Two coffees, very good and two nice cakes all for *Euro 6.80. What's not to like. Cafe used by locals also so, must be good. Accepts credit cards. Visited again, just as good.

The best pachanga (a donut roll with custard filling) in town! Their main shop which I believe preparing the pastry is a minute walk away. Haven't tried their other pastries though.

This is a very nice small bakery with tables outside. The coffee is good and the personnel very friendly. Very local place and cheap. Full of locals. We tried the croissant con queso and the pastry with ham. Totally recommended for a nice small breakfast.
