This place is definitely a staple pitstop when coming to Malaga! Although filled with tourists it's all for good reason! The churros, chocolate, and coffees we had were all super delicious! Also highly recommend the Bocadillos, the bread they use is super delicious and seems like a local bread or made in house. Our server was funny and still made sure we had great service despite how busy it was and how noisy! read more

Casa Aranda - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Málaga, Massachusetts

This is an update to my original post. Once again my husband and I visited Malaga and this was the one place that I wanted to visit. This time we wanted to impress our friends with our knowledge of where to go for good chocolade and churros. Casa Aranda did not disappoint. The churros we had were fantastic! Light and airy and crispy, unlike the ones we had in Cartagena the day before. The chocolade was pretty darn perfect too. This time we sat outside on the street and had great service. I plan to visit this place every time we are in the area. read more

Casa Aranda - Delicious churros - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Málaga, Massachusetts

I can't remember how I found this place-so good, visited twice. First time was in the morning. Ordered a Cafe Con Leche. Loved that they brought out the coffee and poured the milk in at the table. The Bocadillo with olive oil/tomato sauce was delicious. That said, I wasn't expecting to construct the sandwich but it worked. Second visit was in the evening. Had the Churros which are continuously made fresh as they stay busy. My Hot Chocolate was thick, rich and perfect for Churro dipping. They close for a few hours after lunch and open back up late afternoon. Worth the wait for an outdoor table. Service is fast and friendly. Don't miss this local favorite! read more

Very bad experience as the servers were rude. If they don't like tourists, then shouldn't sell on a tourist spot.The churros themselves taste like the oil has been reused 100times. Chocolate sauce was just normal. read more

Really nice churros. Would be a 5 if finding a server wasn't difficult and if I didn't get hit with five flavors of local teen geek bars sitting outside. The outside view is great. Chocolate is very thick and rich. read more

My family was recommended to go to this establishment by a food tour guide for the churros and the chocolate. It did not disappoint. The churros were light and delicate. We dipped them in a thick delicious chocolate. Take the time, have a seat, enjoy the churros and consider trying one of their coffees. read more

The first and best of 3 places we tried for churros in Andalucia. Their churro was soft and airy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Their milk chocolate to dip the churros in was thick and creamy and totally made the churros. I'm so sad we found it as we left Malaga. No other place in Seville compared; especially the long line at the disappointing El Comercio. So sad to not get to eat it again. read more

I actually don't really like churros (neither the Spanish nor Mexican styles). This place didn't really change my mind... tasted like flavorless fried dough just like it does at other places. The chocolate "milk" that they served with it was tasty and thick. We shared one (and 4 churros) between two people, and that was more than enough. Price was very reasonable, especially given the location in the touristy area. Lots of outdoor shaded seating read more

First time trying Churros con Chocolate and it was amazing! Super affordable place for a quick snack. Churros are made fresh and on the spot. Tasted very similar to Chinese fried bread. They also have really good coffee here too. If you are ever in Málaga, give this place a try! read more

Casa Aranda - Churros con chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Málaga, Massachusetts

When in Spain, got to get my churros and chocolate. Casa Aranda is a large cafe, taking up the downstairs of 3 buildings, which is great as you can sit outside and enjoy the Spanish sun. Their churros were cooked perfectly, hot and crispy, with that just right crunch. The chocolate is more milk chocolate than the dark chocolate of their counterparts that I had in Granada and Madrid. Nevertheless still creamy and rich, I was using my spoon to pick up every last drop. Best part, at 0.50 a churro and 1.70 or so for a chocolate, you can eat your fill without breaking the bank. read more

I believe there are 2 locations. We went to the one that was less crowded and was able to find a table outside. Very good place to start off the day. Prices are very reasonable. The churros was excellent. It came out hot and crispy and the the chocolate dipping sauce was delicious. Sandwich was also great. read more

This place was exactly what we were looking for: authentic and a local favorite. You know a place is good when it's filled with old locals and the waiter hands out newspapers for them to read. You know it's good because there was no menu. You know it's good because you could see them making the churros and the waiters all had smiles on their faces. We ordered the traditional breakfast: churros y chocolate and tostada y cafe. Tostada is a piece of toasted bread and the waiter asked if I wanted it with butter or olive oil. I chose butter obviously and it did not disappoint. The coffee was strong and perfect served in a glass. The churro was simple and not sweet. The chocolate was not too thick and not too sweet. Perfect breakfast. read more

Great place for coffee and churros. Watch the world walk by while being serenaded by accordion music from street musicians.

