What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Wabi Sabi Café & Craft is celebrated for its high-quality artisanal coffee and unique drinks like Matcha and pink lattes, alongside delicious homemade cakes, particularly the carrot cake. Diners consistently praise the friendly service and the cozy, vintage ambiance, making it a gem for both a relaxing stop and a vibrant start to the day. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, one reviewer noted a limited selection of pastries beyond cake and cookies.
"What a find…this place is pretty hidden but such a gem 💎 We stopped at Santander for 1 night to cross the ferry. Great service, the best carrot cake(!!!), fantastic flat white, Matcha and pink latte. We went at night and decided to book again for brunch. Certainly a very very good decision. We had avocado toast, ham/tomato/olive oil toast and granola, plus homemade cake. Plus they are so friendly and welcoming. Must visit for sure 👍🏻"

"Lovely cafe serving a range of breakfast (with veggie and vegan options) and coffee with oat milk. Staff very friendly too. Great to have after a long ferry journey to Santander!"
Claire Martin
"Run by two wonderful ladies - we entered the cafe around the closing time. Both of them were really welcoming, translated the menu for us and served us food. Let us sit on to finish our food and drinks even though it was past their closing time. The food was great, the women/owners were amazing. Really enjoyed the vibe. Wish them continued success and hope to visit them soon"
