El Escusi de Teresa

El Escusi de Teresa is a welcoming café and casual restaurant in the La Cala area of Benidorm, close to Poniente Beach. Located on Calle Santander, it offers a more relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere than many of the busy cafés and restaurants around central Levante.

The café places particular emphasis on breakfast, homemade pastries and freshly prepared food. Its comfortable interior and outdoor seating make it a pleasant place to meet friends, enjoy a leisurely morning coffee or stop for lunch.

It appeals to both local residents and longer-term visitors who appreciate smaller, independent establishments.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Breakfast is one of the main attractions at El Escusi de Teresa. The menu offers a particularly extensive selection of toasted breads, including white, wholemeal, rye, corn, brioche and gluten-free options. Customers can personalise their breakfast with toppings such as tomato and olive oil, avocado, scrambled eggs, Serrano ham, cheese, tuna or smoked salmon.

The bakery selection is equally varied, featuring butter croissants, chocolate pastries, ensaimadas, almond croissants, traditional Spanish cakes and other sweet options. Fresh orange juice, yoghurt with fruit and cereals, and fruit salads provide alternatives for those who prefer something lighter in the morning.

For lunch, the menu moves beyond typical café snacks. There are montaditos and baguette sandwiches filled with chicken, tuna, Serrano ham, bacon or Spanish omelette, alongside larger dishes such as burrata toast, salmon toast and beef burgers.

Salads include Caprese, Caesar and tomato with avocado, while Spanish favourites such as croquettes, tortilla de patatas, Russian salad and Iberian ham are available for sharing.

The kitchen also offers daily specials and dishes outside the regular menu, adding variety for people who visit frequently.

For remote workers, El Escusi de Teresa is particularly appealing as a regular breakfast or lunch destination. Its early opening hours make it convenient before starting the working day, while the relaxed atmosphere is suitable for informal meetings or taking a break from working at home.

Although Wi-Fi is reported to be available, it is best considered a café for occasional laptop use rather than a dedicated coworking venue.
