This is quite possibly the best eatery in Spain! We had breakfast here twice - Açai bowl which is the best I’ve had, and Eggs Benedicto with GF bread. Great coffee. Great detox juices. Absolutely amazing food, amazing presentation and lovely owner. We will visit this place every time we are in Tarifa!

Very nice place to eat healthy and delicious food. Capuchino i had was great, piece of carrot & orange cake succulent. For sure will be back to test more of the menu. Seems they have nice breakfast bowls for starting the days and good sandwich for lunch. Nice decoration. Small terasse but also quiet cool indoor space to chill inside during string Levante days. I can only recommand Fair price, only 3.5€ for cappuccino and nice cake
