Café Fútbol

An absolute must if you’re in Granada. The churros here are outstanding—honestly, I think they’re the best churros I’ve ever had. Fresh, perfectly crispy, and paired with rich hot chocolate… unreal. We kept thinking about them long after we left, and ended up visiting multiple times. That said, everything else we tried was great too. The English breakfast and toast hit the spot and the sandwiches were solid across the board as well. The service deserves a shoutout as well. The place was always popular and pretty crowded, but even when it was packed, the service was fast, friendly, and efficient. We went multiple times during our stay, sitting both outside and inside, and it was consistently excellent.

Undoubtedly the best churros in Granada. I’d seen this place pop up on a few travel blogs, but the real push came when a staff member at La Bella Meri said, “You have to go to Cafe Fútbol”, when I asked for some churros. They were right. Crispy and salty churros, impossibly rich hot chocolate make them easily the best I’ve had anywhere in 🇪🇸.

Best churros in Granada! Cafe right off a cute park near the center. Totally worth it to wander off the tourist path a bit. Everything is homemade, including ice cream. Wonderful service, and even gave us a free taste of turron flavored ice cream.

Wow. Great place. There was a line for the terrace but we ate inside immediately. Great classic ambiance inside. Really creative menu for churros and other foods. The service was very relaxed and friendly.

Myself and my two daughters came across Cafe Futbol after having a bad experience in another cafe and we were amazed at not only the quality of the food but the fantastic customer service. Concha and the team of staff were so friendly and helpful. They made us feel so welcome and recommended some great dishes to us while telling us about the history of the cafe. We tried the infamous churros and they were absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend this place for breakfast lunch or dinner, especially the sweet treats they have. Concha was just fantastic she gave us so many recommendations of things to do around Grenada, she is a mindful of information! Thank you Concha and the team at Cafe Futbol! ❤️

Very traditional and iconic 103 year old cafe. Leche rizada, chocolate churros and coffee highly recommended. Great for kids to run around too.

Naseem was so kind and friendly. His English was amazing. He said he never studied it but learned through video games and friends he met online through gaming. We had the chocolate and churros which was delicious!

Great selection of meats. Small plate of paella on the house. Croquettes were fab, husband wasn’t so keen on the broken eggs. Prefers it with potatoes as oppose to chips.

Food wasn't great Avo toast had no avocado, they should call it : avocado spread. The hot chocolate was a huge disappointment, it looked like chocolate pudding, the texture was very weird, couldn't even taste it. The service was ok, the waiters tried their best to do their job.

We came for breakfast at this place and the service was horrible. The waiter was super frazzled and overworked. The cafe was full with only two waiters. I ordered the English breakfast with over-easy eggs and no sausage. They brought me over cooked eggs and undercooked bacon. I even told the waiter and he said, "they are just overcooked" and didn't offer to bring me the correct plate. I just couldn't eat these food. He didn't bring the juice either that was included with our order. Very poor service.

Cafe Futbol was a fun place to have breakfast, before we went to the Parque de las Ciencias. We got their churros because we heard they had really good ones, and they were! The chocolate wasn't too sweet or heavy compared to some other places. We also got the American breakfast for some protein and it was a pretty typical American breakfast. It was really busy when we arrived but the two of us got a table quite quickly on their outdoor patio/plaza. The servers were really busy too but still made time to be friendly. Payment was inside and when the woman found out we spoke English she explained the history of the place and name which was really interesting, and it was her family's cafe. She also really sold their ice cream which we were unfortunately unable to get back for, but next time I'm in Granada I will definitely be eating here again!

