La Kama Café (Tropical Fresh Cocktail Bar)

About La Kama Café (Tropical Fresh Cocktail Bar)

Dating back to 1981 when it opened as Cafe Figueroa—the original sign still hangs outside—this two-level spot has evolved into one of Chueca's most versatile hangouts. It functions as a proper café by day, serving breakfast, brunch, focaccia, and coffee with cinnamon cookies, then transitions seamlessly into a cocktail lounge as the sun goes down. The tropical decor and diffused lighting create a jungle-like atmosphere that feels intentional without being overdone. The balcony and outdoor seating are prime real estate for people-watching on Chueca's main drag, while the upstairs offers a bird's-eye view of the passing parade. By night, tropical cocktails take center stage, and the bartenders—predictably attractive and efficient—keep the energy relaxed but flirtatious. It's a place that works whether you're solo with a coffee at noon or meeting friends for pre-club drinks at midnight, making it one of the more reliably welcoming spots in the neighborhood.
