Crema's Take
“Alli Kaphiy is a Peruvian gem where Chef Karla and her sisters craft exceptional coffee drinks alongside an impressive menu of homemade food, from inventive pastries to satisfying dinner plates, all infused with genuine warmth and care. The owner's attentiveness extends from answering your call while you're across the street to creating an welcoming atmosphere where you can linger over a specialty cold brew or creative matcha drink while savoring the love poured into every plate. It's the kind of place that transforms a random discovery into an instant favorite.”

I had an open window of time this morning and called them while I was getting my car washed across the street. The owner picked up right away. I asked if they had iced teas OR green iced tea. She said yes cold pressed, and that they had flavors to add. The customer service is great, no wait time for the few times I’ve stepped in. I noticed it’s a family owned and operated business. I’ve had Sandwhiches here in the past and they’re excellent. I’m definitely enjoying my iced green tea.
Went here for a late lunch/early dinner for the first time and was supremely delighted. Chef Karla and her sisters are very welcoming, and the food is soooo goood! It's my new favorite Peruvian. The ceviche's are fresh and tasty with an incredible Tiger's milk. The sandwiches were very filling and tasty and the chicken dishes are incredible.
I was so fortunate to randomly wander into this restaurant! I spotted it from across the street at the Chevron gas station and saw that it was a Peruvian restaurant. Their menu is very extensive and I received a recommendation from Karla who happens to be the executive chef. She was so friendly and courteous! She recommended the BUTIFARRA. This sandwich was phenomenal! It was half a pound of a specially prepared pork. It was on a toasted house-made French bread with lettuce, special Ají sauce (SHMACKIN) and pickled onions. It came with a side of non-seasoned (thank you) fries. The dining area is decorated with a mural and had some salsa music playing in the background. The restaurant and restroom are super clean! I will definitely find my way back here again!
I absolutely love this place! So far everything I have tried has been amazing, from the coffee drinks to their dinner plates to their pastries! You can definitely feel the love they pour into their food, they’re all super friendly and welcoming as well, they make you feel like family. Thank you chef Karla
Super delicious item on the menu. They also had unique and tasty looking coffee. My sandwich was good and it filled me up. It was about $20 for the sandwich and fries combo, including normal, but minimal tip. Looked like a mama-n-papa type or shop with a great atmosphere of many chefs, who really love what they do and sharing traditions. I would stop by, again.
