Skip the brunch queue and order the flat white or cortado, the drinks that keep getting singled out. Right by the harbour, it's been called some of the best coffee in San Sebastián.

San Sebastián regulars praise the espresso here, not just the brunch.

ORIGEN SPECIALTY COFFEE★★ Specialty

The espresso here is fruity and balanced enough that visiting coffee connoisseurs treat it as a genuine destination, not a stopover, and it's poured with fresh local milk instead of the usual UHT barista carton.

Petit Café en San Sebastián★★ Specialty

A brunch stop where the coffee gets equal billing with the food, single-origin espresso, pour-over and cold brew all sit on their own dedicated section of the menu.

Aromme Boutique du Café★★ Specialty

The barista walks you through the day's bean selection before pulling a batch brew clean and balanced enough that regulars come back for it daily.
