A local friend said they had the best pistachio gelato in Valencia so we had to go check it out…read more There is another shop around the corner that's famous for crazy flavors, but if traditonal flavors is what you're after, then keep walking. 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.

We stopped in to try out their famous horchata, fartons, and churro & hot chocolate…read more When you walk in, depending on the size of your party, one of the waitresses will point you to certain tables to sit at. 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!

Items Selected: Americano…read moreBay Biscuit Mil Hojas Dulce de Leche Alfajores Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Marble Plum Cake with Pears Dark Chocolate and Apple Cake Fancied by locals and tourists alike as one of the best bakeries and breakfast nooks in all of Valencia it was on the first Sunday of a trip to Eastern Spain that a stop was made at Dulce de Leche on Carrer de Jesús, both the scene and the cuisine living up to its praise with service that, despite language barriers, goes above and beyond what is expected to assure each guest a great experience. The more sizable of two locations, another visited just 27-hours later in the city's Ruzafa area far more crowded and loud, guests visiting Dulce de Leche Jesus at any time of day will likely find the café busy and after waiting in a small queue the largest issue is one of deciding what *not* to order from a collection of more than fifty choices, made to order coffee the only things delaying guests from collecting their goods and eating immediately with numbered cards handed out along with an invitation to take a seat as items are plated. Populated with about 90% locals, many of them clearly regulars based on the manner in which they were greeted by staff, it was on the far side of a wooden picnic table that a seat was taken followed by perhaps five minutes wait as a smooth Americano was prepared, the radio overhead American and largely ignorable with the setting shabby-chic and relaxing, a total of six items soon to arrive including a flaky Argentinean "Bay Biscuit" provided complimentary as the young lady at the register had difficulty describing what was essentially laminated dough crusted in Sugar with a savory linger that seemed to be from creamy White Cheese as opposed to Buttermilk. Offering savories in addition to the sweets, the former not really of much interest despite the fact that all of it looked quite nice, Breakfast progressed with two small Alfajores that outperformed those Stateside thanks to both the quality of the Caramel and unsweetened Coconut used for balance, the freshly-made Mil Hojas also quite successful with the Pastry layers still flaky and crisp with the thick Dulce de Leche creating no sog. Almost overwhelming in terms of Cake choices, the American practice of only offering a select-few by the slice completely the opposite as staff was seen cutting large wedges of more than a dozen choices for patrons as early as 08h15, those looking for a truly remarkable Carrot Cake are encouraged to give Dulce de Leche a chance as the traditional sweetness of Pineapple is replaced by bold spicing which allows both Walnuts and grated Vegetables to shine beneath light icing, both the Dark Chocolate with Apple and Marble Plum Cake with Pears eating like "Ooey Gooey" Butter Cake with rich Streusel topping atop a smooth Fruit base.

It is not that common to find this kind of cake shop in Spain. So I would say that this place is…read moreone of a kind! This Argentinian cake shop has amazing cakes and other pastries. Personally I like their carrot cake and any cake that has dulce de leche in it (for someone who has never tried dulce de leche, it is similar to caramel but it is much richer!). In the morning they offer a good deal for breakfast set (2 Euros for a cup of coffee and a piece of toast or bread or croissant!!!). Also they offer lunch menu for 6 Euros. For their drink menu, they have the typical ones that Spain offers and also different kinds of fruit and vegetable juice. For whoever has lactose intolerance, you can ask for lactose-free milk in your coffee! Noted that during las Fallas they offered churros con dulce de leche which I almost died from overconsumption of their churroses.

While the line took a while to advance, once you placed an order your food was quickly ready. The strawberry smoothie was so delicious, not overly sweet but not too tart, it was just right. The cinnamon roll was perfect, nice and fluffy with a slight crunch but it was just right. Croissant looked extremely delicious- I mean all of their pastries looked divine and honestly not overly priced. Their orange juice was also very tasty.

Apparently it's a super known place, old and appreciated in Valencia. They won some award and they are also famous for creating some original flavors like paella, gazpacho, salmon.... Well I'm not so adventurous and as I said I wanted something sweet so I choose something more basic : blueberry ans mango. My enthusiasm ended pretty soon, at the first bite actually, this is just not tasting good...you can barely recognize the flavor because of a strong taste of cream and sugar. I should have guess that seeing the colors ot it, too pale to taste like the real fruit. So, this is more that disappointing...I was really speechless looking at all those people enjoying their ice-cream and I was thinking to myself "Am I too demanding?", it may be because I lived in Italy and had the best ice-cream there...then I try this one another time annnnddd nope! This is just not good at all, I coudn't finish it and it ended in the trash... Conclusion : make yourself your own opinion, and don't trust the crowd, some people just has no taste :)

Unfortunately, everything they serve is ridiculously overpriced... Our coffees (nothing fancy, just black coffee) were the smallest coffees I've ever seen with a price tag more than twice what we had paid the day before in another restaurant. To add insult to injury, they refuse to bring tap water - they'll only serve small bottles of water with pricetags approporiate for gallon jugs. Also, nothing seemed to be included in the cost of the meal; we even had to pay extra to have bread for our cheese board! To be fair, the quality of the food was AOK, but at these prices it should have been a Michelin Star experience
