⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute gem in Ottawa! BACATA Colombian Coffee is hands down one of the best spots I’ve discovered. The food is next-level — the Colombian empanadas are honestly the best I’ve ever had (crispy on the outside, packed with flavor inside), and the guava pastelitos? A must-try if you love something sweet and flaky. Their lemonade is refreshing and delicious and if you’re a coffee lover But what truly sets this place apart is the ambiance. The inside is warm and chic with cozy tables and a beautiful setup, and they even have a little sweets table at the front entrance. And a gorgeous, private patio out back!

A coffee shop where the owners treat every customer like they’ve just walked into a five-star restaurant. They’re deeply committed to sharing Colombian culture in the best way possible. As a Colombian myself, I’ll be bringing my friends here, not just for a treat, but for a full coffee immersion experience. (Y las empanadas? espectaculares!)

This place is already a blast and is gonna become one of the most treasured food gems in Ottawa. Food is delicious and coffee is amazing! The chocolate with cheese is a gem that all Latin Americans will treasure. Diego and Ale -the owners- are kind, and give a 5 star service. Kudos to the Latin American people who make of Ottawa a happier place to live!

There aren’t many specialty coffee spots in Ottawa, so I came here with high hopes. If you enjoy slow-brewed, high-quality coffee, I recommend trying the V60 with Colombian beans. It’s smooth, flavorful, and made from beans that have been rated highly by experts/ Q graders 82/100—think of it like getting a solid 8 out of 10 for taste and quality. I just hope this place continues to focus on the coffee experience rather than turning more into a kitchen.

Very friendly staff, matcha & latte were great for the price, plenty of sitting space inside and out. They also played ambient noises behind some music and it was super calming, good study vibe for sure, never heard anything like that in a cafe before

The staff is extremely friendly and everything we tried from the menu is excellent. The red velvet cake was perfect, not too sweet, and the waffle sandwiches were delicious as well. I will go back to try more desserts and empanadas!
