Café Ñucallacta

Top choice in Cuenca


The best cafe in Cuenca. Artisan Ecuadorian coffee is roasted and the resulting brews are the main reason to stop by – along with gleaning an insight into Ecuador's coffee industry from the knowledgeable owner. But they also do nice breakfasts and cakes and the tables in this dinky, welcoming little joint fill up fast in the mornings.

These guys have a second cafe on Plaza El Otorongo.
