Savour the excellence of this hidden gem! A place where the espresso strikes the perfect balance – robust without a hint of bitterness. The menu also offers delicious smoothies and snacks, such as quesadillas, nachos and crepes.
Café Rafá has a quirky, informal personality built around coffee grown by the owner. That direct connection to the beans is one of the strongest recurring themes, and espresso drinks are frequently well received.
The coffee is the clearest reason to visit, while food and other drinks draw more variable reactions. One reviewer found the broader café offering fairly mediocre even while others responded positively to the coffee itself.
The atmosphere is relaxed and distinctive rather than polished. Some reviews raise concerns about cleanliness, traffic noise, and the toilet, so the appeal depends heavily on whether the homegrown coffee and offbeat setting matter more than creature comforts.
