Looking for afternoon tea in Valencia? At Chantilly Coffee & Brunch, one minute from City Hall Square, the afternoon has its own ritual: every day from 3:30 to 8 pm it’s tea time — or, as we say in Spain, merienda. Homemade cakes baked daily, specialty coffee, chai, matcha and tea, and a sunny terrace right in the city centre.
From 20 November 2026, after our renovation, we’re open until 8 pm every day — so you can finally enjoy a slow, proper afternoon break with us after sightseeing, shopping or work.

Merienda: Spain’s answer to afternoon tea
In Spain, the afternoon break is called merienda. It’s the moment between lunch and a late Spanish dinner when locals stop for a coffee and something sweet, catch up with friends or simply take a pause. It’s more relaxed than a formal British afternoon tea — it’s about good cake, a good cup and good company. And if you love the classic look, ask for our merienda tower: a tiered stand with finger sandwiches, mini cakes and sweets, perfect for sharing.
If you’re visiting Valencia, joining the locals for merienda is one of the easiest ways to live the city like a valenciano.
