El Viejo Café

On the hunt for baked goods I stumbled upon this place and boy was I happy! The space itself is wonderful, there are areas to sit and have an experience inside and outside as well. I loved the cheesecake cupcake! So unique and the other things I tried did not disappoint either! Check out this place if you have a sweet tooth when visiting the city.

If you are looking for breakfast in Antigua then this is hard to beat. A beautiful two course breakfast served with drinks in a cool, contemporary, historic building with a mellow soundtrack.

Good value too.

Loved it.

This place was so cute! I loved everything about it. The Uber driver recommended we have breakfast here and it was delicious. Pancakes, eggs, fresh fruit- yum! Service was great too!

After we found this place, we didn't go to any other restaurants in Antigua. The food is delicious with fair price. The staff are friendly and professional. It has a lovely atmosphere. I recommend 👌

Super good service and delicious sandwiches and drinks… I was expecting a bit of a larger menu for dinner but the few options were really good! Always go for the dessert and coffee!

Very good breakfast options. Super tasty food, well seasoned and huge portions. Very friendly and professional service. The place is popular so make sure you get there before 10am to avoid waiting time.

I Love this place!! The best coffee in town, great breakfast, lunch and dinnner! Its always a winner!

We had a lovely meal outside in the courtyard. The Lomito Chiltepe was amazing and the Mediterranean Pasta was good. The service was top notch and the prices were reasonable. Thinking of the Lomito Chiltepe is making my mouth water.

Very good food. Very busy too. Pretty much the only busy place we've seen while here. They have a to go section up front or seating in the courtyard. Meals come with coffee and juice for the kids.

Very nice place with good options for breakfast. Waiters are always here to give you the best attention. You have free refill for coffee. My favorite place for breakfast definitely!

Absolutely delicious! First meal in Guatemala didn’t disappoint. Their bread is incredible. Their sauces are so flavorful. I’ll make my way back here.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The baked items (croissants etc) are excellent, and the frappe coffee was amazing

Exeland location, super relax atmosphere, perfect service... delicious food with fresh fruit salat, and the best ham croissant... wish I would come again

Never disappoints! Food is amazing and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend: Pollo Crocante!

Delicious food. Good price. Would definitely go back. The oatmeal was too sweet for me and was more like a sauce. The beans were also more like a soup and didn't many beans in it.

Delicious coffee, with all the usual range of specialty coffees. It’s bakery too and the bread and pastries looked great but didn’t try them. Lovely large interior of a classic colonial town house, great ambiance, friendly and efficient service. recommend highly for coffee.

It is a place whose atmosphere gives you calm and allows you to enjoy its exquisite coffees as well as its very good pastries. It is enjoyed in the wide sense of the word, the music if there is one is pleasant and moderate, which allows you to have a conversation without major noise problems, the service is very good and tremendously comfortable. Another day we ordered take a way. Pastry was fresh and extremely good. 100% recommendable.

I’ve always gotten “to-go”, the food is delicious and service is quick. For savory I love the ham and cheese croissant, my favorite dessert is the fruit tart. Great prices and so yummy!

Nice place to grab a complete breakfast. Great service and tasty dishes.

Love coming to this café. Came here once for breakfast and another time for lunch. Both experiences were wonderful. The staff, food and atmosphere is great! My go to place whenever I go to Antigua now 🥰
