A coffee shop that has a rocket Giotto, state of the art mazzer mini, siphon & chemex is passionate about their coffee! We ordered two lattes & even though there was no art they were delicious...& well price is on par with Starbucks but who wants Starbucks if you can have an authentic Peruvian experience with sweet, friendly staff &...

Thank you! We're honoured by your kind words. It's true, we are passionate and have invested a lot of time and research in order to be able to pull a good espresso at this altitude. It's fantastic when a fellow coffee lover appreciates it! We hope you visit us again and wish you all the best. More

I'm from an icecream loving family... Whenever we were in Italy the icecream shops would be happy :-) I have to say that the ice cream in El Hada is some of the best I've ever tasted. You can feel the great ingredients they use, and despite having quite fwe flavours to choose from, there is always something that will... More

This is some icecream! Besides ths fact that they make the most delicious helados in whole Cusco, the daily different tastes are very very special and well-chosen. Black/purple mais (mazamorra), pineapple-ginger, caramelised pear and so on. Try and let yourselves be persuaded;)

Prior to leaving the U.S. we had read that El Hada was the #1 place to shop in Cuzco, so it was definitely on our ‘to do’ list. I had also read that ice cream in Peru was very good, though most of those we found were soft serve. We had a hard time finding El Hada, and despite continuing... More

This place is completely perfect in my opinion. I'll tell you why. -Staff is incredibly friendly, smiling, and jump on the chance to answer any question you have. They are proud of their jobs, what they are selling, and their knowledge of it. -Only 8 delicious flavors are offered, assuring new varieties cycle through and the product remains fresh. -Small...

Thank you so much! We do work hard to make our little ice cream shop as nice as it can be; it is so gratifying to see our customers enjoy it! We are indeed planning on opening El Hada in Arequipa as well; we'll let you know. You may be interested to know we've moved; you can find us now... More

Artisanal and unique, you won't find another place like this in Peru! Creative flavors and a thoughtful production of ice cream. I feel so much better supporting this small business than buying generic ice cream on the street.

Thank you for your visit and your kind words! El Hada has grown now; we've changed address (you can now find us at Arequipa 167, really close to the Plaza de Armas, between Santa Catalina and Maruri). Now we offer sundaes, desserts, confections and great coffee. Hope to have you back soon! All the best, El Hada More

Though listed as a farm, this is really an artisanal ice cream shop in Cusco. The ice cream is made by the owners, using milk from cows that graze on their land. Everything is organic and homemade, from the ice cream flavors (they have about 8 flavors available daily from a rotating list of 25) to the toppings - marshmallows,... More
