About B19 Coffee Bar
B19 was born from a passion for coffee and service: a Mexican specialty coffee bar in a comfortable space, meant to share the world of coffee with the whole Baja California community. Located on Av. Juan Aldama in the Magisterial neighborhood, it has earned a reputation as "the best coffee place in Mexicali". The space has indoor and outdoor tables, with an elegant yet unpretentious vibe. The artisan pastry is as much a star as the coffee: raspberry cinnamon rolls, chocolate-walnut cookies and brownies. The bilingual staff makes visitors from both sides of the border feel at home. Its Cold Brew Lemonade is a cult favorite and the affogato is the perfect finish.
