What a gem! Came here serendipitously and was blown away. The “café exótico” is just delicious and very well made and the gift shop is pretty good, especially if you like the little bull statues Peruvians have on top of their houses, which supposedly originated in Pukara

Delicious coffee and really good sandwiches. I definitely recommend coming here for your coffee and souvenirs and not the other store near the museum.

Best lunch we've had in Peru by a longshot. The marinated chicken with the local cheese is a delicious combination. Would drive hours out of the way just for this place's sanwiches and coffee again. Friendly service, and on top of that, it wasn't expensive at all.
