Jc's Cafe Cusco

This is my favorite place to eat in Cusco. Amazing food and service, we went here three times and there wasn’t anything we didn’t love. The quesadillas are top notch, some of the best beans I’ve ever had. Literally the best ceasar I’ve ever had and I eat quite a lot of ceasar salad. The milkshakes and burgers are also amazing. Super friendly staff and quick service. Would give it above 5 stars if I could.

JC’s was our favorite cafe & we came back over and over & brought all our friends here on our travels. The food and service was amazing and they ladies working the shop were so comforting and sweet souls! Couldn’t recommend more!!!

Cool place, fair prices. Not so touristic. We had dinner Here. Can recommend lomo and vegetarian Bürger. If you are searching for a decent place near the City Center, you have found it.

Can’t rate this highly enough. The coffee is really good. I also ordered a tea and you get a large pot that fills 2/3 cups. We came here twice to eat and were not disappointed. The portion sizes are large and the food was very good. The hash browns on the breakfast are actually little potato cubes but they were so so tasty, would recommend.

We were so happy with our discovery of JC's Cafe. The prices are super reasonable and the food was excellent. We have some dietary restrictions that they were able to work around no problem, we had the chicken tortilla and the chicken soup, each were 25 sol or less. Even the tea was excellent, it was a lemon ginger tea with a great ginger kick for only 8 sol for a whole pot and our server even pre warmed the cups. There is free high speed (gigabit) wifi and power outlets at every table for charging your devices. The service was warm and friendly, and even little things like the cups and bowls were beautiful and charming. Such a gem of a find only 4 blocks from the plaza de armas. We will be back for sure.

Great little cafe! Visited a couple of times already and will probably go back again when in Cusco. The service is lovely, food delicious and the place cozy. Vegan options available (ask the toasts to be made without butter) as well as soy milk for coffee.

Get the Huevos Rancheros. Trust Me. This is where I landed every morning in Cusco. Not by accident. Not just because it’s walkable or popular with gringos. Because the coffee is strong, the food hits exactly where it should, and because JC’s Café felt like a tiny corner of calm before diving back into the altitude and the chaos. Yeah, you’ll hear more English than Spanish inside. That is acceptable, this time.... The huevos rancheros here are worth breaking any rule of local-only dining. Two perfectly poached eggs resting on a tortilla blanketed in smoky, rich beans that tasted like they’d been simmering since sunrise. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you slow down and pay attention. I couldn’t even finish mine. That’s how much they give you. But it didn’t stop me from coming back the next day. And the one after that. If you’re in Cusco and looking for your breakfast spot, this is it. Get the huevos rancheros. Trust me.

Be ready for big portion. Chicken soup was 1liter, tortilla with chicken was gorgeous and enormous portion. This combo can easily feed two people, but I made it, even though it took me 45 minutes to finish. We also had lasagne that we unfortunately couldn’t finish, too much food. Great taste, flavorful and colorful dishes. Peruvians know how to cook. JC’s is a great spot to feed your tummy. Thank you.
