Found this gem by accident and then I came here two days in a row; I tried the matcha latte with oat milk, along with the cinnamon roll, brownies, and focaccia. Everything was incredible – truly the best brownies and cinnamon roll we’ve ever had, no exaggeration. The atmosphere is also super cozy and chill – spacious enough to feel comfortable, whether you want to work quietly or just sit and have a nice conversation. The barista is skilled, friendly, and speaks English very well, which made everything even easier for a tourist like me! I’ll definitely come back next time to try the coffee too :)

LOVE this cafe! I've been living in the Retiro area for about 6 and was stoked to stumble upon Unforgiven. The owner and staff are fantastic and friendly. The coffee is top quality and the space is minimal and cool. I have become a regular here now. Great vibes and great coffee.

I’d heard good things about Unforgiven and finally made the time to check it out, and yeah, it totally lived up to the hype. The space is quiet and minimal, and it reminded me of the spacious cafes in Seoul. Clean lines, soft light, and built-in art on the walls to keep it from feeling too serious. Had a really nice talk about coffee together with the bartender, and its just good vibes overall. The coffee was good, recipe intentional and brought out the flavors nicely . It’s not a flashy place, but it doesn’t need to be. If you care about coffee, this one’s worth seeking out.
