Frederik Fresen
Mar 01, 2026"Great location to have a drink, very nice interior and the terrace is in a typical Spanish street. And beside the nice drinks we also got chips which came with the drinks. I met the very friendly owner and he told me normally they also have live music. We order Aqua de Valencia and a Corona and later on a Margaritha aswel. And before we knew.... We sat there for 2 hours or so."

Jan 15, 2026"I passed by this cozy little café-bar again and finally stepped inside, drawn in by the soft sound of the piano music. The place is small but charming, with cute vintage decorations n friendly staff. They serve coffee - cocktails and snacks. I had a refreshing orange juice cocktail Would definitely come back next time I’m in town. ( More details in the photo captions )"

Dec 29, 2025"I came across this place by accident, but it was a very lucky strike - it is a very nice and cosy place with a unique, vintage interior design. There are many locals visiting, what makes this place even more authentic. Also the staff is super nice and friendly and prices are affordable, especially for such location. The best Agua de Valencia in the city. Highly recommended! :)"
