Urbania

The Lowdown.

You get coffee with a conscience when you charge up at one of Urbania’s three venues in Poblado and Envigado. Urbania’s founder, Ricardo Restrepo, is passionate about his caffeine fuelled mission to bring peace to Colombia through brewing great coffee. 

Its approach has made him a benchmark for social entrepreneurship and has allowed him to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in the coffee industry in Medellin.

Urbania overpays for its high-quality coffee beans seeking to support environmental and social causes including the substitution of coca crops with coffee farming in nearby Antioquia and important contributions to the conservation of habitats for endangered Colombian jaguars and bears by doing so. 

Roasted and bagged every day at the company’s expansive Urbania 14 HQ high up in the hills of El Poblado, it tastes good knowing that your caffeine kick is leaving a healthy impact in the Colombian countryside. 

The Calle 8 venue is more conveniently located for meetings, while the Urbania 14 location has a great patio area to get away from the crowds.
