My favorite coffee shop was one we found in Curuguaty, which didn't have any signage beyond a friendly 'Bienvenidos'. It wasn't until we were inside admiring the lampshades made of old copper tea kettles and ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the delicious pastries that we realized what we had stumbled upon.

The owner, Graciela, was incredibly friendly. She was asking about where we were from and wanted us to tell everyone what a great place Paraguay is. She let me keep one of the books lining her shelves, which was about Paraguayan folklore. I was delighted, and even more so when I realized that it had sheet music in the back! We stopped in three days in a row, and enjoyed having her breakfast much more than the offerings back at the hotel.
