De Paso Express Coffee

you've got a laptop, an hour to kill, and no interest in a café that treats solo diners like an inconvenience. de paso express, tucked on carrera 85a in medellín, works for exactly that kind of morning. order a cortado, find a table, stay as long as you need. regulars keep coming back here, and that kind of loyalty usually means the coffee holds up cup after cup, not just on a good day. the tea list goes beyond an afterthought too, which matters if you're the type who alternates between caffeine and something calmer by midday. hungry? the small plates lean vegetarian, easy to pair with whatever you're drinking without overthinking it. good for a slow saturday or a tuesday you need to disappear into for a while. order the cortado first, then decide how long you're staying.
