All of these cafés (or coffices) offer excellent spaces with a great atmosphere where you can drink a good cup of coffee or tea while you do whatever you need.
Devoción
Café Devoción is one of the best places to drink a delicious cup of coffee and study, work, or have a business meeting. The name “Devoción” isn’t just a pretty name of the brand, it also represents the devotion of the founders to bring harmony to Colombia, as well as the best, freshest coffee in the world to their clients. This café is really cozy, has a nice, calm, and relaxed atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot when you need to concentrate but also is good for chilling out with your friends. It has an excellent WiFi connection (See: All You Need to Know about How to Get a SIM Card in Bogotá) and the coffee is prepared using various methods (French press, dripper, V60, etc.) by some of the country’s top baristas.

San Alberto
San Alberto coffee is the most award-winning single estate Colombian coffee; a coffee temple designed for coffee lovers (See: Colombian Coffee: What is on the Menu at a Typical Café).

This café is really beautiful and comfortable. It has wood interiors, very comfortable leather sofas, walls of different plants, and music with a very relaxed, chill-out vibe. It’s perfect if you want to have a deep conversation, business meeting, study, or just work.
