SOHO CAFÉ - BRUNCH — Restaurant in Valencia

Disappointing Experience – Unfriendly Staff and Very Slow Service

We came here for breakfast, but unfortunately, the experience was far from pleasant. One of the staff members — a blonde woman with glasses — was particularly unfriendly. When we tried to order, she abruptly cut us off and said we could only order drinks first. Apparently, they have a strange system where you are only allowed to order coffee first, then wait around 15 minutes just for the drinks to arrive. Only after that can you order food, which took almost another 30 minutes to be served.

Breakfast ended up taking way too long, and the kitchen was very slow. The food itself was okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately, the unfriendly attitude toward English-speaking tourists completely ruined the experience for us. Would not return and definitely do not recommend if you're looking for a relaxed or welcoming...

We had a really disappointing experience at SOHO CAFE. The service was incredibly inattentive – we were basically forgotten. It took over 10 minutes just to get our coffee, and when it finally arrived, it was cold and tasted awful.

To make things worse, our food was delivered to the wrong table first, and only brought to us after a five-minute delay. By then, it wasn’t even warm anymore.

The dishes looked nothing like the photos on the menu or website. The presentation was sloppy, and the food tasted artificial, like something microwaved at home. It felt like no effort was made at all.

The ambiance didn’t help either – no air conditioning inside made it unbearably hot, and the interior felt completely soulless and thrown together.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place....

We had brunch here and was very happy (especially as a vegetarian) to have plenty of options and lots of healthy options! We had the shakshouka and the acai bowl which were both delicious. I loved that you have the option to get large cups of coffee (cappachino / café con leche etc). The owner was very welcoming and happily accommodated all of our additional requests. We will definitely be coming back to try more, and I love the fact that you don't add extra sugars into desserts and acai bowl/granola etc! Thank you for a wonderful experience (and Leon says thank you again for the extra biscuits 😉) Didn't get any pictures as we were too busy...
