El Cafetero is a roastery, café and pâtisserie in Warsaw. It roasts in small batches at its café in Śródmieście and runs a second café on Plac Zbawiciela.

The roastery buys from coffee regions around the world with an eye on harvest quality, processing and a transparent supply chain, and profiles each roast to bring out the coffee’s sweetness, structure and aromatic complexity. Its range keeps classic, balanced coffees for everyday brewing next to more experimental, fruit-led lots, with roasts for the espresso machine, the moka pot and filter. The Reserve Limited line holds limited editions and micro-lots in natural, washed and anaerobic processes, and La Mixtura is its house filter blend.

Both cafés serve El Cafetero’s own coffee as espresso drinks and as filter brewed by several methods, with cakes and pastries from its own pâtisserie. Beans are sold online by the bag, whole or ground for the moka pot, for filter or for cupping.
