Inside El Faro

Our Story Begins Here

El Faro Café was born from a shared dream; to create a space where cultures meet, coffee is crafted with care, and everyone feels at home. Founded by friends from Chile and Serbia, and brought to life by a warm multicultural team. El Faro blends flavour, tradition, and genuine hospitality into everything we do. Whether you’re here for your morning brew, a celebration with loved ones, or a quiet moment in the corner, you’ll always find a smile, a seat, and something delicious waiting.
More than a café, it is a little lighthouse for our community.
