MAGNO's Centro Historico Recommendations

Ely

Why we recommend Ely

Ely Café has long been a Bocagrande favorite for those who love good coffee, fresh bites, and that effortlessly cool vibe. Now, they’ve brought the same energy to the Centro Histórico—only sleeker, more modern, and a touch more upscale. Think everything you love about Ely—brunch classics, craft drinks, warm service—just with a new downtown address and a design that feels right at home among Cartagena’s historic streets.
