Kaffee – A Local Favorite for Breakfast and Coffee
If you prefer a traditional mom-and-pop café over a trendy hipster spot, then Fernando’s Kaffee is the place to visit. A local mainstay in the community, this café is known for serving very good coffee along with an authentic Guatemalan breakfast. The breakfast includes eggs, plantains, tortillas, beans, and cheese, making it a hearty way to start the day. It opens at 7AM, so you can enjoy your meal early while sitting out on a nice patio. Whether you’re stopping by for food or just a cup of coffee, this café has a cozy and welcoming feel.
It is best for those who love a relaxed atmosphere with great food and drinks. If you visit, don’t miss their simple Americano, which is quite good. The cost is reasonable, with a latte priced at Q25 and a typical breakfast for Q30. Plus, they offer WI-FI, making it a good place to catch up on emails or enjoy a quiet morning. Credit cards are accepted, so there’s no need to carry cash.
4) El Viejo Café – A Taste of Paris in Antigua
If you love the charm of a Parisian-style café, then El Viejo Café is a must-visit in Antigua. This cozy bakery is known for its great street-watching opportunities and a wide selection of delicious baked goods, especially the almond croissant. They offer Wi-Fi and have plenty of tables, but I probably wouldn’t come to work here, as it gets quite busy on the weekend. It opens at 6:30AM, making it a perfect spot for an early breakfast or a relaxing coffee break.
It’s best for homemade croissants and loaves of bread, which pair perfectly with their drinks. If you visit, don’t miss their latte and breakfast options, as both are delicious. The cost is reasonable, with an Americano for Q15, croissants priced between Q12–15, and a breakfast plate for Q45, which comes with black coffee. The café also accepts credit cards, so you don’t have to worry about carrying cash.
5) Alegria Café – A Hip Coffee Spot in the Heart of Antigua
If you’re looking for a super hip coffee shop, Alegria Café is the perfect place to visit. Located steps from Antigua’s main plaza, this colorful café is known for its cool local artwork, books, and plenty of comfortable benches and tables. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, with locally roasted coffee beans that make every cup a treat. It opens at 7AM, making it an ideal spot to start the day with a great coffee and a good book.
This café is best for hip café vibes and unique food and drink offerings that you won’t find elsewhere. If you visit, don’t miss the sesame milk latte—it’s a definitely different flavor that’s worth trying. The cost is reasonable, with a latte priced at Q28. While they do offer WI-FI, be aware that no laptops are allowed on the weekend, which helps maintain the café’s social and laid-back vibe. Credit cards are accepted, making payments convenient.
Located near Parque Central, this specialty coffee shop is a favorite among those who appreciate high-quality brews. They serve Finca Gascón coffee exclusively, and according to many, it really doesn’t get much better than that. On my first couple of visits to Alegria Café, I asked barista Alejandra for recommendations on pour-overs, and she introduced me to two incredible options: Catuai lavado in an origami dripper, which had a tart, acidic, and citrusy profile, and the Caturra honey, which was more earthy, sweet, and chocolatey.
Beyond coffee, this friendly café is a great place to sit with a book or a friend, sip coffee, and nibble on a pastry. I personally love their carrot cake—it’s not too sweet, just right. Another standout drink is their dirty chai, which is outstanding. Made with a splash of Gesha coffee, milk of your choice, lots of cardamom, and topped with cinnamon, it’s absolute perfection.
6) The River Coffee House – A Peaceful Café Away from the Crowds
Located a bit farther from the hubbub of the main touristy area of Antigua, The River Coffee House offers a much quieter atmosphere compared to other cafes on this list. One perk of this café is its location, making it really easy to explore nearby churches that make Antigua famous, including the San Francisco Sanctuary and Iglesia Escuela de Cristo. This café opens at 8AM, making it an ideal stop for a relaxed morning coffee. Good to know, this place is quite religious, and when I visited, they were blasting strong spiritual music—so be prepared for that experience.
