Summary //
We immediately felt at home at Pergamino, and we keep making our way back to it. With a whole menu section devoted to cold brew varieties and fabulous iced lattes served on an open air patio, there’s little not to love.
The cafe is full of people like us, travelers on their laptops, which is maybe why we loved it so much. It’s also one of the few places that draws a crowd in the morning time (this city is SO slow to wake up on weekends!). This is probably because so many patrons are tourists who are much more into coffee than the Colombian locals.
While most of the best coffee is exported from Colombia, Pergamino offers locally sourced, top quality coffee. The coffee farm has been in the family for three generations, but they also integrate services which help improve the lives of the workers in this difficult and low-paying industry.