早就听说西班牙油条和中国油条很像。我们在巴塞罗那和马德里的酒店早餐和路边摊都吃过，觉得不过尔尔，形神都不像的，直到我们来到了Café Fútbol。这个咖啡馆在城中间，离我们的酒店不过三分钟。走过来三个人点了两份油条和热巧克力，一人一种饮料，咖啡卡布奇诺和橘汁，还有一种据说是Granada 特有甜点Piononos。油条一上来我们就知道点多啦！两大盘，拿起来咬一口，热泪纵横！两个原因，烫着啦（真的是新鲜炸的！也因为这就是我离家去国二十年心心念念的油条味儿。以前在美国吃的油条哪怕是早餐店里的都是先做好再回炸的，这个脆而不焦的口感一吃就知道是现炸的！我和先生就单吃油条了。巧克力酱也很香浓，女儿正好一个人喜滋滋地蘸着吃个够。这个油条真真是解乡愁了，要是再粗一些两半一根就如假包换了。我回来查了一下，西班牙油条和中国油条是有些渊源的。 咖啡和卡布奇诺是我在西班牙尝过的最好的。 橘汁沁心地甜。这个意料之中，我们在安娜露琪亚买的橙子非常非常甜。 Piononos对我们是个新鲜口味，顺便Google了它背后的故事。只有Granada有呢。 下午的三点店里还是很多人。有不少老头老太太，一看就是这里是他们的社交据点。 写这个review的时候又查了一下这个店的历史，才知道这是一家名副其实的百年老店。 https://www.granadadigital.es/cafe-futbol-100-anos-de-historia-entre-desayunos-y-meriendas/ 想到这家店经历了一战二战，经历了西班牙第二共和国和内战，还在这个角落做着一样的服务，心里很感慨，也为我们一家人能满足口腹之欲的同时增添了一份精神食粮。 在Granada的第二天我们又来啦！这次专攻油条！ 还有：服务员很帅，有着恰到好处的热情。

uniquely bad experience. My partner and I sat right near the entrance with clear view of the staff. We ordered coffee, tea, and churros -- what seems to be a regular order at this place. After 30 minutes of waiting, we realized they forgot the order. "Ok, maybe they are busy/ it's an honest mistake," we thought. We ordered again and it took them ~15 minutes to deliver the food and drinks. After we were done, we asked politely for the check. It took them ~20 minutes to deliver it, and we had to ask twice for it. In fact, at first they delivered no check and just told me to pay 5.80 Euro (???). When I asked again to see the check, they delivered it, but instead of coffee it had another drink with the same price (???). By this time, we definitely didn't feel welcomed, so I just took the check inside so we don't have to wait another 20 minutes. I understand mistakes happen and there are cultural differences / language barrier, but we've never experienced something like this, be it in Europe, Asia, or the US. There were many before us who were served and went on their day while we had to wait more than an hour for a simple order, while being 3 meters from the staff. We were left puzzled by what felt like purposeful negligence directed toward us. I urge the people working there to consider how it would feel if they receive this treatment when visiting another city. So it was a uniquely bad experience for us, hopefully others will have better luck.

We spotted this place because it has a nice location in the plaza and they said it was ok for us to just order wine and sit outside (another place told us we had to order food too in order to be seated). We waited about 15 minutes to order and were never offered a menu. Not wanting to wait longer than we had to, we just asked for white wine. The waiter was both disinterested and aloof in assisting us. While we were waiting, another waiter (much nicer) brought us a tapas plate. We tried to refuse it, thinking he brought it in error but he said it was standard if guests ordered drinks they brought you a tapa. We weren't hungry but tried it anyway. It was a montedito with tiny crispy French fries. I tried one bite and was immediately repulsed. My friend opened the sandwich and it appeared to be canned tuna mixed with salmorejo. The combination was not great. At this point we are still waiting and I'm spotting this waiter serving everyone around us but us. Finally after waiting 20 minutes the nicer waiter brought us the two glasses of wine and the bottle of water that my friend ordered. Wine was just ok. We immediately decided to try and flag down our waiter so we could pay. We still tried to get his attention but he kept ignoring us. Don't go here if you are not from Spain you will not be met with kindness!

We heard their churros are amazing, so we gave them a try late one night, and yes, the churros are amazing. Four of us split 2 orders, and it still turned out to be way too many churros, so I recommend splitting between at least 3 people. The churros are big, doughy, and generously fried, reminding us Americans of a typical carnival snack. But they're so satisfying to eat, either dipped in chocolate or rolled in some sugar. Really glad to have tried the churros here. Cheap, huge, and delicious.

Rich chocolate and churros are the best. Ask for cup of water since it will be fillingz

Great "local" ambiance with locals popping in and out, decently sized with enough space for a stroller, very decently priced, nice strong coffee and good overall quality of food. Cafe Futbol is the perfect what you'd expect Spanish/European plaza breakfast spot and it won't disspoint especially if you just want some cappuccino, hot chocolate, and churros. Side note: Ice cream here is actually pretty decent, not the best, but if you're craving some and are close by Cafe Futbol will fill your need.

