El Gato Negro, Historic café and spice shop in San Nicolás, Argentina.
The interior features wooden counters, Italian ash display cases, Dutch bronze chandeliers, and walls covered with glass jars containing spices and herbs.
Victoriano López Robredo founded El Gato Negro in 1928 after working for British spice companies and gaining experience in Ceylon, Philippines, and Singapore.
The establishment received recognition as a Notable Bar in 2004, preserving its role in Buenos Aires cultural heritage through its traditional coffee service.
Located at Avenida Corrientes 1669, the café operates Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 11 PM, and Friday to Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM.
The basement houses a coffee roasting facility where they create specialty blends, including their signature cardamom-infused coffee that draws customers from across Buenos Aires.
