Boutique Relieve S.L. leads the café scene in La Orotava with 957 reviews. The best cafés in La Orotava aren’t to be found on a tourist trail, but on the ground floors of the stately townhouses surrounding the Plaza de la Constitución. El bocata has a rating of 4.7 stars from 217 reviews and shows where the locals go in the mornings. The town boasts eight cafés, scattered amongst carved wooden balconies and cobbled streets in the fertile Orotava Valley. Slow Coffee on Calle León is one of the newer spots in the old town centre.
A coffee break amidst colonial architecture and views of Mount Teide
Most cafés open around 8 am, with the busiest times lasting until the early afternoon. A café con leche costs from around 1.50 euros upwards; prices are in line with Canary Islands standards. Some cafés offer an affordable ‚menú del día‘ at lunchtime. In smaller establishments such as Aromas & Café, guests are advised to pay in cash. Knowledge of Spanish isn’t essential, but a polite ‚thank you‘ at the counter goes down well. FLOBAKERY CHEESECAKE & MORE is on Av. Obispo Benítez de Lugo, where you’ll also find the Bar Cafetería Naranja Limón.
Tips for your visit
El Tentempie has 172 reviews and is the down-to-earth spot amongst the stone façades. The eight cafés stretch up the hillside, with small tables set out on the cobbled streets. The view stretches over the rooftops to the Atlantic Ocean, and as the day progresses, the sunlight shifts across the terraces between the Mount Teide side and the coastline.
Six bars are situated amongst the cafés, often in the very same spots where floral carpets are laid out for Corpus Christi. Behind some of the bars, you’ll find wines made from grapes grown on the surrounding hillsides. In the afternoon, guests sit in the old town centre with a cortado and pastries, for example at CRUMB’S CAFÉ.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do cafés in La Orotava cost on average?
The eight cafés in La Orotava are reasonably priced. A café cortado usually costs between one and two euros, and a slice of cake between three and five euros. Around the Plaza del Ayuntamiento in the historic old town, prices are slightly higher than in the residential areas.
Are cafés in La Orotava suitable for families with children?
Families will find La Orotava a welcoming place, as the cafés are situated in traffic-calmed areas of the old town where children can move about freely. The eight cafés do not generally offer specialised facilities for children, so it’s worth checking the amenities and seating arrangements in advance.
Can you get by in German in restaurants in La Orotava?
In La Orotava’s 34 restaurants, German is not a reliable lingua franca, as the town is less touristy than the coastal resorts. Spanish and, to some extent, English will get you further; guests will find it easier to get by if they know a few basic Spanish words.
