La Mora Patisserie & Café — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

This place is super cute and well decorated. That was what attracted me to it in the first place - the aesthetics. It seems they have quite a variety of cakes and pastries and I haven’t tried those yet so can’t rate that side of the menu.

We stopped for breakfast. I got the Belgian breakfast with Belgium waffles and scrambled eggs and my partner the scrambled egg breakfast. My request to substitute bacon for cheese or potatoes was “not possible” (I don’t eat pork) and I asked the waiter specifically if the maple syrup was real and he said “yes”. As an American, I know the difference and it definitely was a sugar syrup with maple flavoring when it arrived. My coffee didn’t arrive until halfway through my finishing breakfast and the eggs were definitely over salted. My partner‘s breakfast was just acceptable - although they didn’t send any butter with the bread, which seems like a basic thing.

It’s too bad because they really could be a high-end café offering these basic things and high quality with small adjustments for a very little cost to them. This would attract more of an international crowd. It seems that in Peru the general public just accepts when they have poor service or poor quality food delivered, and don’t complain. I didn’t complain, but I use this platform for my reviews as a way to speak clearly about inconveniences, poor quality, and ways to improve service for clientele. Let’s see how La Mora Cafe responds and if they decide to shift any of their quality of service or...

Sadly, at the entrance we were treated with so much disrespect, like we were not welcome (in April 2022). I have just discovered that this is because owners are racists, and therefore, I guess, staff behaves consequently. I'm sorry we were not white people, but to avoid these inconveniences you should hang a sign at your entrance, like nazis were used to do. Otherwise, teach your staff to treat gently every customer, even though they are not your typical customer. There were several tables available and we were stopped at the door, invited to wait outside, with very little courtesy. Totally nonsense.

We decided to go to the next coffee shop, and it happened to be an awesome palestinian place with tasty drinks and food (Beduino King). Thank you for giving us the chance to get a better service...

The place is cozy but when it gets busy, table service may take a while. Servers are polite and ok though.

It's not overpriced but it's not cheap either. At least, from what I tried, the size of the meals was fair.

I had a prosciutto and pesto sandwich and I liked it. They should have said that it was going to be hot though. Sometimes I prefer those sandwiches kinda cold, so that's why they should warn you. It was ok nonetheless.

I also had a berries juice and while it wasn't bad, it tasted like old people or so. I don't mean that as a bad thing, some people like that. I'm not the greatest fan I guess.

They don't offer parking so either you are lucky and find a spot nearby or walk from the closest...
