In the heart of Retiro, the Kavanagh building, the Art Deco gem that became a milestone in porteño architecture, now hides a secret that enchants coffee lovers: Cora Café. Located in the entrance hall of this iconic skyscraper, the café is named after Corina Kavanagh, the visionary behind the building’s construction in 1936.

Cora Café is not just a place to enjoy specialty coffee but an experience that combines history, design, and flavor. Its interior, inspired by the building's travertine details, makes you feel as if you’re in another corner of the Kavanagh. Furthermore, the café offers a selection of books about Corina’s life, inviting you to learn more about the woman who defied the norms of her time.

The menu features coffee from Puerto Blest, paired with classic options such as croissants, fosforitos, and alfajores, perfect for breakfast or a snack. And in the afternoon, you can enjoy a glass of wine, cheese boards, and charcuterie, all in a tranquil environment that takes you away from the city’s hustle and bustle.



Cora Café is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a tribute to history and porteño style. If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to visit this unique spot that blends tradition and modernity.
