Super cool mixed use space that balances a coffee shop/cafe, book store, bar & local hangout. The atmosphere & service was fantastic & the drinks/coffees were really good. The food was ok, the vegan croquettes were not our favorite but that’s more our preference. Overall would highly recommend to anyone who likes a relaxing atmosphere to have solo time or stimulating conversations with friends.

Delightful decor, friendly service, super atmosphere and well-priced. Ideal for a coffee or drink. They offer decaffeinated coffee also which is a bonus!

Lovely vegetarian and vegan food. Flavorful and moist falafel. The burger was fantastic as well. Highly recommend for lunch.

It was close to Easter. I finally met my Spanish classmates from years ago. I understand why she recommended it. There are so many picture books and the croquettes was amazing. Crunchy and beautifully made. It matches the beer so well! I highly recommend it.

Food Quality: only tried a cheesecake but this was very nice. Will have to try some other meals as well. Portions: nice slice of cake Drinks: a few interesting options and cocktails. Price: $-$$ decent prices in general Service: very friendly Atmosphere: interesting book store / cafe place. Highlights: cool location for an aperitivo Payment Method: CC, cash

Food was quite decent. I suspect that the orange juice I received was not from fresh oranges, but I didn't ask. The rest of the food I tried was quite good. They have nice places to work on a laptop with electric plugs

It’s very popular among the international students and expats for its cozy and cheerful atmosphere. Orders are taken by the waitress on the table, not on the bar. I appreciate its wide range of beverages. Everyone could find his own favorite.

An absolute dream!!! Vegetarian/vegan friendly, great ambiance, friendly staff, full bar and books galore! I stayed in the neighborhood for a couple of days and could not leave without a stop here. My absolute favorite stop in Russafa!

Cozy, charming, and delicious. When in Rusafa, be sure to pop in and enjoy some vermut and vegan/veggie- friendly bites. Lovely patio, as well!

Very unique and original spot with great food. Nice atmosphere. Lots of personality.

My favorite place in Ruzafa. Good atmosphere for a work and for a spend time with friends. Love it!

I have been many times to Ubik in the evening to have a drink (wines and Italian "aperol Sprits" and sometimes a snack. It´s a place where locals meet. In Ubik you can always find expositions and book, on Sundays they have concerts and during the week you can find different activities like winetastings etc. Today I had the menu of the day, for 8 euro you can have lunch. I had a cowl salad, salmon and lemon cheese cake. Very good value for your money

One of the most emblematic places in Ruzafa, in not the entire Valencia, Ubik is rarely seen not bustling with people. Laid back atmosphere, great coffee and drinks make it a popular destination for everything between first dates and unofficial business meetings. Bring spare change - Ubik doubles as a used book store in mostly Spanish, but also English, French and German languages. Just remember, don't take the books to the table without buying them first. A kid corner enables parents to hang out their friends without sacrificing anything. There is also a small street patio.

This cafe was everything I could have hoped for in Valencia, something I would have expected maybe from El Born in Barcelona but certainly not here. It's the perfect study spot, a beautiful atmosphere. Reminiscent of the kind of coffee shop you'd find on the west coast USA--perfect for a homesick student. We kept our orders simple when we went and ordered cafes con leche. They were good, maybe a little heavy on the milk but I'm not crazy for strong coffee as is. Overall, this cafe was exactly what I was looking for and a welcome respite from the usual Spanish bar/cafe format.

I stopped for dinner so I can't speak to the drinks; however, the food was fantastic! I had a focaccia sandwich with sausage and cheese, as well as a raw salmon salad. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was great with books and good music!

Great atmosphere to sit back and enjoy an afternoon. Great coffee and lunch menu as well. The salame de chocolate was soooo good.

After wandering the streets of this Valencian neighbourhood seeking a restaurant that wasn't closed during siesta hours, we stumbled upon this little gem. Started with a cheap but soothing bottle of local red wine and followed that up with bruchetas and ensaladas. My girlfriend found the bruchetas great and found they had a nice little 'crunch' to their bite. We didn't look much at the books for sale here. Decent collection though. Nice patio. Fresh air. Biblioteca vibes.
