Café Los Gallos

Villa de Leyva


Los Gallos serves the finest joe in town, a smooth, sophisticated brew that you can spike with something sweet from the cake display, like the apple-and-arequipe (sweet milk-based caramel) pie, a gem of a dessert that deserves a culinary Oscar.

The cafe also rustles up light breakfasts.
