El Gato Negro

buenos aires takes its coffee seriously, and corrientes avenue even more so. it's a street that doesn't slow down, all bookshops and late-night theatre crowds and people moving with somewhere to be. el gato negro sits in that current at av. corrientes 1669, and if you're passing through that stretch of the city, it's the kind of place that gives you a reason to stop. locally well regarded, and not quietly so. the specialty focus means the sourcing and preparation get actual attention, not an afterthought. you don't need to be a coffee obsessive to notice the difference, but you might become one. a good moment to go: after a matinée at one of the nearby theatres, when corrientes is just starting to hum again.
