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.

The San Sebastián brunch spot where filter coffee gets top billing.

What we love

  • •Menu splits into single-origin espresso and a dedicated 'Filtrado & Pour Over' list of single-origin coffees.
  • •Cold brew also on the menu; one reviewer calls it fruity and full of flavour.
  • •Beans available to take home, sourced from specialty roasters the café doesn't name.
  • •Filter coffee draws its own praise, with reviewers ranking it among the best they've found in the area.

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

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.

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.

Motx Coffee★★ Specialty

A takeaway-only counter where the cortado, fruit-forward and carefully pulled, would fit right into Boston or Seattle's specialty scene.
