Mesón del Café

CaféLocal favourite

Coffee bar opened in 1909 behind a farmhouse-style façade with a tiled roof, still with its original woodwork, bottle shelves and the coffee machine it used in 1929 on display. It sits a few steps from Plaça Sant Jaume, and from outside it looks like a dark doorway, so most visitors keep going.

Good to know

  • Look for the 1929 coffee machine on the mezzanine wall.
  • It is tiny: expect to stand at the counter.
