Why Visit JARA?

With an assortment of dishes that delight the palate, JARA offers abundant options that cater to both traditional tastes and modern dietary preferences. Start your day with a savory toast, an inviting choice celebrated by customers like Trachemysta, who praised the "rich and plentiful" toast selection that won't break the bank. The unique creations, such as the “tostada del concurso,” highlight the fusion of local flavors, combining refreshing melon and delicate gazpacho that simply sings of summer.

Moreover, for those who lean towards plant-based choices, JARA has you covered! Wesley Pechler expresses joy over their vegan options, particularly the oat milk for lattes — a rarity in Badajoz that embodies JARA's commitment to inclusivity and taste.

The outdoor terrace is particularly enchanting, allowing you to enjoy your meal while soaking in the beauty of the plaza.

Vinimos a este bar a desayunar y fue todo un acierto. Buen ambiente, servicio súper amable, un montón de opciones, con unas tostadas riquísimas, muy abundantes y a un precio irrisorio. Además, la terracita en la plaza es muy agradable. De 10.

They have oat milk for vegan lattes! Glad to find a coffee with plant based milk in Badajoz. They were open at 13.10 on a Tuesday so opening hours on Google might be incorrect

Muy buen café en una plaza preciosa. Desayunar temprano junto al edificio de la Giralda, Las Tres Campanas y la ermita de La Soledad es un placer. La tostada del concurso de este año es muy refrescante con el melón y el gazpacho.

The best place in Badajoz, the waiter with the tattoo is so friendly and nice and the only reason to visit Badajoz again

Quiet, unpretentious, welcoming cafe on a pretty square. For me, the reason to keep coming back here isn't the coffee or cakes or (extremely sweet) smoothies, but the location, the laid-back vibe, the extremely friendly owner with his trademark whistle, and the other lovely staff.
