When we went it was busy, but we were able to get a table right away. Since they are known for their horchata and fartons, it was easy to know what to order. The horchata was refreshing, not overly sweet and not heavy on the cinnamon like it is back in the US. The farton we dipped in the horchata. It was light, airy, warm and fresh. It doesn't have a ton of flavor but it's still tasty. On our second visit, we got the churros and chocolate. We only tried a couple different ones on our trip but the churros here were my favorite. Crunchy outside, soft on the inside, and the chocolate was the perfect level of sweetness for me. Overall, a great spot for a quick dessert, and would definitely eat here again if I was back in Valencia

I was going to another recommended Horchata spot and our Hotel changed my mind and insisted…read moreCatalina was the best one to visit. As I approached, it was clear this was the spot. They were busy with multiple people taking pictures of the entrance. They have two levels but only the 1st level was being used. I was seated immediately close to the entrance. I didn't see any outdoor seating. Beautifully decorated with Valencia/Spanish tiles throughout. I ordered the specialty Horchata and Bunuelos. Horchata is served cold and is dairy free (although it seems like it has Dairy) and was a bit too sweet for me but definitely one to try. Bunuelos was tasty and had more of a donut texture. They also had Churros and a few other pastries along with Hot Chocolate and Ice Cream. Service was quick and friendly. A good mix of Locals and Tourists. Definitely a must Valencia stop!

It's a tiny shop right next to the church in the center of the square. There was a little bit of a line but it moved quickly. We both got two flavors with pistachio being one and we both loved it. I had chocolate with mine and my friends was a fruit flavor that I don't recall the name of. We sat outside on a stone wall and people watched while enjoying the beautiful afternoon in Valencia before heading back to our airbnb.

After having hard time deciding what to order, since the selection is mind blowing, we went for a giant slice of strawberry cheese cake and chocolate cake. Both very ritch, creamy and flavorful. We ordered coffee and tea to wash it all down. Total bill came down to around 10€. An excellent value for the quality and portion size. 3.5€ per slice. This is a must stop for people with a sweet tooth. Offering food branches as well.

Mind you, his coworker was working inside, not outside.

I got some chocolates to take home and they game me some for free. They have bocadillos, coffee, tea and of course desserts that focus on chocolate. Chocolate mousse, fondue, helado (ice cream), sundaes, crepes, cakes, bon bons, etc. I ordered chocolate con churros - perfection! The chocolate is slightly thinner than Chocolateria San Gines' but yummier and the churros are thicker. I noticed everyone dining here was given their bill with their food but I didn't. So, I waited and waited until I couldn't wait much longer. I walked up to the person at the register and paid. I could've easily walked away without paying but I might have to come back here tomorrow and don't want to be banned.

The restaurant is, as I mentioned, a modern place amongst a beautifully ancient city. The menu seems to be granolaly, aka crunchy or of a pseudo hipster flavor if you know what I mean. Nevertheless, the food is quite good. From the oaky flavored, thick French toast to the honey yogurt granola bowl and the scrambled eggs, this place has something for everyone. For instance, my son makes picky eaters look like gluttons. Though, here he thoroughly enjoyed the French toast. Additionally, the menu is in both English a Spanish, and if that's not good enough, the wait staff speak both languages as well. However, the only complaint I have toward the food is that the scrambled eggs are more runny than I prefer and the bread could be a little less toasted. Overall, this is a pretty good place with decent food at moderate prices. I'd return and enjoy another meal if in town, but this time I'd try something other than the eggs. Enjoy. P.S. you pay for your meal at the front register not at your table.
