Oso Café is one of the coolest café spaces in Arequipa, set around a sunny courtyard with a modern, welcoming vibe. We ended up here after a recommendation from Santiago (the owner of Isidro Comedor), and he was spot on. This place definitely passed the vibe check.

The coffee is excellent, the menu is creative, and the setting is perfect for hanging out with friends or relaxing for a few hours. It’s equal parts hip and comfortable, making it easy to see why it’s a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

Pro Tip: Grab a table in the courtyard on a sunny day — it’s the best seat in the house.
