Licensed Coffee

Shelves of vinyl records lit in yellow beside a warm pendant lamp and a window onto the street at Licensed Coffee

Licensed opened in 2025 on Calle del Cardenal Silíceo in Prosperidad, pairing a specialty coffee bar with a serious listening setup. The room is acoustically treated so the vinyl, which leans towards hip hop, jazz and soul, sounds the way it should. Rotating specialty roasters supply the coffee, and each month a special bean is brought in for anyone who wants something funkier than the house option.

Espresso, V60, batch brew and cold brew are all on the bar, and the compact interior seating along the window is complemented by a terrace. Laptops are welcome on weekdays, wifi is available and dogs are allowed inside, with a water bowl waiting. Bags of 250 grams of the rotating selection can be taken home, and alternative milks are available.
