In the midst of the era of instant messages and voice notes, the first postal café in Argentina has just opened in Buenos Aires, where in addition to drinking specialty coffee you can sit down and write a letter by hand, as it was done in the past, put a wax seal on it and leave it ready to send to whomever you want.
Buenos Aires has the First Postal Café in Argentina: Write a letter, put a wax seal on it and send it while you drink a good coffee.
The first postal café in Argentina is in Buenos Aires, specifically in Recoleta. It’s called Postdata Café and it proposes you to relive the whole ritual of sending a letter by traditional mail (bye-bye email and Whatsapp): besides having a great snack or a delicious coffee you will find paper, envelope, bronze stamp and even wax seal that you heat and seal yourself. Here sending letters by mail is not a game or a symbolic experience: letters are sent and received for real, anywhere in the country.
Specialty coffee, real letters and a ritual that almost does not exist anymore in the first postal café in Buenos Aires.
Posdata Café Postal is a project created by an entrepreneur who decided to bring back something that was being forgotten: the art of letter writing. In addition to the postal ritual, you will enjoy everything a specialty coffee shop has to offer: sweet and savory options ideal to accompany the moment.
Among the menu offerings are flat whites, teas, cookies, croissants, scones and more substantial options such as toasts and tostones. They also have 90 post office boxes to which you can subscribe and an original savings book, where you can collect stamps that you can later exchange for coffee.
In times where everything is digital, fast and ephemeral, this coffee becomes a sensory and emotional experience: writing, thinking, waiting and reconnecting with oneself and with others. It is an ideal plan both for adults and to go with children and show them how the world communicated before WhatsApp.
