The Shelter Coffee

Cool coffee shop with tasty sweets and lemonade. Also the coffee is ok, but my favourite is the atmosphere. Its location is perfect, the street is small and cozy.

Great coffee, friendly service and nice terrace......all you want in one place, and at great value for money......just don't think twice and try out this venue!

Fantastic coffee shop! Definitely one of the most expensive coffees in Buenos Aires but the quality was great with both the cappuccino and the pain au chocolate. The interior has a very nice, cozy aesthetic as well.

Really good! Lucia was a great server! Everything was so delicious and we had quick and fast service. Very attentive to us. Calm spot with good seating.

Nice street café in quiet neighborhood. Sitting outside and enjoying our breakfast was a good start to the BA visit. Excellent coffee and tasteful avocado toast. Very attentive staff.

Great coffee and great service. I was in BA 1week last week, this was the place for my dose of coffee and pastries! Lucia is a leading example of a great customer service! Thank you very much, I will definitely come back again next time I’m in BA

Incredible coffee, Great atmosphere and good staff

My favorite coffee in Recoletta! They have the best homemade almond milk in the area and their flat whites are to die for. The California sandwich is essentially the same as Kyoto sandwich, a bit underwhelming for the price, but the cinnamon roll was totally worth it. Overall, it’s crazy that a good coffee would cost you almost 7dollars (even San Francisco doesn’t have those prices) but it’s not them to blame.

The cutest little neighborhood coffee shop with friendly employees and delicious food! This spot was just down the street from my hotel and I popped in here almost every single day on my trip. I had some delicious tea and rotated between the avocado toast with yummy dried tomatoes on top or a croissant. Their juices are quite good as well. Not a ton of seating but a cute indoor seating area along with some outdoor seating for days when the weather is nice.

Gimme shelter! With such a humble name, it's much more than some shelter. This place is such a fantastic little coffee shop along Aroyo Street, next to the former Israeli Embassy. They have an indoor area, and a nice outdoor patio that is a great place to sit on the street corner and watch traffic go by. The coffee is a darker roast, served up any which way you like it. I got a flat white. Smoky and milky. The barista had a magnificent cappuccino machine that cranks out the coffees here. They have baked goods too, croissants, biscuits, and cookies. The croissant was warm, freshly made, flaky, crispy, layered- and served with dulce de leche. Amazing. What a combination. This is one of the nicest coffee shops I've been to in a while! Drink locally!

Great espresso and iced latte. Only a 5 minute walk from our hotel, so it was easy to find.

Awesome find in Buenos Aires. I arrived in the heat of the middle of the day. The coffeeshop if located along a tree lined street right off of a major highway. But just far enough away that sitting insider or outside is relaxing. I ordered a cortado and an almond croissant. Service is affable and not rushed at all. There were some people sitting alone and others in duos or groups. The noise level is lively but not all too loud. The looks of the cafe are dark with masculine wood and just a touch of an older bookstore or steam punk. My cortado was done well. I returned the next day with my wife. It was raining heavily so we stayed for a while after ordering a cappuccino and a cortado. All pastries are brought in. I was able to find out the supplier so I paid them a visit. This is a good coffee house for conversation or a reading a book. I would not recommend it for someone working on a computer as plugs are sparse and due to the size of the cafe, someone will likey want to share the table or space with you.

A wonderful cappuccino, which isn't the easiest thing to find in Argentina ! It was around the corner from my hotel and had outdoor seating on a quiet street. Best Cappuccino in Buenos Aires!

Top 3 coffee shops in Buenos Aires! I had a wonderfuly made flat white, it was just perfect! Round of applause for the barista! I stopped by on a saturday afternoon when none the office people that work in the surroundings are around so it was quiet, just a few more people where there. It's a small shop but it's so comfy and welcoming it makes you wanna spend hours sipping cups and cups of their delicious black potion. I didn't have the chance to put their food menu to the test but I'll definitely come back for that but mostly for their awesome coffee. BTW I love that they offer free fresh water with lemon, It's a nice detail. Even though it may sound like it's not much it's the type of customer care that it's so hard to find in this city.

Have you ever seen such a thing as a speakeasy coffee shop?!? The Shelter Coffee might as well be it!! Tucked away behind a dark, mysterious, minimalist facade in quiet, beautiful Retiro/Recoleta, I think this has become my second favorite coffee shop in #BuenosAires. Delicious coffee for prices that Porteño caffeine-heads now reminisce about ($44 ARS for my flat white), awesome jazzy/soul/chill electro music, with food & pastry snacks available for purchase. Only 2 visible outlets by the sofa chairs, so come with fully charged devices. Wifi esta fuerte

Luckily this place was just around the corner from my hotel. It is located on a quiet little side street and has a few tables outside which are perfect for enjoying a coffee. Inside it is very small so I can imagine it gets very full and busy. The decor is very cool with dark wood on the walls, dark wooden tables and chairs and a large Chesterfield sofa along the back wall. The space is very thoughtfully laid out and every little detail is included, even he music has a chilled vide. The staff were very helpful and friendly and matched the general vibe of the place - cool and laid back. The coffee I ordered was a large flat white and it was perfect. I also ordered a ham and cheese toastie which was served on lightly toasted thick white bread with generous layer of melted cheese - all perfect! The cost was $120 pesos. The place was very quiet when I visited at 13.00hrs on a Thursday in January which surprised me. Maybe the fact that the road outside was being dug up at the time has effected their business? But it is very discreet and easily possible to walk past it without knowing - which I did! Thoroughly recommended and I'll be back during my trip.

A small and cosy cafe. Serves good coffee and have some nice options to choose from if you are hungry to. Nice staff and if you want something to read while you are enjoying your coffee they have newspapers and magasines

We found this place while on vacation in Buenos Aires. Great ambience, great coffee, a few snacks (we had a very good grilled ham and gruyere cheese on ciabatta), and even a couple of craft beers on tap! I liked their IPA while my wife liked their Golden Ale (really more of a light Amber, rather than a traditional Belgian-style Golden Ale).

This is more of a new wave style coffee shop. One of the better cortados I've had in the city. I also ordered the almond croissant, and it was quite small and squished- it didn't really resemble a croissant at all. However, if you stick to the coffee you'll leave happy! Really nice atmosphere.

Coffee was slightly above average. I ordered a double espresso and they gave me a single. When I pointed this out, they refused they did anything wrong and told me that what I had (when I showed them my cup) was a double. My friend who was with me at the time ordered a single espresso. Ours was the same size and amount of coffee. Disappointed in the service. Also, the pastries are very bland and everything in general is overpriced. Won't come back. I would recommend going to coffee town if you are looking for a great coffee with great service and delicious pastries.

Am I in Paris? This coffee shop is a must. It feels as though I walked in off the streets of Paris. Great espresso and great ambiance. And awesome music. Could have stayed forever.
