I really, really wanted to like Coffee Town, but I just can't recommend it. I visited twice, and…read morethis is my review of both drinks: 1) Almond milk cappuccino: overly sweet and overly sour at the same time. Not sure where they are getting their almond milk, but the drink was terrible. 2) Pour-over (V-60 or 'Dripper'): Came out to 100 pesos, or ~$6.50. This was the average price for the options (i.e. not an overly fancy bean). For that sum, I got about 1/2 a cup of coffee. I have been to quite a few coffee roasters around the world, and this was by far the most overpriced cup I've had, including expensive countries like the U.K. and Japan. The coffee itself was pretty average: the pour over I had the day before in Montevideo (for the half the price) was way better. The staff is nice and the wifi free and fast. Besides that, I'm not going back, despite my hostel being only a block away.

All of the syrups they use in house are home made and all of their ingredients are really nice top quality. You can see that they truly take pride in all they do. They have everything from chemex prepped teas to lattes with specialities such as organic honey and cardamom latte and nitro brews all made in house. Coming from New York there are lots of coffee shops but none that quite hit the target like this place. Was truly impressed and hope they plan open one up by us soon :)

It's the oldest cafe in Buenos Aires and I liked the old school feel of it. We ordered a cafe con leche (latte), a tostada mixto (ham and cheese toastie sandwich), and a medialuna (smaller sweet croissant pastry). The portions were large so definitely shareable. The latte and the tostada mixto were good. Service was good as well, faster than I expected (I'm from NYC where everything is fast haha). The reviews said service was slow which I did not experience but it could be that I came early in the morning so it wasn't busy.

The place is beautiful, got beautiful decor and artwork all around. The waiters (once you get their attention) are very nice. Service is very very slow but that's typical of Argentine culture. It took them about 20 minutes to bring the bill.

The location...would rather it were on a quieter street, but you can't have everything. The selection of spices is astounding! Who'd've guessed? **For (US) Americans, by coffee i mean espresso drinks. An americano is pretty close to what we think of as coffee. If that just won't do, there's a Starbucks somewhere.

They had some creative coffee options: expresso with cardamom, espresso with whisky, and every conceivable type of expresso/milk concoction. Their food is also really good. I ate a few steak sandwiches there and I was always very impressed. You can tell this place is an institution good because virtually all swathes is Buenos Aires come here, from fancy ladies on their way to or coming back from concerts to Argentine hipsters taking advantage of the strong wifi with their laptops. The place is quite old, I think it was founded sometime in the 1920s, but I could be misremembering. Nevertheless, the decor and architecture is certainly of that time. Oh and they are also a spice store.

Someone gifted us with assortment of cookies from this bakery in Buenos Aires. All were delicious. My favorite was a cookie topped with raspberry jam, an almond and icing.

If ever I make it to Buenos Aires I will definitely look this bakery up and spend the entire day sampling all their little bits of heaven. So `Ono!
