Cafe 10 — Restaurant in Tarifa

Café 10 is my favorite café, bar and restaurant in Tarifa, Spain. I used to go to the poorly run Café Central which had no WiFi. The owner and manager should be ashamed for poor and extremely slow service, and rude and careless staff. Café 10, on the other hand, has quick service, excellent management and delicious food, great coffee and a full bar. Best of all, it is affordable.

Café 10 always has a crowd of young people and tourists, who often bring their laptops and portable telephones to check emails while enjoying a crepe, a delicious sandwich on fresh bread, a fruit juice drink, a cafe, soda, bottled water, beer, glass of wine or a cocktail..

Café 10 has very tasty food that is artistically presented, and it also has delicious breakfasts. I stopped here two times in one day, for a coffee and later for a warm sandwich, which was substantial and reasonably priced.

I am very pleased that Café 10 always has strong WiFi. It is a charming informal place that is very popular. There is seating inside, and outside there are a few tables in the sun.

Occasionally I eat outside in the sunshine on the slightly sloping cobblestone road.

On another visit a charming and efficient waiter took my order for a hot sandwich of mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and avocado on excellent whole wheat multigrain bread and a cappuccino coffee.

My food was ready in less than 10 minutes, despite the crowd of people inside and outside.

Café 10 is definitely one of the hidden gems in the old part of Tarifa.

Try it in the morning for breakfast with orange juice, or in the late afternoon or early evening for a coffee, beer, glass of wine, fresh fruit, fruit juice smoothie, or a slice of delicious cake or crepe.

The "oldie" music from the late 60s and early 70s always brings back memories. I ordered a large café con leche and when it was brought to my table by the waitress, I was astonished to see that it was one of the largest cups of coffee I have ever had in my entire life.

At Café 10, the service is always fast and all the waiters and waitresses are efficient and friendly. There are amazing cocktails and assorted cold beers.

The Polish owner is a pleasant woman who told me that her café probably would be closed for a few months during the winter. However, on my arrival on December 4th, 2017, the place was open. I enjoyed a delicious lunch with a huge soup-bowl sized coffee. The friendly English-speaking waitress told me they decided to remain...

Absolutely awesome little place. We were here just before Christmas 2019. We tried a lot of different places during the week we spent in tarifa, but we kept coming back here. Mainly for breakfast but also for a late snack. The staff were super friendly. We don't speak Spanish so it helped that they speak English. Big plus for speaking English in a way where you end up learning some words in Spanish. For example when you ask for the check and they confirm and say what it is in Spanish. We tried almost everything on the menu and we enjoyed everything we got. Our favourites were all the different toasts. The fresh orange juice and the coffee were delicious. Can't recommend this place enough. Will 100% come back for more if I visit Tarifa again. Thanks...

Que cafetería o restaurante de bebidas ofrece una carta de especialidad de gin tonics y cuándo pides uno con ingredientes especiales , te sirven uno normal con una rodaja de limón? Después preguntar que si ese era el gin que ponía en la carta y te dicen que no tan tranquilamente…es mas dicen: “déjame ver la carta a ver qué ingredientes tiene” … LO PEOR no fue eso lo peor fue la atención de LA CAMARERA que gesticulando irónicamente, riendose delante de los clientes, gesticulando de muy mala manera nos ofreció volver a hacer el gin de nuevo, cual fue nuevamente la sorpresa que nuevamente de muy mal humor vino diciendo que no tenían los ingredientes, que el camarero no estaba acostumbrado. Alicinamos. Nos quejamos formalmente diciendo que esto era un “sin sentido” y ella dijo “bueno señora que yo le ofrezco otro” todo esto acompañado de burlas con los compañeros, de risas a gente de la calle amigos suyos diciendo a gritos “ ya no puedo más” A nuestra petición de explicación de que ocurría con esta carta que ofrece una cosa pero te da otra ella, la camarera muy soberbia dijo que llamaba al encargado, como intentando atemorizarnos. El encargado se disculpó fue atento y nos quiso invitar a la bebida gratis, cosa que por supuesto no aceptamos y pagamos lo que nos dijo . Lo único que le dijimos es que todo se puede entender en un trabajo duro como es la hostelería pero la cordialidad hacia los clientes es fundamental. Dicho todo esto, comentaros que nos apetecía tanto probar este sitio que la primera vez que nos sentamos fue con unos pastelitos de la calle, la camarera vino y nos dijo que con ellos no podíamos tomar nada. Lo respetamos , nos levantamos, terminamos y volvimos a sentarnos a tomar el gin ya sin pasteles. El trato recibido con esa pobre camarera fue indecente. Una lastima que un sitio con buena reputación venga abajo por la mala educación de...