Great place Best chocolate and churros Very nice atmosphere Our waiter Manuel was amazing

Churros, churros, churros! Y con chocolate! The only reason we used to go here. Simply the best around.

Got the churros and chocolate dip. The chocolate dip was more of a sauce than melted chocolate. The churros were pretty good. Our cappuccinos were decent. Service was ok in a relatively non-busy time. We may return just for the variety of the desserts.

I tried the Churro and Chocolate at this place because of good reviews that I read in Yelp and Trip Advisor. In my opinion, they were not that great like what other people raved about. I ordered a portion of Churro (6 pieces for 1.50 Euro) and hot chocolate as dipping (2 Euro). I was only able to eat 1.5 of the churro. Half portion of churro (3 pieces for 1 Euro) is also available if you just want to feed your curiosity of this Spanish snack/dessert.

By far the worst restaurant we visited in Spain, and certainly one of the worst I've ever had the misfortune of being at. Worst service of all time. For starters, the waiter took the orders of each table around us, and ignored my friend and I who said (in Spanish) we were ready to order. Each of the four tables around us were served before he even took our order. We finally ordered and it took another 25 minutes to get our glass of bitter house white wine. When we asked for the check, again in Spanish, our waiter stared blankly at me. You'll be shocked to read that instead of bringing the check, he helped the new round of customers as he was chewing a sandwich. Taking orders with his mouth full- so gross. Another table of Americans sat down and he threw a menu at one of them. After several unsuccessful attempts to get our check, we put money on the table and started walking away. Immediately, he started running after us yelling. He ignored us for over 45 minutes but was obviously aware of us. It seemed very much that he was ignoring us because we are American, despite us speaking solely in Spanish.

This cafe has a reputation for having the best churros con chocolate in Granada, but in my opinion, they are only second best. Still, if you are in the Realejo neighborhood, you should grab a breakfast of churros here. If you are going to be in Centro, then don't bother making the trek here.

Great churros service ok, coffee is the worst I've had but it's worth it for the churros!

As a restaurant, this is just ok. We sat outdoors on a very hot day. Our waiters looked miserable because of the heat. The menu just features typical tapas and bocadillos and just mediocre prices. The quality of the food matches the price. However, their specialty are the sweets. We got granizados (like a juice slushy) which was a perfect refreshment on such a hot day. We also suggest the ice cream. They have a whole page or 2 of ice cream treats. They are delicious. I got the Colombia, which is a coffee slushy, topped with coffee ice cream, topped with whipped cream. Delicious.

We ordered the churros con chocolate after the recommendation of our friend and we were very disappointed. The waiter was rushed to fill our order even though we were one of the only ones in the restaurant. He basically ordered four orders for us and that was waaayyyy to much. A family of four could have done with 2 order. The chocolate was actually pretty good but the churros left more to be desired. The waiter also took a long time to get the check and even ignored us asking once when hardly no one else was there! Food was okay but the service was horrible.

absolutely amazing churros, the best I've had in my month in Granada. Service is a bit slow, one is better off sitting inside so you can just walk up to the counter and ask for what you want instead of waiting on a waiter.

Omelette was bland, salad was ice berg lettuce. Understaffed, ordered churros con chocolate yet they never came out so after a hour, we left.

Great place to hang out and get a drink- or dessert! The best ice cream and fancy desserts ever. Comfortable and open spot, too. Would definitely highly recommend. Get the churros and chocolate, too! :)

The churros are absolutely great but the coffee is lacking. There is great outdoor seating and the waiters are usually pretty helpful but I wouldn't consider this a place that everyone must go to while in Granada. A mix of locals and tourists can be seen here during the high times of the day.

This is a classic restuarant amongst the locals and after frequenting it often while studying abroad here in spring 2013, I can understand why. I hated seeing the tourist trap-like restaurants in the city center and this is worth one's money than the latter. My orders have ranged from churros con chocolate to paella and I never had a bad experience with the food. The service is on the slow side, but that's the only con I have with this place.

Lots of people prefer Los Italianos for ice cream and I'm not saying that they are not good but I have always preferred the ice cream from El Cafe Futbol