This café is best for cheap and delicious coffee, along with good WI-FI and plenty of tables to work at. It’s really quiet, especially in the morning, which makes it a great choice for those looking to focus. Don’t miss their tasty Americanos, a great deal at just Q15. The cost of a latte is Q25, and a dirty chai is Q28. They offer WI-FI, and for convenience, they accept credit cards, so there’s no need to carry cash.

7) Café La Parada – A Quick Coffee Stop Near Iglesia de la Merced
If you’re looking for a smaller, less-coffee-shop-and-more-coffee-stop in Antigua, Café La Parada is a great choice. Located near Iglesia de la Merced, the bright yellow church on the northern side of town, this spot is similar to Fernando Kaffee and is considered a local favorite. It is especially popular among the older generation, and you’ll highly likely find yourself rubbing shoulders with older gentlemen reading the local paper while sipping coffee. opens at 6:45AM, making it a great option for an early caffeine fix before heading out for the day.
It is best for a quick cup of coffee, especially to-go, for those on a busy schedule. I’d recommend checking out their tasty and cheap Americanos, which are priced between Q15 and Q20, depending on size. You can also grab a latte if you prefer something creamier. While they do offer WI-FI, there are not too many tables to work at, so it’s not the best spot for remote work. Credit cards are accepted, making it easy for travelers to stop by without carrying cash.
8) Café Sol – A Hidden Gem with a Beautiful Terrace
One of my favorite coffee shops in Antigua, Café Sol has a tiny terrace bedazzled with flowers that faces Volcán de Agua. If you go early on a clear day, you can see the volcano while enjoying your morning cup. This lovely place is perfect for those who love a strong Aeropress coffee while they watch cats run across the Spanish barrel tile roof. The café also serves delicious breakfasts that not only taste amazing but look great on the gram.
Their menu includes brioche sandwiches and loaded bagels, made with bread that comes from Chef Rodrigo Aguilar at Nana restaurant. Whether you’re here for food or coffee, this is a great spot to start your day. In my opinion, it is one of the best coffee shops in Antigua. The friendly baristas, Marlon, Roberto, and Christian, take good care of you and your brew, making sure every visit is worth it.
9) Artista de Café – A Modern Coffee Spot for Work and Relaxation
If you’re looking for a hip, trendy coffee shop in Antigua, Artista de Café is an excellent choice. This café has two locations, with the main shop in the center of Antigua, while the other is a bit further out and functions as a co-working space. It has a bougie vibe and is known for having the best presentation overall. The space is nice and bright inside, with beautiful photography and black-line art adorning the walls. The vibey music makes you want to hang out all day long, whether you’re here to relax or get some work done.
One of the reasons Artista de Café is a preferred coffee shop for getting work done is its comfortable venue with a variety of seating. It isn’t overly noisy, making it a popular spot for laptop work. The café is welcoming to those who want to sit for a while, and the wifi is the fastest in town, only second to the Ojalá/Maya Papaya team. With more than enough bandwidth for Zoom calls and uploading large files, this is the ideal place for digital nomads and remote workers.
On my most recent visit, I sampled a Gesha Malawi, which had a juicy, medium-body coffee profile with notes of berries and honey. The coffees at Artista de Café change frequently, as they source varieties from Antigua, the surrounding villages, and Huehuetenango. You’ll also notice a glass swirly tube science experiment behind the register—this is their cold brew processor. I definitely recommend trying the cold brew if you visit on a warmer day.
For those who prefer an open-air experience, there’s a nice patio in the back for outdoor sipping. If you’re looking for a more private setting, a quiet creative room is available downstairs, perfect for focusing on work or having a peaceful coffee moment. While the café has a limited but tasty food menu, it remains a top pick for those who love specialty coffee, great ambiance, and a productive work environment.
