Welcome to Idoneo Cafe, a charming haven nestled at Bartolome Mitre 1332 in the heart of Montevideo. This delightful cafeteria offers not just a place to enjoy your favorite coffee but an experience that engages all your senses.

Idoneo Cafe takes pride in its finely crafted coffee, particularly the Cold Brew Café Seis Montes, which is meticulously brewed over 18 hours for a smooth, full-bodied flavor that captivates coffee aficionados. Whether you’re craving a traditional Café Americano or looking to indulge in a rich Cappuccino – topped with an optional sweet syrup – the skilled baristas at Idoneo are here to serve perfection in every cup.

If you’re in the mood for something hearty, their menu includes mouth-watering sandwiches, such as the Sándwich Caliente De Lomito, made using their house-made brioche bread, filled with succulent lomito, cheese, and a perfectly fried egg. The Sándwich Prensado Capresse made with fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and aromatic basil is a favorite for its light and refreshing taste—a perfect pairing with a warm cup of coffee.

Excellent food, attentive service, amazing jazz.” The gentle ambiance, highlighted by the soft sounds of jazz music, creates a cozy atmosphere ideal for catching up with friends or settling in with a good book.

Tara Hudson, another delighted patron, emphasizes the cafe’s reliable breakfast offerings, stating, “I appreciated that it opened at 8 am, as many breakfast places don’t open until 9 or later," showcasing its role as a vital stop for early risers.

My very favorite place for a coffee, calm, and comida. Excellent food, attentive service, amazing jazz. I love to turn my friends on to this lovely little cafe (but I'm glad it's still on the DL).

We stopped here for breakfast before our 11,am ferry to Buenos Aires. We appreciated that it opened at 8 am, as many breakfast places don't open until 9 or later. We had a latte and a matcha, both with leche vegetal, and we also both had the huevos revueltos. Everything was excellent! I appreciated the option to have gluten-free bread with mine. I definitely recommend visiting!

Delicious! I had one of the best breakfasts/brunches here, and it was like American quality. The iced coffee drink was so amazing too! The whole menu sounds wonderful, so I’m going to have to visit many more times to try everything. Very friendly staff too!

THIS IS THE PLACE FOR COFFEE! Look nowhere else. I have been in Uruguay for 4 days now, trying different coffees 2x a day (morning and afternoon) and this has been the best one so far in the country in terms of flavor. Kind staff, well located and modern furniture inside.
