MONOTONO Specialty Coffee on Jiron Fedelli in Barranco offers a calm, intentional stop for anyone serious about coffee or just looking for a peaceful morning ritual. This café is tailored for those who appreciate Peruvian specialty beans brewed with precision—it’s the kind of place where baristas focus on extracting unique flavors rather than rushing orders. While the setting leans minimalist and modern, with a neat, uncluttered interior and a subtle techno soundtrack setting a relaxed rhythm, it never feels cold. Instead, there’s a quiet warmth from both the staff and the attention to detail, creating a welcoming environment that encourages you to slow down.

The menu keeps things simple but varied enough for different tastes; espresso lovers will find a respected lineup, including smooth cortados and expertly made cappuccinos. Matcha latte options stand out if you’re not a coffee drinker but still want something crafted with care. On the food side, fresh sandwiches complement the coffee—light and comforting enough for a gentle start to the day or a midday pause.

MONOTONO seems to attract a mix of visitors: locals who enjoy a quality brew away from busy street noise, travelers exploring Barranco’s quieter corners, and families who appreciate kid-friendly choices like hot chocolate. The staff’s English fluency means it’s accessible for non-Spanish speakers without losing its local charm. Prices lean a bit higher, reflecting the specialty nature of the ingredients and preparation.

The best time to visit is likely in the morning, when the atmosphere supports a slow, peaceful start—bring a book, catch up on work, or simply enjoy the ritual of sipping coffee that’s crafted with care. While the café doesn’t shout for attention, it quietly fits into Barranco’s creative and laid-back neighborhood vibe, offering a refined space for anyone who lives for the art of good coffee.

I’m not a coffee drinker, but when I do treat myself to coffee, this is the place I’d come to. They have many unique varieties of coffee beans . The prices are higher, as expected.

MONOTONO COFFEE was the perfect place for breakfast. I had a smooth cortado and one of their sandwiches and everything tasted fresh and comforting. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting and the staff is genuinely kind. It is the kind of spot where you can slow down and enjoy a peaceful start to the day. Highly recommend.

Monótono Specialty Coffee is a standout spot in Lima, delivering a refined coffee experience in a focused and minimalist setting. The coffee is expertly brewed Peruvian specialty varieties with distinct flavors and careful attention to detail. A focused menu of espresso and filter options, highlighting single-origin beans and seasonal varieties. Clean, modern aesthetic with techno played at a low volume; a great vibe-ideal for chatting or getting work done. Friendly and knowledgeable baristas who are passionate about their craft and happy to guide your selection. They also have a really nice workflow and the combination of the choice of stoneware cups and chic wooden trays is a winner. Reasonable prices for top-quality coffee and a thoughtfully curated environment. A must-visit for coffee lovers seeking quality, great music, and a taste of Lima’s specialty coffee scene.

Great little coffee shop in Baranco! Coffee is smooth and has great notes and their pastries were delicious. Favorite pastry during our 10 day visit was this slice of apple bread with chocolate ganache. SO GOOD and the cappuccino was perfection paired with it.

Modern concept - Great baristas - Strong coffee Monotono gets a Very modern concept and build, from the cups and presentation of plated food. Very kind and helpful baristas. Although the coffee it’s a little more bitter than I’d prefer, we got americanos and enjoyed. Make it on over!
