GOAT Café & Bar in Tarxien offers a laid-back spot that blends a café’s casual comfort with a bar’s inviting evening vibe. Located on Triq Paola, this is the kind of place locals might drop into for a relaxed coffee break during the day or opt for a low-key night out with friends.

The atmosphere inside leans cozy and a little quirky, with plenty of goat-themed décor that adds character without feeling overdone — a detail that locals seem to appreciate, especially visitors coming from nearby landmarks like the Tarxien temples or Hal Saflieni Hypogeum. The interior fosters an easygoing mood that suits anyone looking for a break from the everyday.

Service here stands out for its friendliness and attentiveness, making the place feel welcoming whether you're just after a quick caffeine fix or staying longer for a snack or drink. Prices are straightforward and reasonably budget-friendly, appealing to a wide range of visitors from young locals to visitors exploring the area.

While the menu is varied enough to cover light bites and more substantial snacks, GOAT Café & Bar is best known for its coffee and the casual social experience rather than formal dining. Outdoor seating options might be available, but the real draw is the cozy feel inside paired with staff's approachable attitude.

For the curious visitor, there’s even a playful touch in the bathrooms, adding a hint of fun to the experience beyond just food and drink. Overall, this spot works well for anyone wanting a quiet pause in Tarxien during the day or an unpretentious place to unwind after exploring local sights.

Amazing place, if you are nearby (eg visiting Tarxien template or Hal Saflieni hypogeum) it's definitely worth a visit. Frappe cookies and cream was delicious! The interior was interesting and really nice to see as well. Everywhere were ornaments associated with goats, even the bartender had goat's type of beard. In bathroom under the toilet's lid there's a surprise :)
