CafeLab — Restaurant in Cartagena

I stopped here for coffee esteray when I arrived in Cartegena for late afternoon/evening time. My wife had come across Cafelab when looking for places in Murcia where we're heading to tomorrow as I'm a massive coffee fan.

They have menus in English and the waiter we had spoke very good English. The Café itself was very comfortable and looked very well presented with some interesting items on display related to the making of coffee. The menus themselves had a nice selection of different coffee blends that you can drink, either as a filter coffee or one of the many typical Barosta style coffees.

I chose a Cappuccino with the Bolivia Sol de la Mañana coffee. This is the best coffee I've had in Spain and on par with any coffee I've had in Italy. It was made perfectly and at a drinkable temperature rather than the usual burning hot temperatures you get in Costas/Starbucks in England where all coffee tastes burnt. This was accompanied by a couple of delicious slices of Lemon cake.

My wife and teenagers went for different Frappes. 2 Nutella and one caramel flavoured Frappes. I tasted both flavours and both were incredible (no coffee so good for children). All are accompanied by a tasty biscuits on the side and were very well presented.

The bill came to €30 in total. Not the cheapest but it would be unfair to compare this to a cheaper café that push out inferior coffee.

I'm really looking forward to visiting CoffeeLab in...

This cafe is absolutely gorgeous, look at the details on their decor, they're using coffee related things for lights, light switch, door handle, etc, it is beyond cool! The barista are friendly and helpful, there's plenty of sitting, inside and outdoor and their coffee is amazing! I always had my latte without sugar and theirs went down with such a treat, super smooth, not overly bitter or sour, it was truly one of the best I've had. Their hot chocolates are also so good!! Soo chocolaty creamy not overly sweet, amazing!! And don't sleep on their cakes!!! Tried their pistachio cake and it is easily be the best cheesecake I've had in Europe. It is cheesy but not overly cheesy, sweet but not overly sweet, creamy, luscious and the crust is delish too! The ferrero latte is way too sweet for my tho, it could be an option for those who enjoys sweet drink or just learn to drink coffee. If I had the chance to comeback to Cartagena I'll definitely...

Outstanding coffee! Probably the best one I had in a long time. I loved the variety they offer of coffee and non coffee beverages. The matcha lemonade that my partner took was probably the tastiest version of matcha he ever had as well. Each drink came with a very tasty mini cookie and with the bill we also received a sweet treat. Not even mentioning that the place itself is situated in a historical castle which preserved the bits of history. Beautiful venue, kind staff and outstanding selection of drinks. I haven't tried the food but the cakes they had looked exceptionally tasty. The prices are reasonable, between 2-4€ for hot coffee, 5€ for iced coffees (frapes) and lemonades. They also offer coffee classes! This place is definitely worth a visit for any coffee lover. Tourists, make it a stop on your Cartagena tour. Locals, I am so jealous that you have access to this place all day every day! I am definitelly...
