Toast and gluten-free bread on the shore at Castillo de Mar

Cafetería Royal is a café and bakery in the Castillo de Mar development, at km 5 of La Manga, within the municipality of San Javier. Its terrace sits right on the shore of Mar Menor, and it is a breakfast spot: it opens every morning and closes at lunchtime.

Breakfast

Toast is the star dish, with several breads to choose from, and rolls and ColaCao are also mentioned. There is gluten-free bread for people with coeliac disease, described as very good by those who have tried it, plus some gluten-free cakes.

  • Toast with a variety of breads
  • Gluten-free bread
  • Rolls
  • Cakes

It is not among the cheapest breakfasts nearby, as several reviews mention, although most feel the quality and views make up for it.

Dogs and the terrace

Pets are welcome, something appreciated by those having breakfast with their dog. The terrace faces the sea and is the first thing visitors highlight, alongside the waitresses' service.

Opening hours

Open every day of the week, mornings only. The entrance and parking are accessible, and you can pay by card or mobile. More breakfast spots in bars and cafés in La Manga.

    The best place for a mid-morning meal. The baguette sandwiches are huge
