Amazing cafe in Lima! My friend is gluten free (celiac) and the menu has GF and vegan markers. The staff was super helpful and friendly as well and let us know we could modify anything on the menu with house made gluten free bread! They also make almond and oat milk in house. We got the croissant with avocado and egg and the pistachio pancakes. Both were amazing!! Recommend if you are gluten free, vegan, or just want a delicious brunch like me!

The experience from the moment you enter is super nice, the entire staff is super friendly and attentive. When we went there were a lot of people and we were on the wait list for about 15 minutes, but it was totally worth it. Their menu has a wide variety of sugar-free and gluten-free foods. They even changed the crispy chicken sandwich to grilled chicken. The drinks are incredible, and especially the lemon pie dessert, which is 100/10. I was absolutely delighted with the place and the products they offer. I highly recommend it and would return a thousand times.
