During our stay in El Medano, we went to the Swell Cafe almost every morning. Pablo is super friendly and quietly makes the best coffee in the area. The cakes and sandwiches were also great. Absolutely recommendable!!

I can highly recommend this café! The coffee is great, I really like the fresh toasts. Besides it's cool if you have breakfast there in the morning and in the afternoon you go windsurfing with the owner :-) For me also really important is the cleanliness which is very high.

Perfectly made cappuccino and really inviting atmosphere. Love the paintings on the walls! Highly recommend. I come here twice a week and haven’t found the same chill vibe anywhere else.

The Cappuccino with oat milk is very good balanced. I really enjoyed it several times by now, there were no exceptions in quality
