Horchatería Daniel

Alboraya borders the north of Valencia, but travelling to Avenida de la Horchata 41 turns a city-centre break into a visit to the town associated with tiger nuts. Daniel describes its horchata as artisanal and traces the family business to 1949; the branch on this avenue opened in 1979, according to the company’s history. A cold glass of horchata with fartons sums up the stop: a tiger-nut drink paired with a long, soft pastry for dipping.

The business also serves ice cream, slush drinks and pastries, and visitors often mention its terrace. Reviews commonly praise the horchata and fartons as well as the space to sit; some are less positive about price relative to portion size or consistency of service. The Alboraya venue is the original avenue branch and should not be confused with the brand’s Valencia outlets, which have their own addresses and hours.

Listings consulted show daily hours from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, and the published phone number is +34 961 85 88 66; check before travelling. Allow extra time for transport from the centre to Alboraya and check current Metrovalencia or bus routes, especially for the return journey at night. Daniel works as a food excursion in its own right, while Santa Catalina fits between Old Town sights: the former brings you closer to the product’s local roots; the latter avoids the extra journey.
