🇺🇸 Santuario Café brings Colombian coffee to Jackson Heights

Santuario Café has opened in Jackson Heights, New York, with Colombian specialty coffee roasted by Lion’s Head Coffee alongside matcha, baked goods and empanadas shaped by Colombian flavours. The opening was included in NYC Tourism’s September update, placing a coffee-led independent café in one of the city’s most food-rich neighbourhoods.

Why it matters: Jackson Heights is a compelling detour for anyone planning a coffee day beyond Manhattan and north Brooklyn. A café pairing Colombian beans with guava and panela-led drinks gives the area a more specific coffee stop than a generic all-day café, while its food programme makes it useful for a longer neighbourhood visit.

The event ran May 7-9 at World of Coffee Bangkok, with 46 competitors and a final ranking that also included Catherine Queiroz, Mehmet Sogan, and Mizuki Tagami.

Why it matters: Bangkok is a Filter Notes city, and hosting a major global sensory competition is a useful marker for readers tracking where the specialty coffee calendar is concentrating attention.
