Época Café Bar

The coffee here is great! You can taste the good quality coffee on their coldbrew. The taste is quite acidic as Colombian coffee comes from the arabica variety. The french toast and açai bowls were not only pretty but delicious. Great food and vibes here!

Warm, friendly staff who goes out of their way to serve you. Beautiful interior design and the coffee, cronut and salad were delicious. We went back a second time and tried their pistachio croissant (off the hook), chicken salad and burger (omg). Their cappuccino is also made to perfection.

Delicious food! Alonso, our server was excellent! I have a gluten allergy, and ordered the “why not pancakes”. They are gluten free and very good. My omelet was the best I’ve had in Colombia! And the coffee was AMAZING!!! My husband order the “Epoca Breakfast” (he can consume gluten) and said that it was delicious as well. Oh, and did I mention the coffee?!?! Seriously, if you’re a coffee-lover or a foodie, you should definitely eat here.

Went here for lunch and again another day for breakfast on a recent visit to Cartagena. All the food we ordered was fresh, flavorful and well presented. Service was always friendly and efficient. The cafe itself is multi level with a spiral stairway leading to the cozier upper level. There was a patio on this level that was closed. Overall a good pick when you are craving more non-local cuisine during a Cartagena trip.

Época Café Bar is a must-visit in Cartagena as it is easily one of the best café experiences in the city. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, combining historic charm with a refined, cozy feel. The interior features high wooden ceilings, stone walls, elegant lighting, and a perfectly curated blend of vintage and modern details that make it feel both timeless and inviting. We had the cappuccino, matcha latte, almond and chocolate croissant, and a fresh fruit bowl (everything was excellent). The coffee was rich and smooth, the matcha was balanced and creamy, and the pastries were fresh, flaky, and delicious. The fruit was vibrant and flavorful, clearly high quality. Service was warm and attentive from start to finish, and the staff made the whole experience feel effortless. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely breakfast, a place to work, or just a beautiful spot to enjoy your coffee, Época is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of this restaurant. The place provided a relaxing, appealing setting for getting away from the tourists, heat, and energy on the street outside. The food was tasty, appeared to be made with care. The service was attentive and appreciated. I would return here again, certainly for a relaxing hour at a table with a drink and maybe a book or notebook to flip through. My family enjoyed this experience. Thanks!

Great place for brunch, lunch and snacks! We ordered 2x salad bowls which were well portioned and delicious. GF, keto, veg and vegan options available. I think they also turn into a vinyl bar in the evening! Muchos gracias Alonso Herrera for being a wonderful host and waiter. We will definitely be back

⸻ Época Café Bar ended up being one of my favorite stops in Cartagena. From the outside it looks nice enough, but once you step inside, the space really impresses with a mix of old and new details that make it feel both stylish and comfortable without trying too hard. I kept it simple and ordered a black coffee and the avocado toast and it was exactly what I needed. The avocado toast was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. Everything tasted clean and thoughtfully made.