10) Del Otro Lado – A Cozy Spot with Unique Coffee and More
Located near the Cathedral on 4 Avenida Sur, Del Otro Lado is a coffee shop that stands out for its unique approach. The name represents the idea that the grass is greener on the other side—or as they say, Del otro lado mas verde. But is it really? That’s the question you’ll find yourself asking when you step into this charming café. On my first day, I went and stayed for three hours, just hanging out with owner Paul Hamm and barista Juan Hernandez. Their friendly service and the variety of coffee make this place special.
One of the highlights of this shop is their Chica Bean coffee, which is sourced solely from female farmers throughout Guatemala. If you enjoy coffee on the sweeter side, the Chica Bean honey in Chemex is a great choice. The shop sources its own beans from the Rainforest Cobán region, and they have an impressive selection of flavors.
Juan Hernandez, the barista at Del Otro Lado, holds up a bottle of his artisanal chai, which he makes himself. This artisanal chai contains only 3% sugar, much lower than most, and is delectable with or without milk. I personally loved it cold on its own—the clove flavor made it stand out. Qué Rico!
Beyond coffee, the café offers numerous local products like meats, cheeses, craft beers, and kombuchas, many of which come from the small community of Tecpán. The food they create with these products is also worth mentioning. I tried the shrimp tacos on blue corn tortillas with ham and cheese, and they were absolutely exceptional. It turns out that Paul is not just a coffee expert but also a great cook!
11) Arbol Coffee – A Unique Blend of Coffee and Japanese Flavors
If you’re a coffee geek looking for something different, Arbol Coffee is a great place to visit. This café sells trendy Japanese drinkware, making it a favorite for those who enjoy brewing at home. I bought a dripper and a bag of Pacamara coffee from Zacapa, Guatemala, and I really enjoyed the smooth, rich flavors. Aside from their flavorful coffee, they are also known for their best iced matcha in Antigua, which is a must-try for matcha lovers.
If you like Japanese food, you’ll love the options on their menu. You can find tonkatsu, takoyaki, karaage, and gyoza, all freshly prepared and full of flavor. The mix of coffee and Japanese cuisine makes this café stand out. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink or a meal, make sure to get some of their delicious offerings.
12) La Vid Coffee Roasters – Freshly Roasted Coffee with a Unique Brewing Method
For those who love fresh coffee, La Vid Coffee is a must-visit. This café roasts its own beans in-house, and if you’re passing by while owner Alex Contreras is roasting, you’ll catch the rich aromas from the street. During my visit, I had my first-ever Xara Coffee Drip pour-over from this cozy place.
Xara is a new Guatemalan artisanal method of coffee, brewed in beautiful handmade pottery crafted by women from the communities of Lake Atitlán. At the time of writing, they were featuring two coffees, one from Santa María de Jesús near Antigua, and another from Huehuetenango. Both were available for purchase at reasonable prices to take home, making it a great spot for those who want to experience unique Guatemalan flavors beyond the café.

13) Siena Luz Coffee – A Café with a Purpose
If you’re looking for a café where you can sip java, grab lunch, or eat a piece of tiramisu for a good cause, then Siena Luz is the perfect spot. This coffee shop not only serves great coffee and food but also donates proceeds to El Patojismo, a humanitarian organization that benefits a local school in nearby Jocotenango. The donations help offer a modern curriculum, school lunches, and even a doctor for 400 students.
At Siena Luz, you can enjoy your time while giving back to the community. There’s solid Wi-Fi, making it a great place to work or relax. Just walk to the back and find a seat at one of the colorfully tiled tables in the courtyard. Whether you’re here for a quick break or to learn more info on the project, this café is both a welcoming space and a meaningful place to support.
14) Raiz Café – A Chill Spot with Local Coffee
If you’re looking for a super chill shop, Raiz Café is a great place to relax. They don’t offer pour-overs, but I really loved their flat white—it was creamy and strong. This café is locally owned, and they take pride in sourcing half their coffee from the Antigua area and half from Huehuetenango. Their focus on local beans makes every cup a fresh and flavorful experience.
