View details — El Pan de la CholaLima's coffee scene has grown quickly, built on beans from Peru's own growing regions. Neira Café Lab, founded by a national barista champion, and Puku Puku, which buys directly from farming communities, both run several cafés, while Origen Tostadores and the Barranco café of Tostaduría Bisetti roast their own coffee. Ask the baristas which origins are on offer and try the same coffee as an espresso and as a filter brew.
For breakfast, El Pan de la Chola on Avenida Mariscal La Mar opens at 07:00 every day and is known for its naturally fermented bread. The Museo Larco Café-Restaurant, in the museum gardens in Pueblo Libre, is a lovely place for a long lunch or Sunday brunch, and you do not need a museum ticket to eat there. Some, such as Neira's original café and Puku Puku in San Isidro, are known as good places to work, and several sell beans to take home, which make a light and useful souvenir of a trip to Peru.
