El Gato Negro is a legendary spice shop and café on Corrientes Avenue that has been operating since 1927, filling the air with the scent of teas, herbs, and spices. Upstairs, the café serves an extraordinary selection of teas and coffees in a beautiful old-world setting. It's one of the most atmospheric spots in the city center and genuinely beloved by porteños. The tea selection alone — dozens of blends — makes it worth a dedicated visit.
