Buenos Aires / Coffee notes

The Buenos Aires brunch and coffee shortlist

These Buenos Aires cafés serve a full breakfast or brunch alongside specialty coffee, with options around Palermo.

Filter Notes · 4 cafés · Map ↓

Surry Hills serves Australian-style brunch. Rita Armenia has a terrace, Kajue is a smaller Soho café, and Ninina is the choice for bread and cakes as well as a meal.

The shortlist stays close to Palermo and its edges: Ninina's original Gorriti cafe is the bakery-led choice within the core visitor grid.

Surry Hills Coffee Palermo

Surry Hills Coffee is on Arévalo in the Las Cañitas edge of Palermo, north-west of central Buenos Aires and away from the older Borges listing that can still confuse searches. The room borrows the Australian cafe template: minimalist surfaces, sidewalk tables, communal energy, flat whites, iced drinks, and brunch plates that make the stop feel fuller than a straight espresso bar.

Surry Hills Coffee Palermo · Palermo / Las Cañitas

Food is the reason this page gets a brunch tag. Avo toast, bacon-and-egg rolls, Turkish eggs, croissant-and-egg plates, pastrami, granola, and carrot cake all sit naturally beside the coffee. The menu gives travellers a practical Palermo breakfast or weekend brunch option without giving up on the cup.

Rita Specialty Coffee Armenia

Rita Specialty Coffee Armenia sits on Armenia 1595 in Palermo Soho, inside the part of Buenos Aires where cafe choice can get noisy very quickly. The branch is useful because it has a clear identity: specialty coffee, Colombian-coffee lean, brunch, terrace seating, and long daily hours that make it easy to slot into a Palermo day.

Food is a real part of the pitch. The Armenia branch covers breakfast, lunch, brunch, small plates, desserts, and coffee, while standouts include avo toast and relaxed weekend brunches. That gives the Armenia branch a useful place between coffee bar and all-day cafe.

Kajue Café

Kajue Caf�� sits on Guatemala 4665 in Palermo Soho, close to one of Buenos Aires' densest cafe-and-restaurant grids. It is a small, current, social-media-visible cafe with enough live listing support to add as a hidden draft: Menuweb, Corner, Wanderlog, QTal Argentina, and LATAM Coffee Trip all point to an active Guatemala address.

Ninina

Ninina's Gorriti cafe is in Palermo, inside Buenos Aires' most practical coffee-and-food quarter, and it is the right place to understand the brand. This was Ninina's first house and remains its production centre: come for a proper table rather than a quick cup, with breakfast, brunch, cakes and bread giving the coffee room to do more than carry the meal.

Food is why Ninina earns a different place in this guide. The current menu spans eggs, avocado toast, bagels, sandwiches and salads, while the pastry counter carries cakes, croissants, cinnamon rolls, alfajores and bread. The house cake catalogue runs beyond the everyday slice, so it works as well for an afternoon merienda as it does for brunch.
