Lovers of coffee shouldn’t pass up a quick glimpse at the gourmet drinks on offer at Este Café. Whether you settle into one of the colorful couches with a frozen Oreo cappuccino, soak up some funky break beats over a steaming cup of chai, or peruse the book exchange with a Baileys iced latte; it’s easy to chill at this artsy coffee spot. The drinks selection is varied and impressive, ranging from wholesome natural juices to wicked hot chocolates with marshmallows or cheese to a variety of caipiriñhas-with-a-twist. The mix of traditional Ecuadorean and international food choices also makes Café Este a popular haunt for students, travelers and businessmen with eccentric ties. Be sure to catch one of Café Este's monthly exhibitions featuring the works of Ecuadorean artists or one of its regular live music and theatre performances. Flyers and information about what else is on in Quito are also available.

Traveler Reviews of Este Café

A nice place to hang!

This is a great place to sit outside and watch people passing down Juan Leon Mera, one of the main streets of the city. You can enjoy excellent coffee, followed by a delicious dish from the specials menu and keep going with a nice and cheep cocktail. It's a nice place to be.
