Keeping the flame burning for good machine coffee and tantalizing cakes in Oxapampa is this 2nd-floor plaza-fronting gem. It serves simple, tasty lunches like yucca with scrambled eggs and homemade chorizo, and whilst you wait for the grub you can people-watch from the balcony or survey the many photographs interestingly and sometimes hilariously charting the town's recent past.
