1. BACU

Our Pick For: Working Remotely

Pack up your computer and hit the town: BACU is one of the best places to work while enjoying elevated home-style food and local roaster’s coffee. This chain of airy cafés has ample seating where you can set up camp for the day. Send emails while snacking on toasts piled high with avocado and egg or health-focused sandwiches, salads, and bowls. Or simply come by to have a well balanced and playful lunch. Pair your meal with an iced or hot coffee, or a smoothie if caffeine’s not your thing.

To discover why BACU is more than just a restaurant chain—and how it’s changing the remote work scene in Bogotá, and not to mention the gastronomy business model—read our full review here.

2. El Rocío

Our Pick For: Farm-to-Table Grinds

El Rocío is known for its specialty coffee, direct from Colombia’s Serrania del Perijá region. Offering three select coffee blends, ranging from vibrant and sweet, to caramel, red fruits, and creamy notes. Try a Chemex or Origami drip method that highlights the beans’ unique flavors, or enjoy your roast in an espresso-infused beverage. If you can’t get enough, take home a bag of coffee to prepare at home. And if you’re feeling snacky, accompany your coffee with a delicious alfajor.

4. Tropicalia

Our Pick For: Overall Quality

Tropicalia Café embodies Colombia’s coffee identity through craftsmanship and purpose. More than a café, it’s the physical extension of a thoughtful coffee project that honors regional origins, producers, and storytelling. Inside its serene spaces in Quinta Camacho and Zona Rosa, the scent of freshly ground beans mingles with natural light and calm detail. Each cup — from espresso to pour-over — is a narrative of place and care, while its design and service invite quiet appreciation.

5. Bagatelle

Our Pick For: Business Meetings

Bagatelle is where Bogotá closes deals over croissants. These French-inspired cafés blend a polished corner-bistro ambiance with genuinely excellent pastries and an all-day brunch that never misses. Expect flaky classics, silky eggs, and generous plates that work as well for clients as for a solo treat. When the meeting goes well, toast it with one of Bagatelle’s signature mimosas—bright, balanced, and surprisingly creative. A reliable go-to for anyone who values comfort, elegance, and a touch of Paris in the capital.

6. Onza

Our Pick For: The Bagels & Baked Goods

If Bogotá has a bagel benchmark, it’s Onza. The shop serves chewy, New-York-style rings stacked with classics—from smoked salmon and cream cheese to bacon, egg, and cheese—but with a Bogotá sensibility that keeps things fresh. Their pastries deserve equal praise: perfectly soft cream puffs, matcha and white-chocolate cookies, and rotating specialties that sell out fast. Grab a hot tea or a velvety cappuccino, pick your favorite baked good, and settle into one of the city’s most reliable morning rituals.

7. Magnifique

Our Pick For: Breakfast & Pastries

Magnifique builds its entire identity around bread—and it shows. From Benedict croissants layered with soft eggs to waffles drenched in Nutella, everything arrives warm, intentional, and beautifully executed. Their moaccaccino is a house legend, topped with foam that borders on barista art. It’s the place to order a bit of everything and linger in the calm, sunlight-washed ambiance. When only a decadent, bakery-driven breakfast will do, Magnifique delivers with confidence.

8. Les Amis Bizcocheria

Our Pick For: The French Toast

Make a pilgrimage to one of the most beloved bakeries in Bogotá, Les Amis Bizcocheria, and, whatever you do, get the French toast: brioche topped with fruit, honey, and—depending on the monthly menu—mascarpone. There’s plenty more to love at this charming stop off, like fresh-baked croissants and cakes. Coffee lovers should try the Moon Latte, infused with lavender and honey, or the Café Contadin, with a traditional blend of spices and panela, local cane sugar.

9. Café 18

Our Pick For: The Coffee

Café 18 is a specialty coffee shop serving up some of Colombia’s finest grounds. Their award-winning selection includes local gieshas, bourbons, and blends, each of which comes with a story: You can read up about what you’re drinking on the company’s website, which has information on each producer. And while coffee may be the main attraction, the food is great, too. Accompany your brew with a sweet or savory bowl.

Hanging out at Diosa Café kind of feels like having a coffee in the chicest minimalist kitchen you’ve ever seen.
