Fernando's Kaffee

Antigua


Long a draw for coffee and chocolate mavens, this friendly corner cafe also bakes an array of fine pastries, including some delightfully gooey cinnamon rolls. Beyond the counter is an inviting patio courtyard ideal for a low-key lazy breakfast. We're not sure if the house cat ever moves from the counter, but it's good at collecting tips and cuddles.
