Horchatería Santa Catalina | A Taste of Tradition

Come and visit us at Horchatería Santa Catalina a historic institution in Valencia, operating for over two centuries as one of the city's most iconic spots for traditional treats. Located in the heart of the Ciutat Vella district next to the Santa Catalina Church, it is widely celebrated for its authentic horchata and churros con chocolate, served within a beautifully preserved interior featuring hand-painted ceramic tiles from Manises.

The menu focuses on traditional Valencian refreshments and pastries:

• Horchata de Chufa: A refreshing, milky drink made from locally grown tiger nuts, water, and sugar. It is served chilled and can be ordered in liquid or "granita" (slushy) form.
• Fartons: Elongated, glazed sweet buns specifically designed for dipping into horchata. They are available plain or filled with custard or chocolate.
• Chocolate con Churros: Thick, rich Spanish hot chocolate served with crispy, deep-fried churros.
• Seasonal Treats: During festivities like Fallas, we serve buñuelos (pumpkin fritters). We also sell various types of traditional turrón (nougat) and local orange blossom honey.
