Café Condesa

Antigua


Baked goods – pies, cakes, quiches and house-baked whole-wheat sandwich bread – are the strong suit at this grand old cafe set around the patio of a 16th-century mansion off the main square. You can also enjoy big healthy salads or just a cold beer in the courtyard. The lavish Sunday buffet (Q85), from 9am to 1pm, is an Antigua institution.
