Reviews

Wir wollten ein Kaffee trinken und etwas kleines essen. Das Essen war gut, jedoch war das Geschirr und Besteck sehr schmutzig, weswegen ich nur 2 Sterne verteilen kann.

We made a habit of enjoying a good coffee and sometimes a snack here at Julieta. We love the atmosphere and the rustic industrial interior design. The staff are very nice and orders come out promptly even on the busy days.
Like the place much!

Amazing place. I came here on my last day in Malaga which was rainy. The cafe is comfortable and welcoming. Food is really nice and there is a variety for you to choose from. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, a very nice atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. The food was amazing 🥰. We had toast eggs benedict and toast smoked salmon egg and avocado. Can't fault.
Fresh smoothies 😋 so delicious.

Really good experience. The cafe was full though, when we went to eat at noon. Food and coffee was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Plus the food was very affordable compared to other similar brunch restaurants in the city.

Me and my family came accidentally to “Julieta” during process of finding good place for coffee break. It’s nice, cosy and fancy place to enjoy drinks and food. Bar is in the shape of container. Waitress was smiling and helpful. There are few varieties of cakes, my fav was Lotus Cake. You can come here for breakfast as well as they serve toast, sandwiches and croissants. Our order (coffees and cakes) was made in short time. I really recommend Julieta Cafe for pleasant break time :)

I can’t even give a star. The waiter wouldn’t give us a menu. My wife ordered eggs and toast, as well as myself. The bill came back. It was 18euros. The the waiter is a thief.

Coffee shop chain in Malaga. Had a cup of cappuccino in 2 places, and from can say that the place to go is Julieta at Calle Santa Lucia.
Very cozy atmosphere, interesting design elements, and very delicious sandwiches and croissants served with extra greens and juicy sauce that was a nice surprise. Large choice on the Menu with hot drinks, juices, pancakes, and other treats. A place to return to again and again.

Very good and reasonably priced coffee and sandwiches. My sandwich also tasted very nice as the bread was freshly baked. I enjoy ed this place a lot because of its interior, food and atmosphere!



Great coffee and bakery place located in the town center. We got pistachio latte and cookie cake and they were very nice. The place was crowded on a weekday evening and we could see people queuing up for tables. The service was a bit slow as the place was full but the staff was very friendly and cheerful. The place looked very lively and bright


it was the best breakfast i’ve ever had. i swear. i have been to many places but this one- 5 out of 5. could not be better. if you’re in Malaga you have to come here. waffle party was an out of body experience. i saw god. i was in heaven. i hope i will ever be able to enjoy anything as this was so good.




The filter coffee and espresso were great! We ordered brunch with poached eggs and salmon, both of which were tasty and fresh. Went the next day for cold brew. Very friendly people, both those that serve and those enjoying their coffee.






Small, cozy and fantastic cafe. There are always a lot of people, but that's not surprising, everything is delicious. It’s close to the center, but in a side street so it’s a quiet area. All smiling and friendly. Perfect for breakfast. I don't know how they do it because the space is very small, but they can make great brioche, sandwiches and poached eggs. Great coffee, hand brew of course. Beans from few roasters to choose. And the basque cheesecake is one of the best I have ever eaten!








Nice place for brunch (they served all day). Very busy and we are lucky to find a place. The food is good.





Best coffee in Málaga without a doubt. Perhaps the best in all of Aldalucia. Amazing coffe every time with great staff. Good food options too for a great price. Can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re ever in Málaga go there.









Very small and cozy place, but their coffee and breakfast are really good. I tried their Guatemala beans it was so good. Also the bagel is so yummy.


Good service and prices.
Quite spacious inside. Didn’t have a problem finding a seat during a busy time.
Food could be improved a little. For example guacamole had a very strong lemon flavour and a pale colour.

I’ve been here a few times in the last couple of years. It’s 2 minutes from Maria Zambrano station, so ideal if you want a quick lunch whilst waiting for a train. The food and service is great. Lovely tapas. Meatballs, Prawns, mussels, salads etc. All the usual.
Don’t be put off by the appearance. It’s pretty basic. On the main road. Plastic tables and laminated menus, but the food is really good, and excellent value.
On my last visit, I had garlic prawns, meatballs, Patatas bravos and a couple of glasses of wine. That lot came to €15, so amazing value.

Total süßes Lokal zum Snacken, brunchem oder frühstücken. Ausgezeichneter Cafe, super frisches Essen und sehr nette Bedienung. Das Lokal liegt ziemlich zentral und nahe dem Hafen. Die Karte gibt es auf spanisch oder englisch. Kann ich nur sehr empfehlen. Danke 🤗



Muy buen lugar para cenar. Aceptar sus sugerencias es lo mejor que hemos podido hacer. Nos faltó probar el postre pero teníamos prisa. El pulpo muy fresco y original en su acompañamiento. Las tostas de bonito un manjar la verdad. La ensalada muy original…



This little coffee spot on a quiet street is a real gem! 👌
The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and they serve up tasty food and awesome coffee quickly. 🥘
The vibe is cool, thanks to good tunes and a unique atmosphere. 🎧
If you're in Málaga, give it a shot! You won't regret it!

