Cafetenango

Cafetenango specialises in Central American specialty coffee, with beans to choose by origin and roast as you find a cup to suit your taste. One customer enjoyed a medium-roast Guatemalan coffee, noting fruit-forward acidity reminiscent of grapes and a milk-chocolate-like finish, alongside the staff's explanation. Another found the balance of aroma, temperature and bitterness memorable in a dark-roast Guatemalan. Trying different roasts from the same origin is part of the appeal. The coffee is roasted by the business behind Cafetenango in a Diedrich roaster.

You don't need to be a coffee expert to enjoy a cup: one customer said they were pleased with a Costa Rican coffee recommended by staff, so asking for guidance may be a good way to choose. Reported pairings include banana bread, Central American cookies with a pronounced cheese flavour, and affogato. Another customer paired coffee with banana cake, making this a good stop for a sweet treat. Coffee cherry tea, made from the fruit surrounding the coffee bean, has also been tried here—a different option from a usual cup of coffee. There are also reports of pupusas from El Salvador, offering another way to explore Central American food culture.

You can eat and drink in, buy coffee beans or order takeaway. Whether you're settling in for a cup in Fukazawa or taking home beans you enjoyed, the focus is on coffee from Central America.
