Puku Puku Café Larco — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

When planning my trip to Lima, I wanted to look into the new coffee scene I had heard was emerging there and this cafe came as a great recommendation.

5 stars because the coffee is exceptional and is among the top 5 in all of Lima. 1 star to the barista this morning, who is the barista nearly every morning, who is very, very rude.
