In Guatemala, a convivio is a get together where we’re all welcome. We gather around crowded tables with our friends and neighbors to share, connect, and enjoy delicious culturally-rooted food and drink. At Convivio Café we want to celebrate the roots of our neighborhood—some deep and some newly planted—as they grow side by side. Some prefer americanos over atoles, or avocado toast over pan dulce. No matter your preference, you are invited to our convivio.

Sample their pour-over, Chemex, espresso, and cold brew preparation methods, with standout flavors like Don Roberto (a light roast with notes of dark chocolate and sweet lime), Petrona Perez (highlighting tropical fruits and sugar cane), and spiced specialties like Café de Olla brewed with cinnamon and star anise.
