Ikigai is one of my favorite places to go for coffee and breakfast in Estepona. With its amazing location, high-quality food, and uplifting team, you’ll be sure to enjoy it, too!

It’s a good choice is you’re vegetarian or vegan as they have a few vegetable based options.

Ikigai is also my favorite place to enjoy a smoothie as they have a selection of some of the best smoothies in Estepona.

Highly Recommended!

I got the smoked salmon poke bowl and it was delicious. I didn’t even need the dressing because the ingredients were so good.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch here during our very first visit to Estepona. We were absolutely delighted by the warm and genuinely friendly staff, as well as the delicious food. Dining at Ikigai feels like a dream – with a perfect view and a truly relaxing atmosphere. Every wish was anticipated and fulfilled with such care.
Thank you so much ✌🏻

One of the best locations in Estepona!

Situated right on the front Ikigai is in a great location.

Ikigai has plenty of tables outside beautifully made up with Hamian style parasoles

  • Deck chairs on the beach
  • Very easy to get to

When the weather is great you’ll need to arrive early or make a reservation to ensure you get a table.

    I have been there last summer, and I was extremely pleasantly surprised that I finally had a perfect coffee in Estepona.
    The food, desserts, and drinks were absolutely incredibly tasty!
    My daughter ate the best pancakes, and we enjoyed the sea view together!
    I definitely recommend Ikigai wholeheartedly!

    My first visit yesterday and I loved it. The servers are very friendly, the food is so very healthy and fresh and very well presented. The location is just perfect, almost on the beach. I would give 4/5 or 9/10 but the only reason I reserve top marks is the stalks were left on the strawberries in the porridge. Maybe they think it looks prettier but they are not edible so you have to put your fingers in your porridge to remove them.
    The porridge was served with a soup spoon. This is not a complaint it is customer feedback.
    I noticed there is a message on the bill stating tip not included. Its the first time I have seen this in Spain. The pricing is high end but the quality is worth it.
    I will definitely be going back with friends.
