Specialty coffee cafés in Lima

Villa Rica, Chanchamayo and Cusco on the bag

Two Peruvian coffees carry a legal denomination of origin from Indecopi, the state's intellectual property office. Café Villa Rica, approved in 2010, covers arabica from the district of that name in Oxapampa province, Pasco. Café Machu Picchu-Huadquiña covers beans from the Huadquiña hamlet in Santa Teresa, Cusco, where nearby snow peaks slow the ripening of the cherries.⁴

Villa Rica's farms sit at 1,200 to 1,800 m. Chanchamayo and Satipo, in Junín, belong to the same selva central (central jungle), and growers from all three provinces sold their coffee at the free Expo Selva Central on downtown Lima's Plaza Alameda 28 de Julio in June 2025.⁵

Cajamarca, in the north, turns up as well. In October 2026 a Lima supermarket's online shop sold a Cajamarca espresso roast beside Cusco lots labeled with the grower's name, Susana Rojas or Ambrosio Pastor.⁶

Roasters that brew what they roast

Milimétrica Coffee Co, at Calle Alcanfores 215 in Miraflores, says Cajamarca is where it has found the best coffees it offers. In October 2026 its Supernova filter blend came from Shumbana in Santa Rosa, Jaén, and its Frequency espresso blend from El Huabo in San Ignacio, both washed Caturra, Pache and Bourbon grown at 1,600–1,800 m; each cost S/ 40.00 for 250 g.⁷

Violet Roastery Lab, on Avenida San Luis in San Borja, works with producers and microlots from Cusco, Amazonas, Junín, Huánuco and Cajamarca. It runs physical and sensory analysis on every lot and sells coffee graded from 83 points, with its most distinctive profiles scoring 87 to 91.⁹

Farther west, Puka Specialty Coffee is on Jirón Leoncio Prado 476 in Pueblo Libre.

What Peruvian beans cost in 2026

Coffee became markedly dearer in Lima during 2025. Overall consumer prices rose 1.51% that year, while the coffee, tea and cocoa group climbed 11.3%, led by ground roasted coffee at 27.6%; hot drinks served in restaurants and similar places went up 2.9%.⁸

Shelf prices in October 2026 show the spread. A 250 g bag of ground Villa Rica blend from a Lima roaster cost S/ 43.70, Runakuna's Villa Rica beans S/ 40.00, its Cajamarca espresso S/ 38.00 and each Cusco single-grower lot S/ 40.00, while a 1 kg bag of Runakuna espresso beans was S/ 95.00.⁶

Where to drink it, and when

Calle Alcanfores carries much of Miraflores' specialty coffee, with Ursa Coffee Roasters at number 199 and Milimétrica Coffee Co at 215; Milimétrica opens Monday to Saturday 07:30–20:00 and Sunday 09:00–16:00. Arabica Espresso Bar keeps the longest hours, Monday to Saturday 08:00–22:00, but opens only at 14:00 on Sundays.

In Barranco, Tostaduría Bisetti is on Avenida Pedro de Osma, and Tostadora, on Jirón Domeyer, works evenings only.