The view looking out at the corner makes this café a great spot to people-watch while you enjoy your drink. Whether you want a peaceful moment or just a break from exploring, roll through and see for yourself why this place is a favorite among coffee lovers.
15) Ojalá Hotel – A Cozy Café, Hostel, and Work Space in One
Ojalá Hotel opened in 2019, just a few months before the pandemic began. It nearly didn’t make it, but thanks to the work and perseverance of its owners, Chris and Emily, this place is now thriving. This unique hotel, hostel, and café combo is the second property managed by the same team behind the award-winning Maya Papaya.
The space is a Spanish colonial mansion conversion, designed to be tranquil and filled with greenery. What makes it stand out is that it offers the hands-down fastest internet in town—even faster than what I’ve encountered in my home country, the US. If you’re a digital nomad or a remote worker, this is the perfect spot to settle in and stay productive.
I stayed off and on for 2 weeks, and I can highly recommend this place. Chris tells me they are planning to add more seating and work spaces for nomadic workers in the coming months. With such a welcoming atmosphere and excellent connectivity, it’s no surprise that more travelers are choosing to work from here.
A bonus of staying at Ojalá Hotel is the breathtaking upstairs terrace, which offers views of Volcán de Agua, Volcán de Fuego, and Acatenango. Whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, the scenery is unbeatable.
The beautiful, tranquil gardens make the space even more inviting. You’ll also find power plugs in some areas, making it convenient for working. However, there’s no power on the terrace yet, though I spoke with the owner, and he mentioned that they plan to add some soon.
There is a tiny café and bar, so you can get a coffee while using their network. However, be aware that available seating is limited if you’re not a guest. To have full access, you’ll need to be staying at the hotel.
With its combination of fast internet, beautiful design, and a quiet atmosphere, Ojalá Hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s a fantastic workspace for travelers who need to balance work and exploration in Antigua.
16) Maya Papaya – A Cozy and Award-Winning Hostel with Work-Friendly Spaces
Maya Papaya is an award-winning hostel, recognized as the best in Central America for both 2019 and 2020, and it definitely shows. The space is welcoming, richly decorated, and filled with lush greenery, making it a beautiful place to stay. With plenty of spaces for lounging and working, this hostel is an excellent spot for travelers who need both comfort and productivity.
Managed by the same team as Ojalá, this hostel also provides a great home base in Antigua. I stayed in a private room for a week and truly enjoyed the space. For nomads, this is a great alternative if Ojalá is full. The internet isn’t quite as fast as at Ojalá, but it’s still more than double anything else in town. The only downside is that there is no public space for non-guests to use, so you’ll need to be a guest to take full advantage of the amenities.
The hostel feels like a home, with lots of seating options and power plugs in most locations. The owner told me that WiFi speeds should be similar to Ojalá, and they plan to get it fixed soon. If you’re looking for a stylish and functional place to stay while enjoying Antigua’s coffee culture, Maya Papaya is a top choice.
17) Impact Hub – The Only Co-Working Space in Antigua
If you need a quiet place to work in Antigua Guatemala, Impact Hub is the sole co-working facility currently open. Situated in a classic colonial-style courtyard, it offers a professional environment with 30+ desks and tables set up for remote workers. However, unlike coffee shops, there is an access fee required, which includes desk space, tea, coffee, water, and discounted access to events (though none were running as of late 2021).
I was expecting the internet to be the fastest in town, but I was disappointed to see it was not. That being said, if you need a guaranteed quiet place, this is probably the best you will find in Antigua Guatemala. The facility offers lots of seating options, proper office chairs, and plenty of plugs for charging devices. There are also several on-site food and drink options, making it a convenient spot for long work sessions.
To access Impact Hub, you’ll need to pay a day rate of Q50 ($6.50/day) or opt for a 6-day pass at Q300 ($38.75). If you’re looking for a structured workspace instead of a café, this co-working space is a great choice.