No idea why this place has so many 5 stars reviews. A basic typical coffee shop. Coffee tastes normal.
I asked for iced coffee, but I got hot Americano with some ice.
The choices of coffee are limited as you can see in the menu.

This has become our 'go to' place for a quiet drink in Malaga. The owner, Mark is always friendly and helpful. The house wine is good, as is the music. On a sunny day it is nice to sit outside and people watch, but it is cozy inside in winter. Very central, but never uncomfortably crowded.




Nice little cafe, arrive early or you will have a little wait for a table. Takeaway is possible, but a fresh cherry special is better. Tasty and high quality food - would recommend this rather than hotel breakfast.




Nice breakfast/brunch in the heart of Malaga. We ordered the poached eggs over avocado, eggs Benedict and a waffle with white chocolate, strawberries and crumble of chips ahoy. The avocado poached eggs and eggs Benedict where good but could get better, the waffle was absolutely fantastic!




YUM YUM YUM! Really delicious latte with oat milk. And the food was delicious too. For the French brioche toast, the toast was a good level of sweetness complemented well by the mascarpone cream and the fruits. And the sourdough toast with Iberian ham and poached egg was also delicious. Would recommend checking out this cozy cafe! It’s got very limited seating so come early to secure a seat.

Have already posted a positive review on Tripadvisor. We were in Hotel opposite and only found el tapeo on last night. We visit this Hotel 4/5 times annually and can't wait todine here again. Completely recommend service, atmosphere and value, prawns , croquetas,Rosada a la Plancha excellent. After we left I had dropped my wallet which was returned to me personally by the owner !!! Anyone visiting Malaga should eat here, can't wait to return 👏👏👏


Very affordable, lively environment

- The service was friendly;
- Croquettes with shrimps were the best, if they stop do anything else and sell only the croquettes, it will be a success;
- Tuna tartare with too much salt, swimming in sauce. Maybe the fish was fresh, it was already impossible to determine;
- The scallops crunched on my teeth with something;
- The mussels were ok;
- The octopus dies for nothing being severely over grilled.
Generally we were quite disappointed for more than 30€ each. Might be a good place for beer with simple tapas.

The only good thing was croquets, they were actually great, order only them, do not try to order anything else, you will be disappointed, I warned you!

Really lovely, we stopped for a quick drink but it was a nice experience. Thank you!








We had a good breakfast here, though there was a bit of wait time as the place was full. We waited only a little bit to be seated.
Got some Fresh Juice, Avalana Milkshake (which was quite sweet, though tasty) and a special juice of theirs (which was delicious). We then ordered a few of their sandwiches which we enjoyed and were quite filling.
The waitresses seemed a bit tired, so they weren't the "happiest" looking, but they did their job well and had no issues.

Great food

Great local bar. Very reasonable. Good tapas.


Find this little gem when visiting Malaga last week. Only have couple of drinks there but the coffee was lovely, service was excellent and music was fantastic. I will be back very soon there, highly recommended.


Great place to have a drink with some tapas full of locals



I recommend this Cafeteria and love to sit here in the sun! The bocadillos are tasty and toasted to perfection. And the coffee is just delicious.
The staff is super kind and the prices are adequate. You will feel very welcome by the easy-going personnel.
It’s located quite central and close to the bus station. Perfect for taking a break in Málaga.

Great little cafe with a big heart. And excellent coffee too. Been in Malaga for a week but kept coming here every day, made me feel welcomed and like a part of local community. Mark, the owner is really cool guy, make sure to exchange a story or two...




Went in for breakfast. Service and food was top quality 👌. Thank you!















Came here for a break from all the sight-seeing. I ordered a cafe con leche and it was fantastic. After finishing my coffee, I decided to wait for the rest of my group to join me. Not a word of complaint from the owner/waiter, who by the way was friendly and was happy for me to sit at the outside table while I waited. The rest of my group arrived and I recommended they also take a break here at the cafe with further orders for another coffee, a coke and fresh orange juice. Again, the coffee elicited high praise and the orange juice went down well (this was a young child!).

Great little place. We had lunch and coffee and only paid €5 together. Food was good and staff was very friendly.

Simple but really nice place. Friendly stuff who takes care for you. Got really good lunch.

Great food, friendly staff, fun atmosphere. Service a little slow but, so worth it once the food arrived. Nice beer too. Will be back

Very friendly and warm people , made us feel very comfortable. Food is delicious and reasonably priced not much anybody could add to this. Would recommend this place if you are looking for good food and a wide grin.
















Very friendly, approachable owner; relaxed vibe, good location with views to the port, ferris wheel, park and public transport. Nice terrace surrounded by by rental bike shops, laundry, parking place near by. Cool spot to stop and have a refreshment and most likely a nice late night scene here in this cosmopolitan city. Will surely visit again ... whoever I get a chance.


Great breakfast. Latte and a delicious ham and cheese sandwich for less than 3 euros. Very nice staff. Strongly recommended.
