Barista Coffee Antigua - Antigua Guatemala
Discover barista-quality brews in Antigua's colonial heart
Nestled on 5a Avenida Norte, Barista Coffee Antigua is a haven for travelers seeking an authentic Guatemalan coffee experience. The beans are sourced from Antigua's volcanic slopes, where mineral-rich soil and high altitude create beans with a bright acidity and chocolatey undertones. The baristas here are true artisans, roasting small batches to perfection and brewing each cup with precision.
