Félix Café
Félix opened in 2021 on Coyancura beside Plaza Lyon, started by a group of journalists who traded newsrooms for a small, honest coffee bar. The 56 square meter room was a laundromat for three decades before architects Oficina Bravo and designer Simón Sepúlveda turned it into a distinctive space that deliberately avoids the usual café look.
The beans are roasted by Coffee Culture Coffee Roasters, the Maipú pioneers, and are pulled on a Synesso espresso machine, with a cold extraction brew that steeps for at least sixteen hours. The bar is known for quick, expertly made coffee, plant based milk is on hand, and the sweet treats lean vegan, making it an easy and friendly stop on the way through Providencia.
