Events at this location

Tucked into Las Mercedes—one of Asunción’s most walkable, culture-rich barrios—Alzati is half indie-bookstore, half specialty-coffee bar, and 100 percent creative hideaway. Floor-to-ceiling shelves, rotating art, and an eclectic events calendar (think DJ sets, stand-up comedy, or a surprise book launch) give the space a lively, bohemian pulse; yet on quieter afternoons you can still settle in with a latte and lose yourself in a page-turner or a Slack sprint. Workspace vibe: free Wi-Fi, a mix of air-conditioned nooks and breezy patio tables. Outlets are limited, so claim one early. Menu highlights: velvety espresso, chocolate croissants, Paraguayan mbejú, and all-day brunch plates (₲40 000–100 000 / roughly $5–12). Most dishes arrive fast; ask for your coffee “bien caliente” if you like it piping hot. Community perks: shelves stocked with Spanish and English titles you can buy, plus board games for low-key hangs. Follow @alzati.libros for pop-up events; hours can shift around gigs, so double-check their stories before heading over. Good to know: seating is cozy and fills up on weekends, and the free parking lot hits capacity quickly—rideshares or a short walk from Av. España are easier. Digital-nomad tip: mid-week mornings (before noon) are the sweet spot for quiet work sessions; evenings amp up with music and mingle-friendly energy. Whether you’re chasing deadlines, new reads, or new friends, Alzati delivers a shot of culture with every espresso.
