Café Saudade

the café con leche here is the kind of thing that makes you reconsider what you've been drinking everywhere else. sabaneta sits just south of medellín on the aburrá valley's southern end, a municipio that moves at its own pace, and café saudade on cra. 46 fits that rhythm. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit alone. there's a consistency to what comes out of this place that takes real attention to maintain, and that kind of standing doesn't hold in a neighborhood like this without genuinely good coffee behind it. if you're making your way down carrera 46, the afternoon hours are worth timing your visit around, and the café con leche is the right place to start.
