Aplastados in Medellín, specialty coffee cafe

the cold brew here is the move if you're unsure where to start, though locals who've made aplastados a genuine habit tend to land on the espresso-based drinks and stay a while. calle 81 in aranjuez isn't a neighborhood that gets a lot of specialty coffee attention, which makes finding a place this seriously regarded all the more satisfying. you don't stumble into this kind of reputation without doing the actual work. the regulars clearly know it, and the consistency they keep coming back for is the real signal. if you're in the norte of medellín and want something that justifies the trip across town, an afternoon cortado on calle 81 is a pretty solid reason to go.
