San Sebastian's old town runs on pintxos and brunch queues, but Old Town Coffee roasts and sources its own single origins rather than treating coffee as an afterthought. Order the brewed cup, not just the flat white.

San Sebastian's brunch queues hide a cafe roasting its own single origins in-house.

What we love

  • Roasts and sources its own single-origin beans in-house
  • Brewed filter-style single origins served alongside espresso drinks like flat white
  • A reviewer singled out a brewed Ethiopian single origin as more distinctive than the usual brunch coffee

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.
