La terrasseA-

C. Puerto Viejo, 29, 38400 Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain · Cafeteria

Charming cafe-bar for standout mojitos, sangria, and budget-friendly bites; great hospitality, but laptop lingering and occasional service brusqueness can frustrate.

The verdict

La terrasse delivers solid neighborhood cafe-bar quality through strong food quality in croissants and sandwiches paired with attentive owner-led hospitality and exceptional mojitos. The quiet pedestrian setting creates genuine appeal, though modest space and occasional service delays prevent grade A territory. Excellent value and loyal repeat clientele confirm reliable execution within its casual cafe-tapas category.

About this restaurant

Set on a quiet pedestrian lane, this small terrace feels warm and relaxed. Guests rave about ice-cold sangria and made-to-order mojitos, with an owner who chats, translates, and shares island tips. "We walked back daily for drinks," sums up the friendly hospitality vibe. The cooking leans traditional cafe-tapas: croissants, €3.5 bocadillos, olives, and a cheese board, plus the local barraquito coffee. The culinary approach is comfort-first and unfussy: simple ingredients, well-prepared, great value alongside standout cocktails. For families, the menu is naturally kid-friendly: plain croissants, ham-and-cheese sandwiches, and mild tapas. Drinks shine for adults, while prices stay gentle. Heads-up: long laptop sessions on one coffee may be curtailed, so plan work time elsewhere.
