What makes the Vanilla Cafe stand out
The Vanilla Cafe works like two venues in one. Until early afternoon there’s breakfast, repeatedly praised in reviews as one of the best in Torremolinos, plus coffee that one guest calls the best in town. In the evening it turns into a cocktail bar, with live music at weekends.
The terrace looks directly onto the main square of La Nogalera, and the other gay bars of the district are just a few steps away. Guests praise the moderate prices.
Atmosphere and crowd
The crowd is mostly bearish and rather mature, while the bar staff are young. The friendly, attentive service and the warm atmosphere get particular praise. At weekends it gets busy in the evening, so it’s worth reserving for dinner.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for breakfast in the middle of the gay district
- feel at home in the bear and daddy scene
- like live music on the terrace at the weekend
Not ideal if you …
- expect a young club crowd
- want to stay on after 2 am
