Quito, Ecuador
Why it’s on the route
Café Traviesa was opened in 2013 by Felipe Cisneros, an early figure in Quito specialty coffee who also imports espresso machines and grinders. He roasts Ecuadorian micro-lots to medium profiles on a Diedrich roaster that sits in the front window. The café serves espresso drinks with croissants and light Ecuadorian breakfasts, and sells beans from several regions.
