Lima, Peru is a top foodie destination, and it’s fortunately located in a continent – and a country – known for growing high quality coffee.  Google “Best Coffee Shops in Lima” and you’ll find a lot of cozy spots where you can get a perfectly decent cup of brew, but what we were most excited about was the blossoming specialty & third wave coffee scene in Lima.

We visited a ton of amazing third wave coffee shops in Lima and were pleased to find that every single one of them was proudly brewing only locally grown Peruvian coffee beans!

Our list of the best specialty & third wave coffee shops in Lima, Peru is a labor of love (and many very jittery afternoons).

What is Specialty/Third Wave Coffee?

Before we dive in, here’s a quick primer on Third Wave coffee. Born in Portland, Oregon and coined in 2002, the Third Wave Coffee movement is the latest iteration of coffee brewing. You may also hear it referred to as specialty coffee or craft coffee.

Focusing on high quality, small-batch coffee, specialty coffee is everything that Starbucks isn’t, and the difference in quality is easy to taste. Personally I never liked the bitter, burnt taste of coffee until I drank my first cup of single-origin light roast heaven.  If you’ve ever wondered how anyone can drink their coffee black, this is your answer.

San Francisco is rich with amazing third wave coffee, and we are full blown  Bay Area third wave coffee snobs (we’ve also got a guide to the best San Francisco specialty coffee shops, if you’re curious). Coffee to us is what wine is to… well, people who know a lot more about wine than we do.

But you don’t have to be a third wave coffee snob to find, appreciate, and enjoy a delicious cup of specialty coffee at a great coffee shop! Here are some tips for finding a third wave coffee shop near you.

When identifying a third wave coffee shop, know what to look for:

  1. Single Origin Beans: Coffee beans should be sourced from one country, region, and/or farm. No blends! Each bean variety responds best to different roasting and brew treatments, so mixing beans means losing the ability to let each unique bean shine.
  2. High Quality Beans: The best of the best from the crop. Each coffee farm will harvest and sell both cheaper, imperfect beans and a top-quality crop. A third wave coffee shop only buys the best quality beans. (Yes, this means you will pay more for your cup of coffee!)
  3. Each cup is hand crafted to order. No giant vats of drip coffee here. Each cup of coffee is hand crafted precisely for you, from a freshly ground bean to your preferred brewing method. Some of the unique brewing methods you’ll find at third wave coffee shops include V60, Chemex, Clever, Aeropress, Siphon, and Cold Brew. Each brewing method brings out different flavors for different beans, and many third wave coffee shops offer a variety of roasts and beans to best match its featured brewing methods. If you prefer espresso drinks, you’ll also find that latte art is a good indicator of a third wave coffee shop.

Now that you know what to look for, check out these incredible third wave coffee shops in Lima, Peru and get your hands on a delicious ristretto or an aromatic pourover!

Aromia

  • Aromia Coffee Shop is as elegant and refined as its coffee: from the melt-in-your-mouth butter cookie that came with our espressos, to the minimalist aesthetic and baked good selection, Aromia is picture perfect. However, the real star at Aromia is its incredible espresso. Unlike most of the espresso drinks we’ve had in South America, the sweet milk in our ristretto and cortado perfectly balanced the expertly pulled espresso without overwhelming it. In addition to espresso, Aromia offers a wide variety of third wave brewing methods, including Chemex, V60, Aeropress, and Siphon.

Movement Surf + Cafe

  • Outfitted with a couch and several surfboards, Movement Surf + Cafe felt more like a relaxed hang-out than a third wave coffee shop, but its cold brew, pour-over, and cappuccino were all on point. A huge bonus for this cafe is that it has excellent food in addition to its coffee: we ordered a fantastic Movement panini and a rich, luscious piece of chocolate cake. Had it been a little later in the afternoon, we might have topped things off with a craft beer: Movement has a whole fridge stocked with intriguing local craft brews.

Cafe Verde

  • Cafe Verde doesn’t have the aesthetic appeal of Aromia or the hangout vibe of Movement Surf Cafe, but it does have excellent in-house roasted coffee. Cafe Verde’s roaster occupies a whole room in the bright green shop. Our drip coffee was an impressively aromatic dark roast: it was rich and deep without that burnt bitterness that is common among imperfectly brewed dark roasts. Cafe Verde is the perfect spot for an unpretentious cup of finely brewed earthy black coffee.

Cate Tasting Room 

  • Located on a busy street in Miraflores, we almost walked right by this nondescript coffee shop. We’re so glad we didn’t! Specializing in tea, coffee, and chocolate, Cate Tasting Room offers some of the best local Peruvian espresso we’ve ever had. Our cortado was bright and bitter, with a hint of sweetness and a spark of acid. Our server explained the origin and location of each of our cups: our excellent espresso was from Cusco. Cate Tasting Room serves up Clever, v60, Aeropress, and French Press as well as an entire selection of drinking chocolate; we recommend the espresso.

Puku Puku Cafe

  • A block away from the sprawling handicraft markets in Lima sits 1 of the 3 locations of Puku Puku Cafe, a laid back coffee shop with a cozy patio looking out over a gorgeous old colonial home. Our espresso was bold and dark, but our Chemex was bright and acidic. We weren’t surprised to learn that Puku Puku hosts a barista class for third wave coffee shops in Lima. With a large selection of local artisan beers, Puku Puku also makes a great post-shopping wind-down spot.  BTW, huge shout-out to Puku Puku’s Tiramisu cupcake: it was the best cupcake by far we’ve had on our entire 4-month South America trip!

