Café La Parada

Charming little coffee spot off La Merced Park. Seriously delicious coffee. Don't miss the pastry and sandwiches. Benches bookend the entrance and provide a perfect view of the park.

The people here are so friendly and awesome I can’t believe it 💙
The coffee and food is awesome too
And the prices are really good

I’m so happy I found this place in Antigua. I stopped by for a cappuccino which was really cheap compared to other cafe’s in the area. These are the first croissants and baguettes I’ve had in Guatemala that remind me of home. The croissants were flaky and smelled amazing and the baguettes were crispy! Stop by for some nice snacks and a coffee

Casual kind of cafe, not much on aesthetics but my latte was delicious. There are definitely cuter & more refined specialty coffee shops in Antigua but the prices here are inexpensive, they have great coffee and speedy, kind service!

Good food and coffee for a reasonable price. Although they have Wi-Fi working on the place — good enough to have meetings, it’s not laptop friendly as no outlets are available. So if you need to have a quick bite and/or a quick meeting while having coffee it’s a good place to go.

Delicious coffee, inexpensive, great wifi. Treats looked good too, we'll have to try them next time.

One of my favorite coffeespots in town! The coffee is amazing! Staff is super friendly!

I went here multiple times a day on my recent trip to Antigua 😅 delicious lattes, fresh croissants, and great people! Cute little bench at the door to chill and people watch. Wonderful conversations with new friends. Prices are very fair! 10/10.

Went here at suggestion of some locals and it did not disappoint. Great coffee and specialties. Excellent ambiance. Will go here again.

Nice little café with great wifi and affordable drinks. You can sit and work for an afternoon without breaking the bank when you buy a treat every hour or so. They also have a bathroom, if you’re there for a long work session. Baristas are helpful and speedy. Highly recommend the hot chocolate!

My favorite latte I’ve had in Guatemala! The staff is also so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. They even have almond milk!

Great coffee and croissants! Nice, chill atmosphere with a view of Parque la Merced across the street.

Such great coffee and really friendly staff! We visited two days in a row because it was just so good! Decent prices too!

Really great coffee with not so bad prices (for touristy Antigua). Staff are super friendly, great to chat and practice Spanish. Take away and sit in. I’ve become quite the regular!

Possibly the best coffee we had on our trip around Central America - and at very reasonable prices too! ☕ Didn’t try the sandwiches as we had breakfast included in our hotel but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t call out to me every time we were grabbing coffee! Solid wifi here too!

Very very very nice coffee! We had two double cappuccino in a small take away cup and it was delicious and pretty! (Latte art makes your coffee taste so good! It’s not just the taste, the eye is important too!) highly recommend this place for coffee!

Best value for money coffee in town!! Nice staff, excellent cappuccino and a good local atmosphere. We’ve tested several (good) café places in Antigua and this was our favourite!

A cute little cafe overlooking the courtyard of the church! I stopped in here to grab a quick drink and a snack, and wasn’t disappointed. Along with all of their coffee related drinks, they also had a good selection of iced teas and other drinks. They also have a nice selection of pastries, and I enjoyed the brownie I had with my tea. Highly recommend to check it out!

Great cup of coffee at a reasonable price! Good place to chill, directly in front of Iglesia de La Merced.

A fantastic little shop with great sandwiches and of course great coffee. Angle your seat right and enjoy the lights from the church across the road or people watch from a discrete distance. The staff were cheerful and charming for someone with my limited Spanish. They quickly corrected me when I mistook American dollars for Quetzales and I struggle to stop after only one of their delicious ham, mozzarella croissants that are served with the cheese freshly melted before the sandwich melts in your mouth. I've enjoyed other great sandwiches with guacamole and avocado on ciabatta bread but this is my favourite. Overall, a great value, great location, and great atmosphere.
