Sitting bang-smack in the middle of Plaza de Armas, Cappuccino Cafe offers a working spot with a hell of a view. They have three tables on inside-outside balconies looking out onto the cathedral — but you may have to fight other people for it. The Wi-Fi is decent, and the food and coffee are even better (although a little more expensive than the other cafés listed here, you’re paying for that stellar view).

This cafe sits right in the center of the main square of Cusco. It has three small balconies, and if you’re lucky enough to arrive to find one empty, you can enjoy your cappuccino and eat your pie in Cusco while the sun shines on your face as you look out over the Plaza de Armas and listen to the raging sounds of traffic jams and horns honking. Personally, I find this place to be a bit overrated.

My friend recommended I try Cappuccino Cafe, which has bright blue balconies overlooking Plaza de Armas. I visited at night and was able to snag a balcony seat, where I enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate while reading a book. It’s not exactly a quiet place, as it’s located right on the main plaza, so it does get busy, but they have friendly staff, good prices, and even better views!

This cozy cafe faces the main plaza, and there are 3 tables that overlook the plaza itself. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who explained how the cafe has been in her family for generations and that the coffee comes from her family’s own coffee processing plant in the Sacred Valley of Cusco. They even have the machine they use to process coffee right inside the cafe.

There are couple of famous names like Jack’s Café_ and Cappuccino Cusco Cafe_ that are featured in many travel blogs. And then there are some traditional or boutique cafes with less tourists, but they are super cute and chill, and Cusco locals always spend time there for authentic coffee and amazing food.

Cappuccino Cafe is one of my absolute favorites in Cusco because of the incredible view!. This cafe is comfortable and spacious with wonderful natural light, reliable Wi-Fi, power outlets near many tables. There are several different spaces and rooms so you should be able to find a nice place to sit.

If you want something more local and less chef-ly, then you might want to stay on the Plaza and climb a flight of stairs above the Portal de Comercio, to Cappuccino Cafe (Portal de Comercio 141). They make a mean capuccino, as well as offering other coffee drinks, and hot chocolate, hot tea, etc.

If you are looking for great cafes or just a great brunch place to eat in Cusco, you need to check out Cappuccino Cusco. They seem to always be busy, have great teas, juices, and breakfast items. Additionally, they have one of the best views of the Cathedrals in Cusco’s Plaza de Armas.

Cappuccino Cusco Cafe – this cafe has one of the best views of Plaza de Armas, if you are lucky to score one of the balcony tables. It’s the prime spot when there’s any events happening in the square.
