This inviting little cafetería specializes in its own brew of organic Ecuadorian coffee and varieties of green tea imported from Korea. The cafe was founded in October 2007 by an international group of business partners who wanted to create a space for cultural exchange and high-quality coffee and tea. 

The coffee shop maintains constant contact with their coffee and tea producers, respecting the principles of Fair Trade. In addition to tea and coffee, they serve small snacks like quiche and toasted sandwiches. Prices are higher than average, but the quality of both the products and the service definitely make it worth spending the extra buck. The interior of the café is bright, colorful and warm, with wooden tables and floors and large windows to watch passers-by. With classic jazz playing in the background, this is a perfect place for chatting with friends, reading or writing while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. Service is extremely friendly and newcomers are welcomed with a smile and a little introduction to the principles and specialties of the place. From the outside, Road Coffee is easy to spot thanks to its bright orange exterior and large sign. It is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays.
