Café San Alberto
Centro Histórico · Plaza de Santo Domingo, Centro Histórico, Cartagena
⚠ WiFi is too slow for reliable work. Bring a hotspot — the location makes it worth it anyway.
One of Cartagena's most iconic café locations — Plaza Santo Domingo, next to Botero's famous reclining figure, across from the church and the Spanish Cultural Centre. The coffee is genuinely excellent, among the best in the city. The WiFi is not — 3 down / 1 up when tested, and this isn't a one-off. Come here for the atmosphere and a great espresso. Bring your own hotspot if you need to work.
