Amazing place with lovely owners. We enjoyed ourselves so much we went almost every morning and we’re even given a glass of local spirit when a birthday was being celebrated. We want to go back to Arriate just to come here again!

On recommendation we visited this small cafe/bar for Churros and we're not disappointed. Friendly service and a good sized portion priced nicely. Thankyou

Lovely little cafe, we visited with our kids for churros (delicious) and coffee (strong). Super friendly staff who were happy to help us struggle through our complete lack of Spanish. Really loved how full it became with locals. Visited a second time for takeaway - please go visit.

Fui a pedirle 5 raciones de churros y me las hizo en un momento, aunque le debería haber avisado antes al pobre hombre. 10/10

Churrería tradicional en Arriate, donde puedes degustar desde unos churros caseros exquisitos hasta unos buenísimos bocadillos y molletes, arriateños y de Montejaque, con los mejores productos locales. Sin duda un lugar perfecto para un buen desayuno.

Great place to grab churros. Portions are large and inexpensive, but SO good. One rational is easily shared. Can dine in or take away.

Magnífica cafetería en Arriate. Se encuentra en el centro del pueblo. Hay que estar atento porque está algo escondida. Quizás haya que esperar un poco para tener mesa, pero merece la pena. Los churros están muy buenos. Buen tamaño, buena cantidad, buena fritura. Tienen una amplia carta de bocadillos con productos tradicionales de la zona y a un buen precio. El café bastante rico. El personal es muy amable y el servicio muy rápido. Repetiremos siempre que estemos por la zona. Lugar recomendable!!