This is the place for churros and chocolate. For cafe con leche, where they pour the milk into your coffee from a steaming pot. Local flavor. Delightful. read more

This is the most preferred place for churros in Malaga. It's also a great place for some breakfast, coffee and to people watch on the edge of the central market. We probably screwed up our churro order, our lack of Spanish the culprit, but even though it was plain it was still a good way to start our day touring through Malaga. read more

Simply some of the best churros you can have in Spain in a very old school and authentic setting. Churros are made fresh to order and are a perfect mix of crunchy, soft, and greasy. The chocolate to dip the churros in is also wonderful. So much seating that you will rarely need to wait long. read more

You get 3 options at Casa Aranda: 1. Churros 2. Coffee, Tea and/or juice 3. Sandwich Very simple. There's no menu however, it's guaranteed you'll enjoy what ever you choose. I choose the ham and cheese sandwich, fresh squeezed orange juice and churros con chocolate. This was the best breakfast I'd had in Spain. The churros were light and airy and the chocolate was rich and delicious. The sandwich was fresh, the bread to die for and the cheese oozing just like I like it. read more

I sort of just ran into this place without realizing I had bookmarked it. It was just in a narrow alley with a bunch of people all with churros. And being the monkey see, monkey do person I am, I ordered some chocolate and churros despite being stuffed from lunch still. The churros were good, not quite as good as I expected from seeing all the people, but the churros were fresh, crispy, and the chocolate was ok. The service is really fast, I got my order in about two minutes. It's not the most friendly service, but it's efficient. I like how you can order per churro instead of racions, which were usually way too much for me. read more

First time trying churros and chocolate. I've had the crappy amusement park versions before but these were on a whole another level. The churros were substantial in size, light, airy, crunchy they chewy. Amazing consistency that you dipped into thick chocolate drink. The churro itself was not sweet but dipped into the semi sweet chocolate was an absolutely heavenly combination it nearly brought tears to my eyes!! Do not miss it! A deal for less than 4 euros for 3 churros and a chocolate! read more

I'm such a freaking Tourist, I felt pretty pathetic and rushed by sweet sweet sugary chocolate. I tried repeating something on the menu, the guy understood and asked me something and I just said: Si with confidence. Ok so I ordered 2 churros and 2 of their chocolate drink. It's pretty much eaglebrand (carnation milk) with chocolate that's mixed and boiled together. It's stupid good, I pretended to drink one and use the other as my order was super legit and wasn't lost in translation. I needed more churros, You basically need 4 churry per chocolat drink, so I ordered another 6 and ended up cleaning both chocolate drink and eat 8 churros. I was sweating balls having my heart beating too fast because of sugar and sweatness. That was a pretty cool experience. read more

Churros gave us a bad greasy feeling afterwards! Churros come with a side of dipping chocolate as they can not be eaten alone in our opinion. These may be how authentic churros are, I am use to the non greasy, flavored churros sold in the states. Coffee was not good either, it was bitter with a weird aftertaste even though it came with milk : ( The service was disappointing, we had to walk up to the front several times to let them know we are still waiting for items. I felt like they did not give us attention because we were tourists, however my husband spoke Spanish and we were very kind. read more

Great local cafe, good coffee and churros!! It was already super crowded when we got there and for good reason! Mix of locals and tourists

Thanks to my checkin app, i'm getting around to reviewing this place. And it reminds me to come back here, especially after seeing all the other great reviews. we stopped here for a few beers while waiting to meet up with some mates. But it's the server who comes to mind in this review. He was so funny and he sang. Basically anyone in Spain who smiles and serves food and drinks gets 5 stars. Normally service comes with bitter hate. Service here is terrible. But the waiters here are great! Note to self: must come back read more

Beware! The best and the worst! First visit it was the best chocolate (thick and not too sweet) and crispy non-greasy churros I had ever had. Second visit the next day was less than average. Thin tasteless chocolate and doughy greasy churro she! I sent them back and they were just as bad second time around. I actually went back a third time because the first time was the best ever. And, they were fantastic again and the waiter Jose Miguel was attentive, friendly, and helpful. Overall, pretty hit and miss and I assume they need to fire one of the chefs. Go on the right days and it is outstanding. read more

Casa Aranda is supposedly the best place to get churros in Malaga, and it seemed to be the only place as it was packed all hours of the day. We got the to-go option and walked to a nearby plaza to eat. Here's the thing - these were some of the better churros we had in the south, but they still weren't great. They're basically large greasy dough strips (think funnel cake without sugar) and the chocolate tastes like it comes from a mix, not melted chocolate. If you aren't heading anywhere else in Spain, give this spot a try. Otherwise, save your churro eating for another town. read more

Easy to miss!! But don't miss it! This place is super casual, tables outside, locals with papers, and two/three items on their menu. One is their sandwich which has ham, an gooey cheese and tomato. The other is their churros, who locals love as much as tourists do. The prices are fair, and the food taste fresh as they make it to order. Def recommend this place for a good breakfast. It will set to the tone for an awesome day! read more
