On holidays in Donostia and this one became our local pub . Super good location , lovely atmosphere and great service from Tomas and Markel . The place is also gorgeous, very vintage and well looked after. Bonus points for all their real beautiful plants. And on top of all it’s super dog friendly:)

This bar was a must visit every day of my visit to San Sebastián. Their unique cappuccino with the cold cream on top was delicious and like nothing else that I’ve had anywhere else. I can’t wait to visit again on a future trip to this beautiful city.

We were here for a flat white with pastry and later in the evening again for the best carajillo in the world. The guy making the cocktails is a real magician.
