Practical Guide

Google Maps gets it almost right.

The pin is in the right neighborhood, but it lands on the building’s outline rather than the exact spot inside where Treverete actually lives. If you’re used to walking up to a storefront, this is the part that confuses people.

The address you actually need

Treverete is inside Edificio Bacatá (also called BD Bacatá) at:

Address

Calle 19 #5-30 · Edificio Bacatá, Planta Baja · Bogotá D.C., Colombia

This is the same address as Café Quindío, Crepes & Waffles, and Carulla — all four are tenants on the ground-floor commercial strip of the building. The building itself is impossible to miss: it’s the tallest tower in Colombia, two slim glass-and-stone twins that rise above the rest of central Bogotá’s skyline.

From outside the building

The main pedestrian entrance to the commercial level faces Calle 19. Once you’re on the sidewalk in front of Bacatá, you should be able to see Café Quindío’s signage clearly — their floral wall makes them visible from the street. Crepes & Waffles is at the other end of the same strip, with their familiar logo.

Treverete is between them. The signage is smaller. There is no large floral wall, no big chain logo, no flashing display board. It’s the quiet front in a row of louder neighbors.


The walking sequence

  1. Walk up to Edificio Bacatá on Calle 19. Look for the twin glass towers. The commercial entrance is at street level.
  2. Once on the ground floor, orient by Café Quindío. Their floral wall is the most obvious visual landmark on the strip.
  3. Walk past Café Quindío. The next storefront is Treverete. If you reach Crepes & Waffles, you’ve gone slightly too far — turn around.
  4. Carulla is the deepest into the strip. If you see the supermarket entrance, you’ve overshot.

The order along the strip

Roughly (left to right as you face the strip from the main entrance):

Note: the exact arrangement can vary slightly — tenants reshuffle and new openings happen. If you walk past Café Quindío and don’t immediately see Treverete, ask any of the building security guards. They’ll point you.


Getting to Edificio Bacatá

By TransMilenio (Bogotá’s BRT)

The nearest TransMilenio stations are Las Aguas and Universidades on the central trunk line. From either, it’s a 5–10 minute walk. The Bacatá tower is visible from blocks away — just walk toward the tallest thing.

By Uber / taxi / Cabify / DiDi

Tell the driver “Edificio Bacatá, Calle 19 con Carrera 5.” They’ll know it. Drop-off in front of the Calle 19 entrance.

Parking

Edificio Bacatá has paid parking. The entrance is on the side — signed from Calle 19. Rates are typical Bogotá-center rates (charged hourly). For a coffee visit, parking is rarely worth the hassle — arrive on foot or by app-based ride.
