Directions

Perched on a terrace in Santa Teresa with sweeping views over the city, this café is as much about the atmosphere and scenery as the coffee, though the drinks and light bites are genuinely good. It is a favorite for watching the sunset with a glass of wine or a well-made cappuccino. The location requires a bit of effort to reach but rewards handsomely.
