Forest Coffee Shop is easy to walk past. It sits in the plaza of an unremarkable building near the Segundo Parque de Laureles, and nothing about the address prepares you for it. The regulars keep coming back anyway, and they come back for one reason: the coffee.
Inside is a small room full of plants — green, calm and quiet, closer to a reading café than a social one. This is somewhere to sit with a book and a good cup rather than somewhere to meet a crowd. Forest keeps the focus on what is in the cup, and if it wins you over, you can buy whole bags of coffee to take home with you.
Forest is open every day of the week, with later hours on Friday and Saturday.