18) Cafe Boheme – A Rooftop Café with a Chill Vibe
One of the most well-known cafés in town, Cafe Boheme is a nice café with a great terrace that offers both outdoor and indoor seating. They have 20+ different tables, and their large, expansive rooftop makes it a perfect spot to relax. Don’t be discouraged by the underwhelming entryway—just ask to sit upstairs for the best experience. The pretty extensive drink and desserts menu makes it a great place to grab a coffee or a sweet treat.
I visited Cafe Boheme twice, and while the WiFi speed was all over the place depending on where I sat, it was pretty fast when it worked. I found that I had less internet issues when I sat in one of the two inside areas. The terrace-only seating still offers a variety of options, including group tables, indoor space, and couches. With a large menu and a chill vibe, you’ll find several others working on laptops, making it a comfortable and social place to spend time.
19) Cafe Estudio – A Charming Courtyard Café with Volcano Views
Before I arrived in Antigua, I envisioned all cafes would look like Cafe Estudio. This café exudes charm with its greenery-filled courtyard and terracotta tiled roof, making it a picturesque spot to enjoy a coffee. The atmosphere is cozy, but it has less seating than other entries above. Although it has been featured in several “top nomad cafes” lists online, I found that it was the slowest of those that made my cut when it comes to WiFi speed.
One of the best features of Cafe Estudio is the rooftop space and courtyard, where you can enjoy stunning volcano views on clearer days. From here, you should have a view of all three nearby volcanos, making it a peaceful and scenic spot to relax. The lush garden space adds to the beauty, and the extensive coffee menu offers a variety of options to suit different tastes. However, one thing to note is that there are no power plugs on the terrace, so if you need to charge your devices, it might not be the best place for long work sessions.

What are the Flavor Profiles of Coffee in Antigua?
Antigua-grown coffee is known for its sweeter flavor profile that isn’t bitter, making it a favorite among coffee lovers. If you enjoy deep and smooth flavors, you’ll find hints of chocolate, caramel, and earthy tones in coffee grown at lower altitudes. These notes create a rich and comforting cup that many prefer.
For those who enjoy brighter and more complex flavors, varieties from higher altitudes tend to have a more acidic, juicy, and rich floral taste. These beans often carry citrus aromas, giving the coffee a refreshing and lively profile. Whether you prefer bold or bright flavors, Antigua’s coffee offers a variety of taste experiences.
Why is Antigua Coffee Popular?
No matter what notes and flavors you prefer, Antigua coffee is well-balanced, bright, and delicious. The region is known for producing premium-quality Arabica beans, making it a top choice for coffee lovers. Almost all of the beans grown in the area are of exceptional quality, which is why Antigua coffee has become globally appreciated.
What is the Best Way to Sample Coffee in Antigua?
Many of the recommendations in this post highlight the third-wave coffee scene in Antigua. If you want to experience coffee at its finest, one way to drink coffee is through a third-wave method. If you have time to watch it being made, sit, and enjoy it, you should drink pour-overs.
Coffee aficionados generally prefer this method, especially with lighter, single-origin coffee, because it accentuates the taste and complexity. Pour-overs allow the barista to have more control over the temperature of the water, the speed at which it seeps into the grounds, the amount of time it’s brewed, the strength, and the overall quantity made.
When exploring menus in Antigua, you’ll often see the word Métodos, which refers to the various pour-over drippers available. Some popular methods include V60, Origami, Kalita, and Chemex. These brewing techniques bring out the best flavors in Guatemalan coffee.
Not gonna lie—Guatemala is where I officially became a coffee snob! Before arriving, I drank very little specialty coffee and wasn’t really into the third-wave coffee scene, but now I can say that I’m addicted. Pour-overs are so clean and tasty, you can just enjoy them black—no milk or sugar needed. If you want another recommendation, definitely try the espresso too!
