The story
In Alboraia, just north of Valencia, Horchata Daniel has earned a 4.4-star reputation as a classic ice cream shop where locals and visitors alike queue for the region’s quintessential pairing. Tucked away on Av. de l'Orxata, this walk-in-friendly spot keeps things traditional: no fuss, just horchata and the long, airy pastries known as fartons.
Reviewer “Cosa mangiamo oggi?” calls the sugar-free horchata a standout—it “lets the original flavour shine,” a refreshing antidote to Valencia’s heat. The accompanying fartón, they note, is “made for dunking,” making this the “perfect pre-school snack.” It’s a simple, unshowy ritual that captures the essence of local daily life.

Reviewers rave about the airy, sweet Fartón, calling it a perfect companion for the signature drink. The overall vibe is one of simple, authentic delight.
“This fartón is basically a creamless brioche roll, soft and fluffy, created specifically to be dunked in horchata. It's like a sponge that absorbs all the horchata. The lady told me you have to soak it. Together, they're basically siblings — these two things must be eaten together.”

Horchata Sin Azúcar
I got the horchata without sugar — much better, you taste the original flavour much more. It's made from a tuber called chufa. With today's 40-degree heat, it really hits the spot.
