Tetería Zaidín is a tea house with a plant-filled patio garden at Calle Granada 16, a step from Plaza Cavana and about 200 metres from the Balcón de Europa. It is one of the best-rated places in Nerja: 4.8 on Google from more than 1,500 reviews and 4.7 on Tripadvisor. It recently moved premises but has kept its usual atmosphere.
What to order. Generous breakfasts, fresh juices, a wide range of teas and coffees and home-made cakes; also filled rolls, sandwiches and, in the evening, cocktails. It is one of the cheapest places in the centre: under €10 per person.
Opening hours. Monday to Friday it opens in the morning (9:00-16:00) and in the evening (from 19:00, Thursday from 20:30, until 1:30). On Saturdays it opens only in the evening from 19:00, and on Sundays from 22:00.
Good to know. Cash only. With few staff, service can be slow, and late in the day some cakes run out. What reviews mention most is the owner's warm welcome and the calm of the patio, a little oasis right in the centre. More cafés in our guide to cafés in Nerja.
