Tosto Cafe

medellín has spent years building a coffee identity that goes beyond simply growing the stuff, and the city's south is quietly home to some of the more serious roasting operations in antioquia. tosto cafe sits on carrera 52 in guayabal, a working district that doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. that straightforwardness suits a place that appears to focus on the coffee itself rather than the surrounding performance. locals have taken to it genuinely, which in a city this caffeinated means something. if you're navigating south medellín and want somewhere with actual convictions about what ends up in the cup, guayabal is worth the detour. start with whatever they're currently roasting in house.
