Welcome to Café Del Abad, an inviting oasis nestled in the heart of Jaén, specifically located at Cam. de las Cruces, 7Z. This charming café embodies the essence of local Spanish cuisine, offering a delightful experience that goes beyond mere dining.

As you step inside, the cozy atmosphere envelops you, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing breakfast. With friendly and approachable staff, including the owner who is renowned for his warm hospitality, you’ll feel like a cherished guest from your very first moment. Daniel Berrios perfectly captured this sentiment in his review, describing it as a "tranquila cafetería" where comfort and kindness reign supreme.

Café Del Abad is particularly famous for its exceptional churros and tostadas. Imagine sinking your teeth into a perfectly fried churro, its golden exterior yielding to a soft, tender inside, ideally paired with a rich cup of chocolate for dipping—a must-try recommended by many fans. The tostadas, generously topped with fresh tomatoes, cheese, and jamón, provide a taste of authentic Spanish flavors that will leave your palate singing. Javi Arteon praises the toast here, declaring it "contundentemente buenas," and with a price that’s almost unbeatable, it’s clear why locals flock to this café.

Perhaps what stands out most is the value you receive; many dishes are highlighted in customer reviews for being both delicious and budget-friendly. For instance, a satisfying meal can cost you as little as €8.40, leaving you plenty of room to indulge in their wide variety of offerings, including gluten-free options. María JM echoes this sentiment, noting the fantastic quality for an astonishingly low price, making it a place you’ll undoubtedly want to revisit.

However, be prepared for a lively atmosphere, especially during breakfast hours when the café fills up with locals enjoying their morning rituals. Whether it’s a quick grab-and-go or a leisurely breakfast with friends, the spirited chatter and aroma of freshly brewed coffee create an unforgettable neighborhood experience, as G Dark aptly describes it. 

If you’re seeking a charming café that combines quality food, friendly service, and incredible value, Café Del Abad is undeniably a gem in Jaén. Come for the churros, stay for the authentic community vibe, and leave with a satisfied appetite and heart. Your next favorite breakfast spot awaits!

Cafetería tranquila ubicada en pleno avenida de las cruces. El dueño me ha parecido una persona muy cercana y agradable. Observé mientras yo desayunaba algunos gestos del dueño de ser humano con los demás y me hizo estar cómodo en ella. No sé si tienen servicio a mesa ya que tuve que acercarme a la barra a pedir e indicar la mesa donde iba a estar, ya que nadie se acercaba. La tostada picadillo gratinado estuvo bien (el queso que usaron fue muy muy suave). El café estaba bueno. Suele estar llena por gente pidiendo churros. Tendré que regresar para probarlos!

Cafetería tranquila, aunque por las mañanas suele estar llena. Cerca del centro, aunque en una zona menos transitada, frente a un centro médico y a un supermercado. Buenos desayunos y trato muy amable. Recomiendo los churros con chocolate

La mejor cafetería de Jaén con diferencia. Raúl es un fiera. Te atienden rápido y todo está muy bueno. Los precios son imbatibles. Además tienen churros, todo tipo de tostadas, pan sin gluten...

El típico bar en el que el desayuno es un arte. Buenísimo el churro (en Madrid sería una super porra). Y las rebanadas de pan tostado con tomate, queso, jamón..., contundentemente buenas.

Hemos parado a desayunar y súper rico todo. Los churros y las rebanadas de pan espectaculares. El camarero muy apañado. Sin duda un sitio para volver a repetir. Nos costó todo lo que se ve en la foto 8.10€!!