They proudly brew their espresso on La Marzocco espresso machine hand crafted in Florence, Italy, and the attention to quality shows. True Artisan Cafe also sells fantastic quiche, sandwiches, and pastries.

Our Top Travel Tips & Resources

Here are our favorite travel tips & resources for saving money and planning travel logistics! For more tips, check out our travel tips resource page or our guide to planning a trip.
  • Booking Flights: To score flight deals, search on Google Flights or Kayak. Money-saving tips: fly mid-week or on the weekend; fly carry-on only on a budget airline; and take red-eyes or early morning flights.
  • Accommodations: We usually stay in budget-friendly vacation rentals, boutique hotels or private rooms in hostels. We use Booking.com to book hotels (we love their flexible cancellation policy) and Hostelworld to book hostels (low deposit, easy change/cancellation, and excellent reviews). For vacation rentals, we prefer to book using VRBO because they've got lower fees and better support than Airbnb, and we're not fans of Airbnb's unethical track record. You can also book vacation rentals on Expedia and Hotels.com. We also use TrustedHousesitters as both hosts (for our home and our fur-child) and travelers!
  • Travel Insurance: We always, always, ALWAYS buy travel insurance for international trips, and we STRONGLY suggest it - visit our Travel Insurance Guide to find out why. We recommend either World Nomads or SafetyWing for international travel insurance. SafetyWing is one of the few policies that covers Covid-19, and they have excellent monthly policies that are perfect for Digital Nomads and long term travelers!
  • Travel Credit Card: We book all of our trips on our favorite travel credit card. Not only do we earn cash back that we can spend on more travel, but the card offers fantastic travel perks like travel insurance, trip delay and cancellation coverage, lost baggage reimbursement, and rental car coverage, which helps protect us on our travels. Learn more here.
  • Vaccines & Meds: We use the travel guides on the CDC website to research recommended medications and vaccines for international trips. We always recommend getting every vaccine recommended by the CDC! You can get them at your primary care doctor's office or a walk-in pharmacy.
  • Tours: We love booking guided tours, especially food tours and walking tours, to get a local's perspective and a history lesson while sight-seeing! We book our tours using Viator and GetYourGuide.
  • Transportation: We use Rome2Rio to figure out how to get from place to place, and book local transportation online using Bookaway wherever we can. When we book a rental car, we use Kayak to compare rental companies and find the best deal.
  • Luggage Storage: Whenever we're checking out early or taking advantage of a long layover, we use LuggageHero to safely store our luggage while we're running around. Use the code PRACTICALW for 2 hours of free luggage storage on us.
  • VPN Service: A VPN keeps your digital information (like website login details, bank info, etc) safe, even when you're connected to an unsecured network while traveling. Plus, it lets you use Netflix & other streaming sites abroad! We use NordVPN. Use the code WANDERLUSTPROMO when you sign up!
  • What to Pack: Here are the travel essentials that we bring on every trip. We also have packing lists for hot weather, cold weather, and many more. Take a look at all of our packing guides!

    Those are all great cafes, ones that my coffee loving friends go to regularly!
    If someone is looking for something more off the beaten path, they might try Martin’s (he has a green sign) in Mercado Magdelena (plus you get to experience an authentic South American market, always a plus!). Not only can you buy an excellent cup of coffee (or frozen hot chocolate, in my case), you can also buy coffee from all over Peru to take back with you! He’ll bag it and seal it on the spot, and even grind it for you if you ask. It’s where a lot of expats go to get coffee to take home to friends and family.

    Great article! I’m headed to Lima on Monday, so I’ll be sure to check out your recommendations. You are the second person this week to recommend Puka Puka, and the first was a total coffee snob, so I’m definitely headed there. The detailed explanation on third wave coffee shops is very informative. I’ve never heard that term before. I did a coffee tour in Colombia recently called WakeCup Coffee Tour and I met two farmers who grow specialty coffees. It’s a really great tour. If you go to Colombia, it is THE coffee tour to take. You can read about it on my blog, if you like. Thanks again for the great post!

      We are total coffee snobs too, so now you definitely need to go 😉 We took a wonderful coffee farm tour here in Colombia at Finca el Ocaso in Salento, which is in the coffee region of Colombia. But that tour sounds really interesting. Thank you for your recommendation!

    Great post, but I’ve found a relatively new coffee shop that tops most of these called Colonia & Co in Barranco. They have a slayer espresso machine and pull the best shot of espresso I’ve had in South America! Great vibe with a small bakery and small ice cream shop sharing the same building.

        Peru is apparently the worlds fastest growing country, and with that, Lima has a fast developing coffee culture. It’s no surprise, given the easy access to their coffee production. It really is growing very rapidly. I tend to visit Peru every couple of years so ive noticed the development in standards of coffee and cafes and attention to detail and service. I highly recommend Origen Tostaduras. They do espresso, aeropress, v60, iced coffee aeropress, french press, moka pot, pisco coffee sours, chilcano con cafe. the espresso is a single origin blend of washed and honey process from San Martin in the Amazonas region.
