Barismo’s El Meridiano has a more subtle taste, but is best brought out with a Hario V60 pour over. This Colombian coffee is chocolatey with a fruity undertone, a truly unique flavor I have not tasted in any other type of coffee.

Tostaduría Bisetti – Lima, Peru
Nestled in the beautiful bohemian neighborhood of Barranco, Tostaduria Bisetti is a café for people who really know coffee. The café is quite large consisting of different types of seating such as couches, tables, and bar space and a coffee lab in the back for roasting and coffee education. Jazz music plays throughout the cafe…
Coffee of the Month
Counter Culture’s Finca Mauritania is a great compromise for those who love nutty and bold coffee and those who enjoy fruity taste notes. This roast, with beans from Ecuador, tastes great with any pour over method and is one of my personal favorites.
Cafe Martinez- Asunción, Paraguay
Cafe Martinez is the cafe in Asuncion most similar to a third wave coffee shop in the U.S. Cafe Martinez roasts coffee beans from all over the world and gives people the opportunity to choose where their coffee is from. I decided to go with Colombian coffee. This cup was the first cup of coffee…
J-J’s Market – Nashville, TN
JJ’s otherwise known as J&J’s Market, half convenience store and half cafe, is a Nashville gem. It’s simplicity provides the cafe goers a homey feel with various kinds of seating including couches, tables, and armchairs. People can even play board games while they sip their coffee. This market/cafe is an especially popular study spot for Vanderbilt…
Maria Castaña- Asunción, Paraguay
The Maria Castaña location I went to was one of the most pleasant, tiny cafés I have ever seen. There were tiny water fountains right outside and it was modeled after a french café. The space was pretty open and small, but the fancy decor made it very appealing. I asked for a cafe con…
Terzetto- Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil
Terzetto was a simple, dainty cafe and bakery contrasting the hectic, urban area of Ipanema just a few blocks from the beach. They had indoor and outdoor seating with bright furniture contrasting the white walls and floors. When I first walked into this space, I was unsure of it because there were very few people…
Revelator Coffee Company- Nashville, TN
Nashville’s newest kid on the block is Revelator, a coffee shop which started in New Orleans, Louisiana, but has opened various new locations over the past year. To celebrate its opening, Revelator was offering free coffee and baked goods to customers. Everything on the menu and in the shop was FREE. I could not believe…
Kariowka Café- Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil
After walking by this tiny café in the basement of a shopping center in Rio a few times I was a bit disappointed to learn that this was the cafe I was looking for. To find coffee shops in Rio I used a guide that had information about the best coffee shops in Brazil. To…
Urbe Café Bar- São Paulo, SP, Brazil
Urbe Café Bar is exactly the coffee place I was looking for in São Paulo. It has a really cool vibe and delicious coffee. When I first walked in I was overwhelmed by the number of people and the dim lights, but I really liked this spot. It had quotes about coffee written in chalk…
Original American Coffee Cake- São Paulo, SP, Brazil
Normally when in a foreign country I wouldn’t go to a place with “American” included in the name, but this restaurant was recommended to me by a friend. Really there was not anything very American about this place at all! The cakes were made with Brazilian fruits and the coffee was also Brazilian. The location…
Ofner- São Paulo, SP, Brazil
Ofner is one of those places that was sort of just an overrated fancy café/bakery. The service was great and the outdoor seating was very nice with large comfy chairs, but the coffee was nothing special. I ordered the typical café com leite. The taste was quite bold and the coffee had a creamy aftertaste,…
