Very good place for a quick breakfast. Had the mushroom omelet sandwich. They have combos also available (coffee + pastry, English breakfast, etc). Would go back as price was very reasonable and good quality with prompt service.

This place is 10/10 providing amazing service, cute vibes and a great atmosphere at the heart of the city. Delicious pinchos and a must try is jamón-serrano queso pimiento, setting you up for a day of exploring San Sebastian - definitely worth a visit!

Visited around noon for a brunch. Breakfast sandwiches were fresh and very tasty for a reasonable price. Had a cappuccino to top it off, was excellent. Highly recommend for a quick bite.

This cafe is very quaint. I enjoyed my time here. The food was nothing special, something that I could easily throw together for much less than they were charging. But nonetheless I think it was a good experience. I’m glad I went. Also their smoothies are not smoothies (according to an American), they are just a purée of the fruit). Anyways they have a wide range of menu items and if you have nothing better to do the cafe has a nice setting to just sit and relax.
