Belgrano
Moisha Bakery - Belgrano
@nicki
This is a Jewish cafe with fantastic bagels, pretzels, and several coffee options. Inside is cozy and the people working here are really nice. Unfortunately I did not see shakshouka on the menu, which I was hoping to find. They have both breakfast and lunch food options.

SĀNTAL - Belgrano
@nicki
There are actually 3 locations of Santal. This location is slightly bigger than the others. There is a ton of seating both inside and outside on the front patio and back garden. Inside you have the choice of chairs or sofas.
There are a lot of great food and drink options, including the brunch special for two.
For 4400 pesos (About $20 USD), you can get:
Avocado Toast with a poached egg
Chipas filled with mushrooms
Maicena Alfajor
Banana bread with cream on top
Lemonade
Coffee
Aperol Spritz
Everything is made fresh in house and you can tell. It is all very delicious. We had brunch in the back garden underneath mandarin and banana trees. Very relaxing.
We went on a Sunday around noon and it wasn't too busy yet. We easily found a table.

Togni's Café
@nicki
Togni's Cafe is the same owner as Togni's Pizza just two doors down. The same amazing bread recipe is used in both places.
This cafe is long and thin, but there are a number of tables in the very back. They have homemade bagels, bread, pumpkins, cookies, etc. They also have several sandwich options. All heavenly.
The people who work here are also incredibly kind.
You need to wait in line and order and pay at the front of the cafe. Once your food is ready, they will either bring it to you or call your name.
I went on a Friday at 11am and had no problem at all to get a table.
I ordered a cappuccino and a bagel with cream cheese for a total of 900 pesos.

Chacarita
Bar Palacio (Museo Fotográfico Simik)
@nicki
This bar/cafe is so unique. There are a ton of antique cameras, and film cameras all over the place. At the same time it has the feel of an old time saloon.
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights you can find live jazz music here.
There are the standard cafe options as well as lunch and dinner items.
The main appeal is the ambience.

“Wow. Nicki is super knowledgeable about Argentina and actually travel in general. We discussed everything from general safety to the cost of renting an apartment long-term. My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.”
-Ray
“Nicki’s consultation was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns with ease and intelligence. She’s definitely someone to talk to before you visit or relocate to Buenos Aires or other locations in Argentina.”
-Paul
“My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“
