About This Spot

Stepping into CARAJO Coffee Shop in the heart of San Salvador feels like finding a hidden nook where time slows down just enough to breathe and savor the day. Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood square, the space embraces you with a warmth that’s both deliberate and effortless, inviting moments of quiet reflection or easy conversation over a well-crafted cup.

The atmosphere hums with a gentle energy—a balance between a cozy café's intimate hush and the lively pulse of local life just outside its doors. Here, the rhythm is unhurried, encouraging visitors to linger, whether sipping something rich and velvety or nibbling on a thoughtfully prepared bite. The friendly staff carry the kind of welcoming spirit that doesn’t rush but carefully attends, making each moment feel quietly special.

Within CARAJO’s menu, there is a clear love for both classic coffee traditions and gentle, unexpected twists. Matcha and lavender find their way into delicate lattes, while house-roasted beans offer familiar comforts with their deep, nuanced aromas. Seasonal treats and freshly baked goods, like coconut bread or a sweet banana loaf, serve as perfect companions to any beverage, revealing a kitchen that pays attention to balance and flavor without overshadowing simplicity.

The space also feels alive beyond daily cups—with events that bring local stories and celebrations to life, this is a place threaded into its community’s fabric. CARAJO isn’t just about coffee; it’s about creating moments that feel carefully crafted but naturally unfolding—a quiet spot where the everyday can taste a little more thoughtful and a little more connected.

Incredible toasts (aguacate, hummus) and 10/10 matcha latte. The coffee beans smelled incredible, but to be honest the drip coffee I had wasn't my favorite. More of a preference thing though so still 5/5 for me. incredibly friendly staff.

Very cozy place with super delicious food and amazing drinks. Best coffee I had in San Salvador and golden milk was delicious as well. The service is very friendly and fast

I had an amazing experience here. I ordered a soy flat white, cappuccino and cordatito and the quality was great. The barista was very knowledgeable and friendly. They have nice treats and also really good Kombucha!

This coffee shop is amazing! Super cozy vibe, friendly staff, and delicious food. They offer vegan desserts (the chocolate chip cookie was my fave ) and their drinks are incredible — especially the Coquito Latte (seasonal), matcha, taro latte, lavender milk, and their house-made chai (so fresh!). They also host events, and the one I attended was such a vibe — perfect for weddings, baby showers, tea parties, or any cute gathering. Highly recommend!

We came twice to this adorable, minimalist, yet stylish coffee shop and have never been disappointed. The server is super welcoming and accommodating. The coffee is tasty, and they serve a delectable matcha. Bonus for the music and all the plants.

Great experience today at Carajo Coffee. Went with my family and was met with excellent and friendly service. Staff is very knowledgeable but unpretentious about each mode of extraction which contributes to the shop’s inviting ambiance. Coffee itself is well executed and presented—leagues better than other shops in the area of more acclaim. Food was very good and exceeded expectations for a coffee shop. Parking is readily available. Order: flat white Hario v60 pour over Shot of espresso (barista served with a side cup of water-a detail which demonstrated her level of expertise) Chilaquiles Burrito

Truly excellent service, great knowledge and skill. We enjoyed local El Salvador beans in the chemex and I walked out with bag as well. The cafe is on the second floor.
