01The courtyard

One courtyard, a hundred stories.

Everything at Yarumo happens around the courtyard: the first coffee of the day, a laptop open beside the plants, a conversation that starts in English and ends in Spanish.

By day, light slides down the corridors; at night the lamps come on and the courtyard turns into the living room.

03Café Yarumo

People come for the coffee. Then they stay.

Café Yarumo is the house brand: a Caturra Blend served in the courtyard, which has also come in bags to take home — ask if there’s any around.

Cappuccinos, tinto, something to eat and conversation with a courtyard view. Just coming for coffee? Ask us about the menu and today’s hours.

Good coffee. A little focus. Bogotá steps away.

  • House coffee and food a few steps from your table.
  • Natural light, plants and good music — the house’s own words.
  • The courtyard to stretch your legs between calls.

05Community

The Yarumo family.

Travellers passing through, neighbours dropping in for a tinto, artists painting, photographing or filming in the courtyard. That’s what the house proudly calls the Yarumo family.

Volunteers from abroad have joined the team for a few weeks at a time, too. If you’re curious, ask — there isn’t always a spot.

06Art in the courtyard

Art lives here.

On a courtyard wall, Van Gogh sips a coffee under his starry night. Tap the dots for a closer look.

07La Candelaria

La Candelaria, right outside.

The neighbourhood where Bogotá began: little squares, free museums, chicha and murals — nearly all within a fifteen-minute walk.
