Galeano Cafe

Top choice in Tegucigalpa


This very hip cafe rocks both an industrial and upcycling look, with brushed concrete fittings and salvaged wood furniture. It's an absolute lifeline though, as it does great coffee, enormous smoothies served up in glass jars, crepes and panini – try the delicious pero aguacatero – as well as breakfasts and pastries. Upstairs is a terrace and Tegus' hippest clothing store as well.
