My partner and I are true coffee lovers, and during our time exploring Cusco, we stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop and instantly fell in love. This cozy spot is owned by a lovely couple, and every detail reflects their care and passion. All the coffee options are hand-crafted with love, and we were warmly welcomed and served by the owner himself, always with a big smile. The quality of the coffee was exceptional, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. A must-visit if you’re in Cusco and appreciate a truly heartfelt coffee experience.

Amazing little coffee shop. Both owners who work there are super nice and kind people. They gave us many advices about the coffee scene in Peru and local coffees. Their coffee is roasted by one of the 100 best cafes in the world (also located in Cusco). Highly recommended!

super cute coffee just 10 minutes walking from the hustle and bustle. the iced salted caramel latte was amazing and the specialty coffee hit the spot! the banoffe was so good there was no time to take a photo. definitely coming back to try their brazilian cheese breads (which looked super good, but we came straight from lunch). definitely recommend

The location is nicely quiet. I had Salted Caramel latte. At first sip was a bit surprised by saltiness. But, I love the saltiness and caramel combination. Milk foam kept until bottom of the cup. And the omelet. So Good. It has plain flavor. Leek, Cheese and Tomato. Omelet made me remember what tasty is. Big thanks to the cafe buscando nombre. I can keep going.
