Just B

Why we recommend Just B

One of the most photogenic spots in Cartagena and one of the hardest to find. Just B is tucked inside Casa Carolina (formerly Casa Pombo) on Calle del Arzobispado, and you'd walk past the entrance without knowing it was there unless you were looking. Once inside the hotel, you cross stepping stones over a pool to reach the tiny café space beyond. Worth every second of the search.

The owner makes everything from scratch: the syrups, the infusions, even the coffee liquor used in his espresso cocktails is handmade. The result is handcrafted drinks that feel genuinely considered rather than assembled. Everything on the menu uses local fruits, vegetables, herbs, roots, and superfoods, prepared fresh daily with no additives or preservatives. It's a small, quiet, romantic spot that rewards the people who find it.

What We Love

  • Arguably the most photogenic café in Cartagena
  • Everything made completely from scratch by the owner, down to the syrups and coffee liquor
  • Intimate, quiet, and romantic atmosphere
  • Wellness focused menu using local superfoods and fresh ingredients
  • The stepping stones over the pool entrance is an experience in itself

What to know

  • Hard to find, you have to know it's there
  • Very small space, limited seating
