About Café Sant Jaume

Café Sant Jaume has served since 1984 in what was a pharmacy opened in 1899, on Calle Caballeros in El Carmen, restored with its old character kept. Come for Agua de Valencia, the city’s cocktail of fresh orange juice, cava and spirits, or the house’s flamed coffee with lemon peel. Open until 1.30am; see the website for each day’s hours.
