Al Alma
Coffee with soul and heart. The perfect mix of one of the most charming coffee shops in Antioquia.
The Lowdown.
This soulful coffee roasting expert has locations throughout Medellin and some cozy, colonial retreats in Santa Fe de Antioquia and Cartagena. Translating as ‘straight to the soul’, Al Alma is a tasty venue with a heartfelt following amongst locals that enjoy their cappuccino with a slice of cake.
With more than 13 branches around the country, the carefully designed methods for developing a unique coffee experience have made Al Alma one of the pillars of the Colombian coffee world.
Our favorite venue is the upstairs version in Laureles with an elevated view of the leafy neighborhood and the addictive whiff of superior beans from farms in Huila being roasted in situ.
A slice of red velvet or chocolate cake with one of Al Alma’s brews is as uplifting as a gospel choir. As well as its Laureles flagship, Al Alma has other locations in the principal malls, Viva Envigado, Oviedo, and El Tesoro in El Poblado and a mini-market in Patio Bonito that is great for picking up freshly baked sourdough loaves and your favorite cakes to go.
