Origen Tostadores de Cafe

Lima


This artisan coffee shop breaks coffee-making down to a science and has all the chemistry-set-style machines to prove it. Just blocks from Museo Larco, it offers the trifecta of wi-fi, quiet spaces to work or chat and hot or iced caffeinated beverages. Various brewing techniques are used, but the pride is in the beans – Origen works directly with local producers.

There's another location on Calle Las Tiendas in Surquillo offering similar delights.
