Incredible! This cafe was our saviour whilst in salou! We visited twice during our 3 day stay and both occasions were wonderful. Greeted warmly like old friends, patience shown whilst we ordered and assistance given whilst making decisions. We tried the latte, machiato, freshly squeezed orange juice, oreo croissant and twix croissants.... All superb! Probably among the best cafe experience we have had! The oreo croissant been my favourite! Each time we left it was never in silence always a "thank you and good bye" We look forward to returning on our next visit

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! Best coffee and pastries in Salou, and the best service! It was so great we went twice during our 5 day trip. The pistachio latte, matcha latte and chai latte are all delicious, and the pastries are amazing! The highlight of the coffee shop is one of the workers, Eve. She is so friendly and helpful, and a credit to the store!

A very lovely cafe. We came here everyday after discovering it. Lots of options for drinks and coffees and my personal favourite was the matcha. The baked goods are all absolutely delicious and coming here became a highlight of my day. The atmosphere in the cafe is wonderful and the staff were so lovely to us every time. Would highly recommend coming here.

Really gooood coffee Many cafes just put a syrup in a coffee and think of it as a masterpiece, but not here. I got a real creamy pistachio thing going on in my cup, do not know what it was but it was yummy and it also looked as a piece of art.

We stumbled across this place while exploring Salou, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Even though our Spanish is pretty basic, the staff were incredibly kind and patient, and their recommendations were spot on, especially the lady on the counter delivered exceptional service although we unfortunately didn’t catch her name.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this place deserves it. From the moment I walked in, the staff were genuinely friendly—no fake smiles, just warm, easygoing energy that makes you feel welcome right away. Service was quick, attentive, and relaxed in the best way. Food? Straight 10/10. Fresh, well-seasoned, and plated with care. Portions are generous without being heavy, and everything tastes like it was made by someone who actually cares about flavor. Coffee was on point too—smooth, balanced, and not burnt or bitter. You can tell they take their coffee seriously. The vibe is clean and cozy and prices are fair for the quality you get. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit. If you’re into great breakfast and kind people, this is the spot.
