So excited to try this local spot! Right away, we were greeted with friendly "Good mornings" and the restaurant itself was colorfully decorated and flooded with beautiful natural light. WOW This coffee and sandwich establishment did not disappoint!All their lunch specials come with either French fries or yuca. We ordered:* The Chan-Chan- all pork chicharron sandwich on a house-made toasty French baguette. Could've easily shared this with someone else and been stuffed. It was jam packed with lots of meat, which was balanced out by the tangy marinated red onions. Really tasty combo with their special aji sauce, which did have a nice spicy kick to it. I think my favorite part was the French bread... warm, toasty, nice crunch when bit into. Yum!* The Royal- the meat on this burger was soo juicy! The over medium egg exploded onto the fries and it was heaven. Could've shared this combo and been satisfied also. The Yuca fries were so special! I've never had yuca before and it tasted like the potato wedge's cousin. Delish!* Arroz con leche- ordered my coffee over ice and it was amazing! Creamy, strong coffee taste with an horchata flavor. Definitely recommendI would 100% come back to try more of the items on their menu!

Amazing food, staff, and atmosphere at this new Peruvian café! Karla and her family have created the warmest, most welcoming addition to the neighborhood. I can already see myself becoming a regular!From their signature Butifarra to the special weekend breakfast Chicharrón, every item on their menu has been a hit since their soft opening. The espresso is as smooth as silk, the flavored drinks strike the perfect balance of sweetness.We tried the Chan Chan and Saint Agustin sandwiches, and both were absolutely delicious! The bread was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, while the meat was cooked to perfection. The yellow sauce they use is beyond delectable. Don't miss the yucca fries and French fries, they're made fresh and taste incredible.The staff were so friendly and gave great recommendations. We also tried the arroz con leche and peanut butter mocha latte, which weren't overly sweet and came beautifully presented.Highly recommend this spot for a casual meal, coffee stop, or even some work time with their free Wi-Fi.

Been meaning to try this since I saw its sign go up a few months ago! Went around 1pm on the weekend and was mostly empty with a few people coming in and out, our food and coffee came out pretty quick. The coffee was great! I had ordered a hot latte and it had a cute design on it as well. Pretty picky on espresso drinks and it was executed wonderfully.The chan-chan was amazing, the bread was soft and the meat was tender and flavorful. The fries were crispy and the sauce that came on the side was on the spicier side but I really enjoyed it. Overall great experience and will be back to try the other menu items!

Don't sleep on this place!! First off - the chef, Karla, is a gem. I met her while volunteering for a local indigenous gathering. I was so excited for the opening of her brick and mortar because the food she made for our event was always incredible. Her family also works with her so it is a very homey, loving vibe. The servers/baristas were helpful and smiling.Everything we tried here exceeded my expectations. You can really taste the quality and skill in everything. The coffee drinks really surprised me because they weren't too sweet and you could really taste the coffee along with the subtlety of the flavors. We tried the arroz con leche and the pb&j. Both were super good but I loved the pb&j because it was a unique flavor with a nice touch of peanut and fresh strawberry jam. Bufitarra was delicious. I think what sets these sandwiches apart is again the quality of the ingredients. The pork was juicy and flavorful and I don't even like pork like that. The bread is really good too. The aji sauce is good w the right amount of spice. We got the yuca fries which were nice and crispy as well. Def a shareable sandwich as it's huge.We also got the ceviche which is only sold on weekends. Bomb! Again, you can taste the quality of ingredients. The stars were the mahi mahi, mussels, octopus and calamari. So fresh and the leche de tigre was so good and very lime forward. At the end wrap up the lettuce and drink the leche! They have coffee, sandwiches, some breakfast items and burgers on weekdays. Weekends they have other specials available. Def will be back!

We had some friends who wanted to try Peruvian food, and we were amazingly blessed to have this spot be so close and accessible. When you walk in, you'll notice bright colors and artwork. You'll be greeted promptly by multiple people ready and willing to serve you. We were there just in time to grab perfectly seasoned and crafted sandwiches. We had the seasoned chicken as well as the pork sandwich with onions and traditional Peruvian aji sauce. I can't wait to go back and try some of their handcrafted beverages as well as their other sandwiches. We wish these folks great success in bringing wonderful culture to the community.

This spot opened up about a month ago and it was the biggest mistake I made not stopping by!Location is a little rough as there isn't much parking but the food was well worth it. I came in for a quick lunch meal. First impressions, very clean, interesting layout, to be honest, I thought the dining area was nice but the service area was a little clunky. Menu is on the opposite wall of the cash register. Nevertheless, we move on. I'm greeted by a lovely team filled with smiles. I take a look at the menu and make my choice, the Chan-chan sandwich and a PB&J latte. I take my food process to go eat near my office. This sandwich was epic! Pork was super succulent. Acidic onions and herbaceous toppings cut through the richness. Bread was soft, yucca was fried perfectly! And that soup is a sleeeeeeeeeper! I can eat a whole pot of it and never get sick of it. The PB&J latte wasn't my favorite but that's my fault. I'm a black coffee kind of guy. Should've just gotten an americano. Overall, food is well worth the price. During my bulking season, I plan to swing by once a week. Move over Teri House, there's a new challenger on the block!

This is a great addition to Cal Heights. My wife and I walked over from our home and picked up lunch. My hot dog was a tasty rendition with peruvian slaw on top, and the french fries were thin and crispy. My wife's chicken sandwich was even better, which I would get next time for sure.I'd love to see more on the menu, especially popular favorites like saltado or tallarin, but I'm definitely happy to have Alli Kaphiy in our neighborhood rotation.

Alli Kaphiy means "good coffee" in an indigenous language in Peru. This place is located in California Heights by Wardlow and Atlantic. While it does have coffee, I came here for their Peruvian sandwiches. I went with their butifarra, which has slow roasted pork with aji sauce, seasoned onions, and crispy french bread. The sandwich was simple, but I appreciated the tasty pork on the warm, crispy french roll. The aji sauce was addictive. The sandwich and the friendly service makes me want to try more of the menu.Apparently, if you come on the weekends, they have special Peruvian dishes that they serve. This month they serve a ceviche dish and a chicharron dish. I didn't go with a coffee (they use Lavazza coffee, so it should be solid) but I did have a really refreshing passion fruit drink. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and I'll update my review as I try more things.

Caught their grand opening week this morning! What a great addition to our Bixby Knolls neighborhood! An authentic Peruvian spot! Ordered their yummy hot PB&J latte and a Sausage Breakfast sandwich! Hubby ordered their blended Mocha Frappe. All tasted great! Met the Family... Karla was super nice! Can't wait to frequent this spot! I want to try their entire menu now! They also own that food truck you see in the area all the time: Mikhuna. Love the friendly vibes! PS... I learned how to pronounce their name correctly: "Ah-gee" "Coffee" :)

This is a great addition to the area. Nice indoindoor seating available. Fresh and clean inside. My order was wrong, but it didn't bother me because allowing them some grace to work out the kinks is necessary for them to survive. The food was really good and fresh, I wish the condor had carved turkey instead of sliced (like lunch meat) and a sourdough or brioche bun instead of plain white bread toast. The bacon, breakfast sandwich was executed perfectly, crisp bacon, delicious egg and yummy bun, not to mention all sandwiches come with a side of potatoes. This was a great meal. A few hiccups, but, hey I'm going back to support and try them again. I know once they find their rhythm, this place will be outstanding.
