☕ Atte. Coffee: A Love Letter to Guatemalan Coffee in Zona 4
If you want to taste what real high-quality Guatemalan coffee tastes like, Atte. Coffee is an absolute must-visit. Located in the heart of the trendy and colorful Zona 4 (Vía 5), this cozy, minimalist specialty coffee shop is a tribute to local farmers.
Why I love it & what we will do:
Single-Origin Beans: They rotate their coffee beans constantly, sourcing directly from small farms in regions like Huehuetenango and Acatenango.
Artisanal Methods: We can order a pour-over (V60 or Chemex) and let the barista explain the unique tasting notes of your cup.
The Vibe: It's the perfect spot to start our day, sit down, chat, and watch the creative neighborhood of Zona 4 come to life while enjoying a delicious cardamom roll or fresh pastry.

Ciudad Cayala
Guatemala City, Guatemala
Andres lizano
Most of people try to avoid Guatemala City and I understand , there are a lot of places to visit out of the capital, but, the truth is that there some options in the city as well besides the zoo, museums or even natural reserves there is also this high end spot of Guatemala with Designer’s stores and expensive restaurants, as well it has a very nice architecture and you can walk for free around Cayala city, if you are on a budget then all you have to do that a to walk to entrance and visit the super market or there is as well a Mac after the round about .
