This is a budget-friendly option with very reasonable prices ($ range). The cafe accepts cash and cards, but carry some soles for small purchases, and the healthy menu caters well to dietary restrictions and picky eaters.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round. Lima's mild coastal climate means indoor play is comfortable any time of year, though the cafe provides a nice respite during the cooler, foggy winter months (June-September) when outdoor playgrounds may be damp.
