Review Summary
The full review for Agora Café
Let’s suppose that you’ve decided to hop on one of those city tour buses that loads up next to Parque Kennedy in Miraflores and want a good cup of coffee and some scrambled eggs before you start that adventure.
You have a couple of choices. I’ve done them both on several occasions. You could try the scrambled egg sandwich at La Lucha with a paper cup of coffee from who knows where. Not a bad choice. But if a nice cup of coffee in a fat ceramic coffee cup and eggs served on a plate, not in a basket, sounds more appetizing, then Agora Café is the logical choice.
It’s located right out in front of that tour bus loading zone, facing the plaza.
It’s a specialty coffee shop with single-origin, organic coffee. Good baristas. Good latte art baristartistas too. My cup had an impressive swan looking back at me as I stared into the delicate, velvety foam at the top of my cappuccino.
The food is pretty basic, but it’s acceptable. I had some scrambled eggs and toast with some packaged butter served on the side.
On the display below the counter, they had some very big empanadas and a Nutella pie that looked inviting. As did the lemon pie crowned with a mountain of merengue.
The ambiance is a bit kitschy, the sort of thing Bob Marley fans really love, which of course means it’s totally un-hip and unpretentious.
Prices for espresso / ristretto shots, at US$1.50 (SOL$5) were the least expensive among the specialty cafés we reviewed.
Chances are you’ll like this place with it’s good coffee, acceptable food and great location.
