Urbania's Calle 8 cafe is near Parque El Poblado, south of central Medellín. Its open frontage leads past small tables and wooden chairs to a tiled coffee bar, with beans and brewing equipment on shelves beside it. Come for Colombian coffee and a yuca-waffle breakfast; the compact room suits one or two people better than a large group.
Coffee
Urbania roasts Colombian coffee, including the Café Paz range supporting growers affected by conflict. Espresso and milk drinks sit alongside V60, AeroPress, Chemex and French press. Try a hand brew before choosing beans for home; presses and other brewing equipment are sold here too. Coffee lemonade and cascara soda offer cold alternatives to espresso; hot and iced matcha are also available.
Food
Yuca waffles come with cinnamon and sweet cream cheese or savoury toppings. Eggs, breakfast burritos and sandwiches make this a meal stop as well as a coffee bar.
Service & Room
Wooden floors, pendant lights and tables at the open frontage give Calle 8 a small, informal dining room. Ask the baristas about the available coffees and their origins. This review is anchored here; the map also includes Urbania's mall cafés, the Sophía Terrace inside Museo de Antioquia and its counter at Librería 9 3/4 in Viva Palmas. Menus and seating vary by location.
