Welcome to Cafe Antigua, where our story is steeped in heritage, guided by a steadfast mission, and enriched by the vibrant community we serve.

Our Heritage: A Legacy of Excellence
At Cafe Antigua, our heritage is rooted in the rich coffee culture of Guatemala. From the heart of the renowned Antigua region, we source our premium coffee beans, capturing the essence of volcanic soils and high altitudes. These beans, carefully selected and roasted to perfection, pay homage to centuries-old traditions that have defined Guatemalan coffee as some of the finest in the world.
Our founder's background in restaurant dining adds another layer of excellence to our heritage. With a passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences, our founder's expertise infuses every aspect of Cafe Antigua, from the menu's delectable offerings to the warm and inviting atmosphere.
