Price Range €1–10

Coffee On The Square sits quietly on Cl. Jacinto Benavente in the heart of Fuengirola, offering a cozy cafe vibe that feels like a slice of home, especially for visitors and locals craving a taste of the UK. It’s a spot where the casual buzz of the town center meets a hospitality style that's refreshingly relaxed and welcoming.

The cafe's atmosphere is unpretentious with friendly service that encourages regular visits rather than one-off drop-ins. Patrons often come here looking for a comforting cooked breakfast or a no-frills lunch away from the usual Spanish café options. The presence of gluten-free and vegan considerations shows a thoughtful approach to diverse dietary needs, making it easier for a broad range of customers to settle in comfortably.

Breakfast here stands out for those who appreciate hearty portions without a hefty price tag, with especially strong draws for anyone missing British classics — including some surprisingly well-done items like a haggis and cheese toastie. The coffee itself is also noted for being well made, meeting local expectations for a quality brew that complements the food offerings.

Though the interior feels snug and casual, the overall experience is lifted by genuine warmth from the staff, who have roots in Scotland and bring a bit of that cultural flavor to the place. This also seems to build a bit of a niche community around those who want a relaxing morning or lunch spot off the beaten tourist trails.

Visiting in the late morning or lunchtime, when locals and expats settle in for a cooked meal, tends to provide the best sense of the cafe’s character. If you’re in Fuengirola looking for a straightforward, reliable meal with friendly faces, especially a breakfast fix, Coffee On The Square fits naturally into the daily rhythm of the neighborhood.

Great little cafe run by a Scottish woman. If you are missing your cooked breakfasts from back home, this is the place to head for. Staff are very friendly. Food is on point, and coffees are made to perfection. Will definitely be back!

This is without doubt the best uk breakfast in Fuengirola. It changed ownership about a year ago from a Scottish couple and it's new owner is also Scottish. We had the large breakfast at €7.95 which really is a belly buster so if you can't manage that then they offer a small and medium option (€3.95 & €5.95). I'll also add that some members of my family are vegan and asked if they could bring some vegan sausages and potato scones and the cafe duly obliged and cooked them to add to other vegetarian items already available. 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Coffee on the Square is to be found about 200 metres south of the Fuengirola bus station. It is set back from the street in a square... hence the name! There is an extensive breakfast menu ( including various sizes of full English). The main menu offers a choice of burgers, salads, quiches, sandwiches, pizzas and cakes. There is a good selection of drinks. The owners, Janice and Nigel, are on hand to ensure a warm welcome and enjoyable time. Sensible prices. Definitely worth stopping by. On
