Delicious food, great service and honestly...what a vibe, awesome people and surfers in and out it was such a sweet spot. Cool music and really friendly staff. My personal recommendations: Coffee - it was delicious! Big Wave Burger - wow what a burger, bigger than teahpoo and twice as awesome. Thank you to the kind waitress, if I wasn't a broke student I'd be leaving a good tip. I 100% recommend this place!!

Wanted to try based on the best coffee claim. Had a double espresso first without any sugary additives to try the coffee out and was pleasantly surprised. Very full bodied and good crema. Then had a barraquito which was amazing. Wife had the Spanish latte and was great as well

is it the best coffee place on the island? well. not sure. :) been here 3 times within a week and i got 3 different kind of barraquito -s :) they have been made by 3 different persons. to tell the truth, i liked all of them. :) all were delicious, best looking was the first one, more alcohol was in the second one and well, third one was the weakest. twice i got a little glass of water as well. i made pictures of the first two. maybe its not the best place, but i really liked the 'coffee' here and i would come back for more :) tried barraquito in several places, here was the most intensive one! 5*!

It says ‘the best coffee on the island’. Totally agree, the Americano is the smoothest I’ve tried!

Loved this place so much. Visited a few times during our 2 week stay. Everything I had was fab, the coffee was great and the staff were friendly. Very cheap considering how fresh and high quality everything was. Would definitely recommend!

Super affordable prices - coffee from 1 euro! Coffee and croissant were both lovely. The seating in the morning is also in the sun. Would definitely recommend.
