Coffee -472 more than a coffee shop, a coffee experience - Great variety of flavors, shades and the freshest coffee I have had in a long time. In terms of attention, the workers are very attentive and charismatic, something very characteristic of Colombians. I can't wait to come back and try the new things they have to offer!
