PETITE | The Pastry & Co - San Borja

It sits at Jr. Paseo del Bosque 549 in San Borja and is the original home of Petite, which also has a shop in Barranco. The brand describes itself as all-day brunch, homemade desserts and specialty coffee, and its website groups the offer into cakes, sweets, whole moulds, loaf cakes, cookies and sweet and savoury bites. Google rates it 4.8 across more than 1,700 reviews. Our take: a neighbourhood pastry shop built to be a meeting spot, better for a long coffee with cake or an unhurried brunch than for a full meal. It opens 8:00 to 21:00 every day according to its Instagram and Google, and also sells takeaway and delivery through its website. Curator's note: the official website lists a 10:00 opening; we loaded the 8:00 hours published on the house's Instagram and its Google listing.
