HB Coffee Shop sits quietly inside the British Hospital on Av. Italia, creating a calm and accessible spot for those navigating a busy day of appointments or work nearby. Its small but thoughtfully arranged space includes an outdoor deck wrapped in plants—a practical and inviting feature, especially appealing during warmer months or when a little fresh air feels essential.

The café stands out for offering more than just standard coffee options. Beyond a solid cup of coffee, you’ll find appealing choices like almond milk lattes and a menu considerate of dietary needs, including gluten-free options. This attention to different preferences makes it a convenient pause for hospital visitors, staff, and locals who might need a quiet break without fuss.

Food-wise, the kitchen serves up reliably tasty dishes with highlights such as the lemon tartlet, chicken burritos, and salmon baguettes. Portions tend to be generous, with the menu catering mainly to those looking for lunch or a midday snack. The postre (dessert) display is particularly well stocked, creating an easy temptation for a sweet finish.

The atmosphere is intimate, with a compact interior that feels neat and welcoming rather than crowded. Given the hospital setting, there’s a sense of calm efficiency—service is friendly and attentive but tuned to the needs of people who might be on a schedule or simply needing a quiet moment.

Locals and regulars tend to appreciate HB Coffee Shop as a practical spot for light meals or coffee breaks, especially during weekdays. The outside deck offers a bit of relief from the indoor clinical environment, making it a nice choice on sunny days when you want to stretch your legs. This café fits well in the context of its neighborhood as a place for simple, comforting food and drink—no rush, no pretense, just a steady spot where the routine blends nicely with a bit of care for what’s on the plate and in the cup.

Comí uno de los platos del menú del día y me encantó! Bien servido, comida muy rica y sabrosa a pesar de que se nota que no tiene sal. El lugar es muy pequeño, pero muy lindo y acogedor. La vitrina de los postres está muy buen surtida y es muy tentadora. Para estas épocas de pandemia es muy recomendable el deck del exterior que está rodeado de plantas.
