Welcome to Viva Peru Cafe Bistro, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Calca, Peru, where the vibrant essence of Peruvian culture and delicious cuisine comes alive. This charming cafeteria is not just a place to grab a bite, but a delightful experience for both locals and travelers alike.

The thoughtful design offers a perfect blend of comfort and style, ideal for a casual meal or a relaxed working environment, especially for those wanting to catch up on some laptop work.

The menu at Viva Peru Cafe Bistro features an array of mouthwatering options, but it's their daily lunch specials that truly stand out. As one satisfied customer, Diane K, proclaimed, they offer a “fantastic value and delicious” selection that keeps patrons coming back for more — some even three times in four days! Let the enticing aromas lure you in as you consider dishes made with fresh local ingredients.

Be sure to indulge in their scrumptious breakfast tacos and house-made blueberry cobbler, both of which received rave reviews for their freshness and deliciousness from Hannah Ruske. If you’re a coffee aficionado, you’ll appreciate their coffee offerings; as noted by Zensi Retreat, customers hail it as “the best” in the valley, delightful enough to satisfy even the most discerning coffee lovers.

For those with a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on their enticing selection of pastries and homemade ice cream. Imagine savoring a piece of decadent cheesecake — "the best cheesecake I've ever had," according to one devoted patron. The urge to taste every dessert is palpable, as echoed by Quinn Cox, who left wanting more after just one visit.

While most customer experiences are overwhelmingly positive, it's worth noting some feedback for balance. Lana K shared her thoughts on the food’s freshness, indicating that there might be occasional inconsistencies. Nevertheless, this should not deter you from experiencing the delightful ambiance and customer service provided by the friendly staff, led by warm personalities like Cristiano, who adds a personal touch to your visit.

Fantastic atmosphere. Great seating inside or outside, beautiful flowers, nice employees. They have a fantastic daily special for lunch that is a wonderful value and delicious. Dog friendly as well. I've been three times in four days it's so good.

I wish I could've tried all of their pastries! The only downside is they are open just around lunch time. Otherwise the food was delicious and it was a cool spot to relax in the sacred valley. I would visit again to try some of the other food. They also have ice cream which seemed to be homemade. Nice garden out back to relax too. It was a comfortably spot and good prices too.

This cheese is the best cheesecake I have ever had. And believe me I have tried many… Also their coffee is the best I’ve had in the valley, coming from Australia we are a big coffee culture so I was so delighted how amazing it is here!

We had a delicious breakfast here! Cristiano was so warm and welcoming, and made us a delicious espresso and cappuccino. The breakfast tacos and blueberry cobbler were fresh and delicious. The restaurant is cozy and homey and the Adirondack chairs were so comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer and returned every day!

Super cute! Great vibes. Very clean and bright space. Perfect for working on your laptop. The food and desserts don’t seem too fresh. The quiche wasn’t heated well and came out still cold, needed some salt. The desert was a bit too sweet… the cookies are great but kinda dry. All in all, it’s worth checking out for yourself.
