Cafes & Coworking📍 Cabarete★★★★★ 4.4 (573)

Friend's is a casual cafe and bakery in the centre of Cabarete, on the main highway in the Cabarete Center area (reviewers place it in front of the Wally Exchange). It is a reliable early-morning stop, opening at 6:30am, and is popular for breakfast, coffee, and freshly baked French pastries.

The menu leans international and breakfast-focused: croissants, pain au chocolat, and other pastries, avocado toast, a full English-style breakfast, pancakes and crepes, plus sandwiches, fresh fruit juices, and smoothies. Reviewers repeatedly mention generous portions and reasonable prices, which is part of why it has a strong 4.4 rating over more than 570 reviews.

It works well as a quick coffee-and-pastry stop or a sit-down breakfast, and it is convenient for anyone based in or passing through central Cabarete. Delivery has been offered through a local app, so ask in person about current delivery and payment options.
