Kaffeina Brunch & Specialty Coffee - El Carmen — Restaurant in Valencia

Terrible experience really. We ordered really simple meals, juice and Americano. The wait was long, but there were quite some people so that's understandable. But. The waitress was quite unpleasant while taking our order. She didn't do anything specific worth mentioning but wasn't that professional eaither. Now the most important part - the meals we got. Ordered tost with serrano, bagel with serrano and a 'fruit bowl'. Tost was the worst part - serrano naturally has a bit sour taste and apparently it is quite disgusting when paired with stale braed that is sour as well and with tomatos (sour as well, no seasoning). The bagel was just bad but not worth mentioning. For the 'fruit bowl' - that was a funny one. The bowl was actually a plate. With one whole strawberry on it, 1/3 of a single banana, 1/3 pear, 1/4 apple, 4 berries. (Approximately) I definitely don't recommend, the food is terrible, the worst culinary experience in...

The iced tea is just undissolved matcha powder in cold water. 0/10 Coconut smoothie has a good size for its price, but it's a bit lacking in flavor but that could just be the fruit's fault 3/10 coffee 5/10 according to my friends rotten avocado on half of our tostadas, bread was ok but it didn't go well with the tomato avocado egg combo. 3.5/10 for the ones with rotten avocado, 5.8/10 for the one with the good avocado. The plates were half the size of normal plates and therefore too small, and we were unfortunately too challenged to eat the tostadas without spilling everywhere.

Music played: Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, Jonas Brothers, lot of music produced by Jack Antonoff.

My friend who suggested this café had a depressed expression during the entirety of our stay. He was unhappy and hated the roof. He did however enjoy the iced tea after adding three packs of sugar.

Plus points for having a bathroom for people with...

We recently spent a month in Valencia and stumbled upon Kaffeina, a true gem of a coffee shop that quickly became our daily highlight. From the moment we walked in, we were loved the warm, inviting atmosphere and the genuine passion for quality that shines through in every detail. The food here is nothing short of outstanding, each dish crafted with such love and care, with presentation so beautiful it’s almost too good to eat (almost!). Every bite reflects their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients. The coffee, oh, the coffee! Kaffeina offers three cup sizes, and their XL café con leche became our morning ritual after our walk/run through the park. The staff’s friendliness added to the experience, making every visit feel special. Kaffeina isn’t just a coffee shop, it’s a haven of flavor and hospitality that we couldn’t get enough of. We can’t...
