Such a lovely little café. The staff were so heartwarmingly friendly, the coffee was good (with a very sweet oat milk, which isn’t really my taste, but still fine), and it’s also possible to order to go. That’s what we did at first, but then we even happened to find a parking spot, so we decided to stay for a short while and enjoy the coffee outside in the sun at a little table in front of the café.

Beautiful charming café on a Darling little square. Outdoor seating, books in English and owner speaks English as well. Staff was just lovely. I was made to feel so welcome and the coffee is the best I had in Valladolid.

The food is quite nice, but the option of Puchero specialty coffee is the best thing here. It's a bit expensive for Valladolid (closer to Madrid prices) but I'm happy this kind of place is finally here! The owners were quite friendly and there's a relaxed vibe.

This is the best coffee in Castilla y León and the cutest spot in Valladolid, it's a must try if you're here. The girl that runs the café is so warm and welcoming!

Franela makes the best coffee in Valladolid, if this cafe was in a trendy suburb of Melbourne, it would have a waiting line of regular eager customers stretching out the door. If you're a wandering Australian trying to find a silky flat white that won't ruin your tastebuds during your Spanish culinary adventure trip, then it doesn't matter where you're staying in the city, immediately make your way directly here, and start your day properly. An absolute delight and brightened my whole stay. 2025 Update: a year later, still exceptionally excellent, and Franela has grown to open "Preseta" a kiosk near the Plaza Major - check it out!
