Café Jesús Martín

Top choice in Salento


Expert baristas at this cafe serve top-quality espresso, drips and filtered brews from beans roasted and prepared in the owner's factory. It's got a distinctly upper-crust feel to it; don't expect to see too many local farmers drinking here. It also serves wine, beer and light meals. Ask about the high-end coffee-tasting tours.
