The 10 Best Coffee Houses In Santiago De Compostela, Spain

Café Venecia is a sophisticated bar-café whose décor draws its inspiration from the beautiful city of Venice, carnival masks hanging on the wall and all. This is perhaps the most famous café in the city, and its popularity is well earned, their Italian coffee machine produces coffee of incredible quality. You’ll also receive a free tapas to nibble on for every drink you order, a great incentive to hang around while you sample what they have to offer.

Bicoca is slightly hidden away, but seek out this café located by the entrance to the old town and you will be glad you did. The café serves delicious coffee, a wide variety of teas and they also offer some excellent brunch options every Sunday. If brunch doesn’t take your fancy, there’s also some wonderful Gallician tapas available.

If you’re looking to try some local sweet treats look no further than Cafe Iacobus, whose quality pastries and homemade churros fill the street with the aroma of freshly baked (or fried, as is the case with churros) goods. They have several locations in the city, and it’s been said that this is the best place to try tarta de Santiago, the deliciously moist almond cake typical from the region.
