El Olmo

Coffee shop, pizzeria and restaurant

it is a traditional Buenos Aires "confitería" and pizzeria, it is located in a very diverse and busy area (at the border of Barrio Norte and Recoleta, near the intersection of Av. Santa Fe and Av. Pueyrredón). Specialized LGBTQ+ travel guides, such as GayCities and misterb&b, categorize it as a popular "meeting point" with a "mixed (gay/straight)" atmosphere.

Vibe: It is a classic Buenos Aires "corner café," known for being a friendly meeting place due to its strategic location (it sits right above the Pueyrredón station of the D Line subway).

The Menu: It offers everything from the typical coffee with medialunas (croissants) to "minutas" (quick meals), pizzas, and sandwiches. It is an ideal spot for reading or waiting for someone, as it usually stays open 24 hours (or very late).

Reputation: Users often mention the warmth of the waiters, many of whom have worked there for decades. One review from a specialized site describes it as "a meeting point in a hurry... a typical porteño pizzeria and café with a mixed crowd."

Interesting Fact: The nearby subway station (Santa Fe - Carlos Jáuregui) is named after a famous Argentine LGBT activist, which reflects the inclusive identity of this specific neighborhood.
