Cercanía Pay y Café became our go-to café in Cusco. We went several times a week! The coffee is excellent, but what kept us coming back were the incredible sandwiches and desserts. The focaccia mixta sandwich is one of the best lunches we had in the city, and their pecan pie is absolutely worth saving room for.

The vibe is warm and welcoming, with just the right amount of bustle to make it feel alive. It’s the kind of place you’ll quickly add into your Cusco routine.

Pro Tip: Go for lunch - it’s one of the few cafés where the food is as good as the coffee.
