El Cafe de Otraparte

Tucked inside the garden of Casa Museo Otraparte, the former home of Colombian philosopher Fernando Gonzalez, this cafe is one of Medellin''s genuine hidden gems. The lush courtyard setting beneath mature trees in the heart of Envigado creates a world apart from the bustle of El Poblado, and the museum''s active cultural calendar of poetry readings, cupping events and cinema screenings gives it a depth of character few cafes can match. Good Colombian coffee, excellent traditional food and an unhurried afternoon pace complete the experience.
