- The Coffee Store There’s a coffee shop chain called (very original, I know) The Coffee Store, that has branches spread all over BA, but I find one in the Recoleta neighborhood particularly nice for remote work. It’s very spacious, usually very quiet and it offers many options for food, so you’ll be able to lunch, brunch, and so on as you please. It also has those couch-like chairs against the walls in the indoor space, with power outlets beneath them and good tables too. It also has a beautiful outdoors patio, very quiet as well for remote working and with plenty of sunlight.
- Café Martinez It's also a coffee shop chain, and even if it usually gets more crowded than other places, it’s got great infrastructure for remote working, and also offers different food options. Coffee’s very good, as well as the service, and you’ll get one of these spots in whatever corner of the city you’re located.
- The Recoleta Cultural Center It's is a pretty cool place to work for a while and spend the afternoon at the same time, since it features a gorgeous patio, and the rooms indoors are full of contemporary art exhibits of many kinds, so young folks will probably meet alike people there. Besides that, it’s located in a gorgeous spot within the Recoleta neighborhood, and surrounded by a gorgeous square with its own artisans’ fair, many other bars and restaurants with outdoors and rooftop spaces, a Hard Rock café just opposite, and great green spaces all around for you to stroll or do exercise in.
In my opinion, Coffee Store on Camarones Street creates a welcoming atmosphere with its minimalistic decoration and natural light. The aroma of brewed coffee and the gentle sound of conversations provide an inspiring ambience for focused work. Usina de Café stands out for its menu (best carrot cake in town), comfortable seating options, and readily available power outlets. Malvón on Serrano Street boasts a cozy and artistic ambiance, with its well selected decoration and mood. Finally, La Faustina on Acevedo Street offers a chill setting, perfect for tasks requiring deep concentration. The garden area provides a refreshing escape during breaks.
Buenos Aires has some hidden spaces that many tourists miss out on. One of my favorites is the barrio of Chacarita. It's not as famous as Palermo or Recoleta, but it's got its own charm. You can visit the Chacarita Cemetery, which is less crowded than Recoleta Cemetery and equally impressive. Also, there's a beautiful hidden park called Parque Los Andes. Another spot is the Mercado de Pulgas in Colegiales. It's an indoor flea market with all sorts of vintage treasures, from old books to retro furniture. These places give you a taste of the authentic Buenos Aires that often gets overlooked by tourists.
Buenos Aires is full of amazing markets where you can find unique stuff. One of my top picks is "Feria de Mataderos". It's a bit far from the city center, but reallyworth it. You'll get a taste of traditional Argentine culture, with folk music, dancing, and, of course, plenty of crafts and local food. Another gem could be "Feria de San Telmo", which happens every Sunday. It's in the heart of the historic San Telmo neighborhood, and you can find antiques, handmade goods, and a great atmosphere. Both places offer a real taste of Buenos Aires' culture that you won't find in the more touristy spots.
Plaza Serrano has been a hub of intercultural exchange, and the vibrant energy of the place during MundoLingo meetings at Cervelar has been inspiring. The blend of languages, cultures, and conversations adds a unique flavor to the outdoor experience, making it an excellent opportunity for networking and relaxation alike. I particularly recall a meditation gathering in Palermo's woods, where the leaves and the distant sounds of the city faded away, leaving a sense of peace. Additionally, the board game nights have added a playful twist to my outdoor activities, fostering a sense of community among participants. Lastly, the San Telmo free walking tour offered historical insights while exploring the charming streets and alleys of the neighborhood.
The four spaces I recommended have qualities that can significantly boost productivity. The Biblioteca Nacional offers an air of quiet intellectualism that envelops you as soon as you step inside. During a visit to the Biblioteca de la Legislatura, I was struck by the magnificent historical ambiance that surrounds you and the great ancient architecture. At the Biblioteca de los Maestros, the dedicated workstations are comfortable and the library's beautiful antique-style rooms further enhance the work atmosphere. At Casa de la Lectura there is a quiet and focused environment. The space, with its modern interior design, is conducive to deep work, and the availability of an open outdoor area offers a good break option.
