Café Época

One of the best specialty coffee roasters in Cartagena, housed in a beautiful colonial building in the Historic Center. Época sources beans from eight local Colombian coffee farms, roasts in-house, and takes the craft seriously enough that the owners are in the café most days. If you want to explore beyond standard Colombian coffee profiles, this is the place to do it: they run limited edition roasts and more inventive specialty offerings alongside their core menu. Great for brunch too, with a full food menu and bottomless brunch on weekends. Two floors, with the second accessible via a narrow spiral staircase. Locations also in Barranquilla and Medellín.
