This is one of those places where you look at the photos and you question whether or not you really want to eat avocado toast, coffee, parfaits, etc. in san sebastian and the answer is a resounding yes. Their menu is fairly simple, with various combinations of toast. The ingredients are what makes the place - fresh avocado, tomato spread, jamon on top of the details: the sesame seeds, sprouts, presentation. What we got (note: went two days in a row, back to back) - The Lot: avocado toast + tomato spread + jamon. Delicious - Caprese bagel: bagel wasn't what you expect from new york, but apparently the caprese combo was super fresh - Tomato & Jamon toast: Also delicious - Parfait: The fruits on this were amazingly sweet. The granola was nice and crunchy As far as drinks go, the presentation is amazing but the drinks tastes delicious: - Cold brew coffee - Iced americano - Fresh squeezed OJ - Matcha latte Can't go wrong with any of the drinks or the food choices here. The waitstaff is super friendly. Expect to wait a little bit since this place is super popular!
Very unpleasant experience; tantamount to racial discrimination We wanted to wait around for a table to enjoy the food/coffee that we purchased because two tables were about to be available. But the male waiter asked us to leave, citing excuses including the store would close in 30 minutes, a waiting list (even though there were no other customers waiting around,) etc. It was around 11:30am on Sunday (3/12.) Later I found out the store closes at 1pm on Sundays. It's truly unfortunate. It's a racist place. They want your money, but not your presence.
This was the best high-end coffee bar we found in San Sebastián. Unfortunately, the famed Sakona was on holiday so we did not have a chance to try it in their shop. We did try it at the Loaf and it was very good. However, I would choose old town if you can't get Sakona in the shop. Old town coffee makes a really nice flat white and latte. We went twice in 4 days. The avocado and tomato toast was average and the reason for the 4-star score.
American visiting. Very modern and hipster place for breakfast. You download the menu which was a pain for us because of cell phone service. When I finally got it downloaded, I could not get it to translate so the descriptions didn't help me. I wouldn't call any of the staff particularly friendly. I had The Lot which was good and a mocha. My companion had the avocado toast and an Americano; he said both were great. Honestly, most cafes use fresh ingredients. I did not see this as a stand-out place to visit.
This is a great little café right next to the Buen Pastor Church. If you don't look closely, you'll miss it! (*Thats what happened to me the day before!) their cappuccinos are very tasty and they have some good breakfast items as well. I will definitely go back. (*Theres also a little newsstand, a hallway really, right next door that is also excrement.)
If you are visiting from America this is a great place to get breakfast starting at 9am that resembles some of the goodies back home like avocado toast! The staff here was very friendly and prices were decent. They have toast and bagel sandwiches to choose from, in addition to granola and such. The place is cute--more contemporary and there is indoor and outdoor seating. Recommend both the Salmon Bagel and the Avocado Toast that comes with a Poached Egg and a super yummy Crushed Tomato Spread on the bottom (tomatoes are soooo much better here)!!
Really great place to grab a light breakfast before exploring San Sebastián. I ordered an iced latte (such a rare find in Europe), fresh orange juice served in a wine glass, and the classic tomato paste on bread you see very often in Spain but with avocado! I really liked the coffee and there was limited seating but we were able to get a nice and comfortable table. The staff was super friendly and they even spoke Portuguese so I had fun interacting with them!

LISTEN UP!! Food/Drinks - 10/10 Staff - 10/10 (they speak English which as an American tourist is so so helpful!) Vibes - 10/10 Indoor (very limited) and outdoor seating. What I ordered: Iced latte with oat milk (ordered a side of honey since they did not have vanilla) The Lot toast If you are an American tourist specifically, and wanting a similar taste of home while still experiencing the local coffee shop scene, I cannot recommend this place enough. read more
This place is a gem, and if you can find a spot outside, you will have a perfect view of the cathedral in downtown. When it was my friends birthday we asked for champagne, they told us they didn't have any but then went next door and got some for us. It was so sweet!!! Their avocado toast is AMAZING and you have to try their latte. read more

We love this place so much that we visited twice during our few days in town! It's the perfect spot to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. The acai bowl and coffee were both delicious. The location is fantastic, offering both outdoor and indoor seating in a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a spot we'll come back to! read more

Nice place for breakfast, busy and fast people there. Service from a tablet, coffee but where is the sugar. No shots in your coffee as i was told it is not natural. My fav is a latte with caramel or hazelnut. Not available here. Pity. So just 3 *** read more

Best coffee shop we visited on during our stay in San Sebastián, you gotta check this place out. The owners are great group of guys, spoke perfect English and were beyond friendly. We came here multiple times our on trip and had a great experience every time. We had cappuccinos and cortados, both were on point, also enjoyed the overnight oats, the butter + jam and the salmon bagel. Plenty of outdoor seating. It gets busy, for good reason, so come early or be patient and wait it out. Good vibes! read more
Stopped in for a coffee in the afternoon and had a flat white and a blondie cookie. We sat on the patio, sipped our coffees, people watched, and took in the scene. The staff here was super friendly, and I loved the laid back vibe inside the shop. Being so close to shops and other busy streets, you'd think there'd be a ton of bustle. I would definitely come back if I'm in the neighborhood! read more

The best coffee in San Sebastián! It is owned by 2 Brazilian guys who are friendly and certainly figured out the right balance between great coffee and tasty pastries. Unlike many other coffee shops in town, they make real foamy lattes with great coffee from Brazil versus all the "Nespresso ish" type - which seems to be the only option available in the city for all other coffee shops. They also have great fresh pressed juices and whole wheat pastry options. Loved this place!! Their location is a bit hidden. Just look for the local market. It is located inside. read more

If you're looking for the perfect coffee or flat white while in San Seb look no further than Old Town coffee. I visited this coffee shop each day of my vacation in town because I was so pleased with the offerings. The service was prompt and friendly, prices were reasonable and coffee and good were delicious. Everything we ordered was good, can't go wrong. read more

Great quality. Cute, cozy coffee shop. Great service. Prices are a little high, but the sizes were worth it. Iced latte was quite large, and delicious. Will definitely be back. Not a lot of seating. Laptop friendly. Free WiFi. read more

We ran here before starting a 5 hour car ride to barcelona and arrived 11 mins after they closed the kitchen for breakfast. However, the owner very, very kindly offered to pull together some toasts. Since we didn't have time to run anywhere else and were feeling a bit worse for wear after a big night in San Sebastián, this was SO appreciated! What excellent service. On top of that, the meal he whipped up was amazing (toast with tomato spread, herbs and olive oil and topped with Jamon), the coffee was good and the pastries were heavenly (especially the cheesecake). Highly recommended read more
Ricky, the proprietor of Old Town, is super passionate about coffee (an understatement). A surfer from Brazil, Ricky ended up in San Sebastián after a stint in New York. He invests in quality, because he believes it makes a difference. His fresh milk (which can be hard to find in Spain) comes from the mountains, and he takes pride in knowing where his beans originated, how they're roasted and the coffee's flavor profiles. He also believes in sustainability, and his logo reflects his philosphy. Ask him about it. Super hospitable and friendly, he will strike up a conversation and before you know it, your capuccino is on the table with a shot of water, and you're talking about life, passions, travel and love. Old Town is a delightful coffee bar in a sea of fresh market goods-- bread and pastries, fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared Spanish delicacies, jamon (of course!), and newspapers and magazines. This is where to go to get a proper cup of coffee. read more

The proprietors are very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. It's a coffee bar in a public market. Lots of fresh fruits, veggies, and meats to purchase there. Excellent espresso here! read more
