Coffee is good and the barista is very creative and attentive, but he flirts with the female customers which makes them uncomfortable

Authentic Italian espresso drinks -- courtesy of the charming Italian owner, Andrea. The cappuccino we had today must be the best in Spain! The little cafe is also delightful, with great pictures on the walls. We drove out from Nerja to check out this cafe, and were so happy we did. We recommend this cafe to anyone who loves their coffee in true Italian style.

Andrea is the host here and he speaks English very well, along with Dutch and other languages. He is European in his service style sometimes, after all he is doing you a service, he is not your slave :-) If you don't go when it's crowded with locals speaking loudly, you'll be treated well and have the opportunity to chat with other customers, just like a "Cheers" bar, unusual for a coffee shop, but quite enjoyable.

This is an ‘old school’ European coffee bar. You get Fantastic coffee with no extra thrills. It is what it is and that is part of the charm. The cappuccino is very good and at €1.30, it is crazy cheap. The espressos pack a punch and it is better coffee than any of the other local cafes.

The best Cappuccino in Almunecar. We tried lots of places and this was by far the best. Friendly little cafe where you can meet and chat with the locals while the owner makes you feel very welcome and valued. Will definitely return on our next visit.
