Our story

Your spot for sunrise and sunset

Mamma Carm Kiosk sits on the upper Qawra promenade, steps from the Malta National Aquarium with the whole of St Paul’s Bay spread out in front of you. Pull up a chair for a quick coffee after a morning walk, or settle in as the bay turns gold at sunset.

Homemade mojitos (including a non-alcoholic version), tempura prawns, wraps, kiosk classics and a full cocktail board, served fast at outdoor tables with the sea breeze doing most of the talking.
