D'Sala Café

D'Sala describes itself as a coffee shop, roastery and laboratory, and this Gonzáles Prada branch is the one that carries the full name: the roasting happens here. The menu is a long breakfast —croissants, focaccia, house biscuits, pizzas— with a keto and gluten-free line that is unusual in Lima, and the coffee holds it all up. The brand sits at number 49 in South America's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2026. Our read: it is a morning, laptop-friendly place; it opens at 7 and reviewers agree that service slows down once it fills. Mind the branch: the one on Calle Los Libertadores in San Isidro is listed as temporarily closed on Google, and the Avenida Dos de Mayo one has closed for good.
