Pastelería y Biscochería La Araña de Oro

Mission Impossible: Finding a brewed coffee in downtown Cúcuta. Awakening, that is just what I needed. No, not the sugared, watery java of the street vendors pushing a luggage rack full of thermoses. But a cup of real joe. Every place, though, had only (groan) glorified instant coffee machines. Finally, after several hours of searching, my caffeine-deprived nerves were soothed at La Araña de Oro.

I sit down, my hands embracing that hot ceramic cup. Mission accomplished. Open Monday-Saturday 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Sunday 8 a.m.-noon.
