Following a Harry Potter-themed bar opening in Toronto last summer, an Argentinian cafe is also dedicated to the boy who lived. Named for the liquid luck potion, Felix Felicis & Co. Coffee is located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo.
There are many nods to the magic universe created by JK Rowling within the Argentinian cafe, including Ministry of Magic stickers on the toilets and an owl logo. In the future, Felix Felicis & Co. Coffee plan on adding Harry Potter-inspired murals and a library to encourage a love of reading (including the magical series and beyond) in its patrons.
The name of the coffee shop has a double meaning as the owner's son is also named Felix.
