Casa Café Cultor is a warm, inviting cafe nestled in a residential street of Chapinero Alto, one of Bogotá's most bohemian neighborhoods. The space is a converted house with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and an abundance of greenery, both hanging plants and potted ferns, that gives it a lush, garden-like feel. The cafe focuses on showcasing the diversity of Colombian coffee, with beans sourced directly from small farms across the country. The menu includes classic espresso drinks, pour-overs, and innovative preparations like cascara lemonade. The baristas are eager to share stories about the producers and the terroir of each coffee. A small menu of light bites, such as arepas and empanadas, pairs well with the drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed and artsy, with local artwork on the walls and a playlist of indie music. It's a popular spot for freelancers and students, thanks to the reliable Wi-Fi and ample power outlets.
