Lucio Caffe

This Lucio Caffe is on the first level of Real Plaza Centro Cívico, next to Pizza Hut, according to the mall's directory; the brand, run by the Mambrino group, lists it as its Cercado de Lima location. It describes itself as a 'café with a bakery soul': sandwiches, salads, lasagna, pastries and coffee. Our take: it is a stop for coffee and something sweet inside the mall, not a destination; Google reviews for this branch are lukewarm (2.6 out of 5 from about 125 reviews), so go with chain expectations. According to Google it opens daily from 9 a.m., until 10 p.m. and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; brand reservations are handled through Meitre or at 991 785 647. Curatorial note: the Google listing is unclaimed and shows no branch phone; the phone is the brand's reservations line and the photos are brand product shots, not of this location.
