In recent years, Magdalena del Mar has ceased to be just a traditional district to become the epicenter for lovers of huariques and, of course, specialty coffee in Lima. Behind its main avenues, a circuit of neighborhood coffee shops has flourished with proposals that pay tribute to the national bean, promoting traceability, artisanal extraction methods, and direct trade with producers.

On the occasion of Peruvian Coffee Day, the Magdalena Coffee Route is a fresh and welcoming alternative to celebrate the country’s coffee richness in six unmissable stops:
Rosal Café
Address: Jr. Tacna 942
Inspired by the mystique of the central jungle, Rosal Café transports visitors to a warm and rustic environment where the origin of Villa Rica is the absolute protagonist. Its espressos and filtered coffees stand out for their sweet and floral notes, the result of rigorous selection work on the farm. The recommended choice is a V60 filter coffee, accompanied by their house-made artisanal pastries.

Quiro Café
Address: Jr. Tacna 614
Quiro Café has positioned itself as a fundamental meeting point for the district’s coffee community. Beyond serving an excellent cup, this space focuses on educating the consumer: they organize tastings, interactive workshops, and promote the diversity of coffee microclimates from regions like Cusco, Cajamarca, and Junín. The recommended choice is a creamy flat white balanced with medium roast espresso, or a cold brew infused cold for hot afternoons in the middle of winter.
