“ Best homemade ice cream and sorbet!! Came here 3 times and it still wasn’t enough! Highly recommend! It’s made on site as well. Friendly staff and clean. ”
“ This place is fantastic! We stopped by on days out walking around for some lunch and a drink and honestly were blown away by how good the food is! The staff are so friendly and lovely and they are always smiling. The atmosphere is brilliant as it feels like you are Al fresco dining still but at the same token in a posh beach bar or somewhere. The views of the beach and sea are great too. Very busy little place but the staff manage well and it adds to the atmosphere. Definitely would recommend and would go again! ”
“ Went here nearly every day of our holiday in May 2024. Not all of the staff spoke English so it was great to practice ordering in Spanish and leaning a bit of Canarian. Food was lovely, service was great - life here is slower than back home. Could soak up the view. Looking forward to coming back . Obviously wasn’t there when the 1 * reviews were left but do wonder if the pace of life and expectations didn’t align. ”
“ Waited a bit to be seated. The waiter was so bored,arrogant,not a smile on his face. young fella. I captured his attention by lifting one hand and he came and took our order.once the order was taken,the food arrived quick. Food is nice,small portions but tasty. Carbonara was small enough but my boyfriend loved it(and believed me he is very fussy ) Burger was cooked lovely. I will definitely return for the food ,but the service leave down the expectations… ”
“ I walked past yesterday and there was a long queue so I didn’t go but today I got seated straight away. The service was perfect, nice, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. Perfect after a morning on the beach. ”
About
Cafe la Bahia
Welcome to Cafe la Bahia, a hidden gem nestled along the picturesque shores of Paseo Playa del Duque in Costa Adeje, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This locale is a culinary oasis that perfectly blends delicious food, a vibrant atmosphere, and stunning beach views.
Patrons rave about the delightful dining experience, with customer Amy Walley sharing how her lunch and drink here exceeded all expectations. She describes the café's inviting environment where al fresco dining feels upscale yet relaxed, complemented by the warm smiles of friendly staff. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy your meal while basking in the beautiful Mediterranean scenery.
One of the highlights at Cafe la Bahia is undoubtedly their homemade ice cream and sorbet, which Francesca Pannullo cannot recommend enough. Made on-site, the creamy delights have captivated visitors, enticing them to return multiple times during a single stay. The dedication to quality and taste is evident in every spoonful.
Despite the occasional wait for seating, as noted by Donna Letremy, once you sit down, the experience flows seamlessly. The rich flavors of the diverse menu items, such as savory pastas and expertly grilled burgers, showcase the culinary skills of the kitchen. Even when the café is bustling, the staff manage to maintain a lively yet organized ambiance, adding to the allure of Cafe la Bahia.
Of course, like any establishment, there are varying experiences. While some diners, like Diane’s Travel, encountered a less-than-stellar service moment, they still appreciated the quality of the food, a testament to the café’s culinary prowess. A reflection of the local culture, as Andrea Fudge points out, the pace of life here is intentionally slower—encouraging you to embrace the ambiance while soaking in the magnificent views.
In conclusion, Cafe la Bahia stands out not just for its delectable dishes but for its ability to create memorable moments against the backdrop of one of Tenerife’s most captivating beaches. If you find yourself wandering near Costa Adeje, make it a priority to stop by and indulge in all that this charming café has to offer.
