Horchatería Santabárbara
A neighborhood horchatería with tradition, where you will be surprised by its posters and murals dedicated to Valencian folklore. “Valencia, how beautiful you are” reads one of the walls, while you taste a horchata with fartons or some fritters with chocolate.

Horchatería Vida
In the middle of the orchard of Alboraya we find a farmhouse in which there is not only horchata. Different animals accompany us during the snack in this family enclave dating from the nineteenth century. It also has its own vegetable garden and is one of the best experiences to combine horchata with history and nature in Valencia.

One of the best known horchaterias in Valencia. It is in the neighborhood of Benimaclet, next to the Ronda Norte and serves its own recipe of horchata with baked fartons. It also has a pleasant terrace to enjoy the breeze in summer.
📍 Carrer del Sarcet, 6.
Vachata
The latest addition to this list is Vachata, a very modern horchatería (horchatería) that emerged from the ruzafa neighborhood by mid-2020.

L’Obrador de Bou
It is the cathedral of the artisan and ecological horchata. The Bou family has been dedicated to the cultivation of the tigernut since 1946 and that can be seen even in the sediment in the glass of horchata. Theirs is a horchata made with organically grown tigernuts from the garden near the beach. They sow it, harvest it and produce this white gold of the Mediterráneo in full view of the whole world thanks to their glassed-in workshop in the horchatería.

Horchatería Santa Catalina
One of the oldest in the city. It may be a bit pricey, but it’s worth it. Spend an afternoon to refresh yourself with its horchata, its fartons, and its wonderful decoration that continues to be maintained over the years.
📍 Plaça de Santa Caterina, 6.
Sequer Lo Blanch
An oasis in the middle of the orchard of Alboraia. Their fartons de horno and horchata are great after a day at the beach in Patacona. The ideal stop on your way home.
📍 Camí Fondo, 23 (Alboraia).
Horchatería Daniel
It is a bit like the Mecca of horchata and there is no weekend that its terrace is not full. This year they celebrate their 71st anniversary, which is soon to be said. A space that has been around for so many years can’t be bad.
📍 Av. l’Orxata, 41 (Alboraia).
Panach
If Daniel is the Madrid of horchata, Panach is like FC Barcelona. The two most famous establishments in Alboraia maintain a (healthy) struggle for quality and tradition and we, the customers, are very grateful for it. Its horchata has reached the shelves of Carrefour, so it must be said that it is very popular. Try their panachocs.
📍 Av. l’Orxata, 19 (Alboraia).
El Collado
Supertypical. Yes, it’s the horchatería your grandmother used to take you to when summer started. Go there and have a fresh horchata that will take you back to those carefree summer days, and don’t forget to order their famous fritters!
