Specialty coffee shops you should visit in Guayaquil
We love coffee, and we love coffee shops! Those pleasant places where you enjoy your coffee and have a great experience that makes your day better, where you might go to clear your mind and activate your creativity. Today we want to dedicate an article to several of those specialty coffee shops located in the city of Guayaquil, which work hard every day and are a fundamental part of the growth of the culture of appreciation, love, and respect for Ecuadorian coffee.
Be amazed by the talented baristas you'll meet, get your camera ready to take the best latte art photos, and train your palate, as you can try coffee with different brewing methods at several of them.
Boncibō It's a bistro café with a strong concept of "feel good food," with cooking as the means to make you feel good. Its name comes from the French "Bon," meaning "good," and "cibo," meaning "food." At Boncibō, we find good coffee and good food.
Their unique coffee drinks will help you keep exploring and not just stick to the traditional. This coffee shop decided to play a little with creativity and add an innovative touch to many things. This is true of the affogato (drowned), this Italian coffee-based dessert consisting of espresso and a scoop of ice cream, almost always vanilla. Boncibō's famous AffoGato is made with specialty coffee and a vanilla or chocolate ice cream sandwich shaped like a cute kitten, said to be loosely inspired by Tibu, Barista Mario's renowned cat.
The cereal latte that takes us back to our childhood and that fun part that we shouldn't lose. And, if you love ristretto or macchiato, there's the delicious cookie shot option, in which you'll not only get to enjoy a delicious coffee, but you'll also be able to devour the glass it's served in, since it's made of choco-chip cookies.
At Fika Coffee House, you can enjoy coffee made using methods like the French press , and you'll find a delicious menu that will surprise you. This coffee shop carries such a significant word in coffee culture around the world, and we don't want to miss this opportunity to tell you about what it represents.
Sweden is one of the countries that consumes the most coffee, and culturally, they celebrate it with Fika; this word means coffee break. This time can be taken at any time of day, whether at work, with friends, or family. It has been proven that this break greatly contributes to productivity and inspiration among people.
If you dedicate a sacred time every day to sipping your coffee, we have no doubt that Fika Coffee House will be on your list of favorite coffee shops. If you're a fan of the lifestyle vibe, this is the place for you. You'll have a unique experience of seeing and experiencing coffee.

Cookies and coffee! One of the best combinations to share, ever. If cookies are your thing, you should definitely visit Dipping Cookies. Chef Ana Cristina Granja's passion for baking led her to found this cafe. Since she was a child, she loved baking cookies, ice cream, and experimenting with various ingredients.
In 2017, all Dipping Cookies treats were baked in-house and delivered. With new products and flavors on their menu, they opened their first location in 2018 and their second in 2019. Variety and quality have always been what set them apart.
Imagine some Oreo and white chocolate cookies or a Crémme Brûlée cookie cup with a good cappuccino or Americano. Sounds good to you?
We're living in an era where leading a healthy life is a lifestyle, and at a place like PROT INN, we realize that eating delicious and healthy food is possible.
