I love the original Ikigai and have been visting it on an almost daily basis for coffee and smoothies.

This place is slightly different to the one on the Paseo as it has much more inside space, is situated in a more peaceful part of town and has a slightly different menu.

However, it still has the same excellent service, delicious food and friendly, welcoming service.

If you’ve not visited yet, you must try it!

If you like Ikigai on the Paseo you’ll love it here too!

I was in the mood for something light and healthy and I came across Ikigai Tribe Cafe after a quick google map search. I was immediately greeted as soon as I walked in, and seated at a nice table. My server was very kind, and graciously spoke to me in excellent English due to my lack of Spanish. I ordered an Americano and the açaí bowl. I have eaten lots of açaí in many different countries, and this was hands down the best açaí I’ve ever had. It wasn’t the thin and watery açaí you sometimes get, but rather was thick and almost had a creamy like texture despite it being loaded with fruit. The bowl was also loaded with the perfect blend of different fruits and granola. Just an overall delightful breakfast and a great place to meet up with friends. If I come back to Estepona, I will be returning to this cafe.
