Delicious food and well made coffee. We really enjoyed our time here and getting to chat with the owners was a delightful plus. Lovely people with an obvious passion for their work. Also loved the decor and art, which creates a lovely ambiance. Highly recommend stopping in.

Went for Lunch midweek, La Palmera is run by a young couple who have created a lovely space where they serve some really delicious dishes from a great menu, all cakes are homemade and the cinnamon & lemon cake I can highly recommend.

Coffee only review. Spotted another sign that promised good coffee. On the window it reads, Freshly Roasted Beans. This made my coffee lovers heart beat faster. Here’s my two cents. I am not sure this place is new, but service was a bit off. We waited a long time before somebody came over to take our order. The table setting is off an uncomfortable. There are big round tables that take up a lot of space. We ordered caffe con leche, and flat whites (yes they have flat white on the menu). First impressions, I thought the coffee was not going to be good as it looked very milky. But(!), it really had a great taste. The taste was dark, with a slight hazelnut aftertaste, very pleasant. No acid fruity aftertaste. Prices of the coffee are “high” compared to other places in the area. For a cortado - two cafes further you’d pay € 1,15. Here the flat white was €2,60. Still not regular big city coffee prices but higher than you may expect. It’s true, there was a bit too much milk in the flat white but overall I’d score the coffee a 7 out of 10. We didn’t taste the food or cakes. End score, good neighborhood coffee for the coffee lovers.

Spent a week in the nearby Camper Park Xalo and visited this lovely cafe a few times, reasonably priced and run by a very friendly couple. The coffee and food were delicious, eggs cooked to perfection on all the brunch dishes we tried and the mango smoothie was particularly amazing! We will definitely return when we are back in the area.

Incredible drinks and food at Spanish prices. Everything avocado is to die for and the homemade cakes and icecream are absolutely incredible. Just imagine homemade 'cheesecake ice-cream' and 'tiramisu ice-cream' #1 favourite place for breakfast, lunch, coffee and an afternoon tea
