Best Coffee Shops in Seville | TOP 5 Spots in the City Center • Abroad with Ash

Discover the best coffee shops in Seville for quality espresso, delicious bites, and convenient city center locations. These cafes are perfectly located for tourists and close to the top sights.

If you've read some of my other Seville blog posts, you'll already know this is one of my favorite places. I've been visiting this magical city consistently since 2014.

In my first visits to Seville, the coffee scene was what you would find in a traditional (smaller) European town: stand-up bars and casual cafes serving espresso and cafe con leche. If you were feeling an iced coffee, flat white, or pour-over...tough luck.

A few years ago, Virgin Coffee opened one of the first specialty coffee shops in Seville, serving a full and varied coffee menu. A trend of newly opened, third-wave coffee shops quickly ensued.

While there are now several Starbucks in Seville (which hurts my heart), I sincerely hope you try one, or all five, of my favorite Seville coffee shops. These spots have personality and serve excellent coffee at a fantastic price. Plus, the espresso quality at these coffee shops beats Starbucks ten to one.

The Seville coffee shops I list are all close to the tourist zone. So no matter where you're sightseeing, you'll never be far from a legit flat white or iced Americano.

1. Virgin Coffee

One of the first specialty coffee shops in Seville

Virgin Coffee was one of the first cafes in Seville to be called a "specialty coffee shop".

There are usually several different beans to choose from. The barista can help you pick if you aren't sure which espresso to go with.

You'll find all the popular specialty coffee drinks here: flat white, iced americano, cappuccino, V60, Aeropress, and nitro cold brew.

The prices can't be beat. €2.30 for a flat white and €1.60 for an americano.

If they have a few treats, grab one. The quality is excellent. There is also a pastry shop just next door, Proust, if you'd like a few baked goods to pair with your morning coffee.

This Seville coffee shop is to-go only as the space is tiny...which is fine as it's right next to a popular tourist site, the Setas de Sevilla.

So grab your coffee and wander around the crazy mushroom-shaped structure.

2. East Crema

One of the best coffee shops in Seville for a modern vibe and an ultra-smooth flat white

I happened upon this brand-new coffee shop on my latest trip to Spain in April 2024. East Crema has yet to be "discovered" as most people don't know about it yet and there aren't many reviews.

I have zero doubt that this Seville coffee shop will make a name for itself. It was the smoothest flat white I've ever had in Seville with beautiful latte art. The matcha latte is also excellent.

Wood tones and a minimalistic design give the space a very modern, open feel.

While the prices are a tad higher than other specialty coffee shops in Seville (€3 for a flat white), the quality warrants it.

East Crema offers a full menu of baked goods, toasts, yogurt bowls, and sandwiches.

The "brunch" option is a good deal. For €16 you get a coffee of your choice, orange juice, toast (I recommend the tomato avocado and pesto toast or the Iberian ham and camembert cheese toast), and a bakery item.

3. Jester

One of the best Seville cafes for acai bowls, croissant sandwiches, juices, and other light bites

Jester is one of my favorite Seville cafes for a morning or afternoon snack paired with a great coffee. The food here is fantastic and the coffee is wonderful as well.

You can stay healthy and order a beautifully presented acai bowl, smoothie, or fresh juice.

Or go savory and try one of their croissant sandwiches. The one with eggs, cream cheese, and avocado is my go-to. You'll also find three-layered cakes, pastries, cookies, yogurt bowls, empanadas, sandwiches, and more.

The coffee menu is extensive. You'll find a selection of lattes including matcha, chai, and turmeric. Choose from several iced coffee drinks like an iced mocha or Vietnamese coffee. I usually stick with my iced Americano or flat white and am always happy with the quality.

Due to Jester's popularity, they recently opened a second location by Plaza Nueva. You'll find indoor seating and a much larger footprint when compared to the original location.

Jester's first location is tiny, with sidewalk patio seating only.

Expect a wait, especially on weekends. This location is a great option before or after your visit to the Alcazar Palace. It's located right next to the Murilla Gardens (gardens surrounding the palace) and is a 7-minute walk from the actual palace entrance.

4. Syra Coffee

One of the best Seville coffee shops for a shopping break in the heart of the tourist zone

Syra Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops in Barcelona. I was excited to see that it's made its way to Seville.

There are currently three Syra coffee shops in Seville. Syra Coffee Tetuan is located in the heart of the shopping zone, close to Zara, H&M, Mango, Massimo Dutti, and other popular European brands.

It's a small coffee shop located at the entrance of a new boutique hotel. There are three small tables in the actual coffee space and a small lobby with tables and chairs for those who wish to sit and enjoy their coffee.

Syra Coffee Las Setas is right by the famous "mushroom" sculpture. This is a to-go spot as there is zero seating.

The newest location, Alvarez Quintero, is by Plaza Nueva and close to some of the main shopping streets.

Syra Coffee makes a mean flat white and is my top pick for iced Americanos. You can really taste the quality of the beans. They are also known for their thick, gooey cookies.

5. La Gata en Bicicleta

The best Seville cafes for low prices, WiFi, and space to work (laptops are acceptable)

It's hard to find a coffee shop in Seville that offers WiFi AND allows you to use your laptop. La Gata en Bicicleta is one of the few.

The spacious interior has multiple tables and window seats, with designated areas for laptop use.

This is a more traditional coffee shop/cafe offering simple coffee preparations. I would not call it third-wave or specialty. Don't expect fancy latte art here.

Even so, the coffee quality is great and the prices are cheap! €1.40 for an americano.

Honorable Mention - Utopia Cafe

Like Syra Coffee, Utopia Cafe is located in the heart of the shopping zone and not far from Plaza Nueva.

The space is tiny and for to-go only.

During the summer months, Utopia Cafe offers a full menu of iced drinks with the option to "American size" it with "extra grande" and "supersize" options. I can't help but laugh.

Unlike most Seville coffee shops, and Europe for that matter, you'll find flavored coffee drinks like a vanilla latte, caramel latte, and white mocha.

I stick with the cold brew and iced Americano. Both are excellent.

1. Parceria Cafe

One of the best coffee shops in Seville for organic, vegan, and vegetarian food items, an assortment of toasts, and an extensive coffee (and non-coffee) menu

Parceria Cafe is another wonderful specialty Seville coffee shop. You won't be disappointed with the wide variety of coffee (and non-coffee) drinks here.

Turmeric latte, V60, Kalita, Aeropress, filter coffee made with the guest roaster of the day, iced matcha, espresso tonic, cold brew, flat white, and 15 plus organic teas to choose from...your options aren't lacking here. Oat milk is offered as a milk alternative.

Food items include waffles, smoothies, yogurt bowls, and an assortment of toasts (try the tahini, walnut, banana, and pistachio on fig bread).

The space is small, though there are a few tables and chairs both inside and on the sidewalk. This is a laptop-free Seville cafe, so be mindful of that.

The servers are extremely friendly and the latte art is on point.

Pro Tip: if Parceria Cafe is full and you don't want to wait, Cafe Moma (a four minute walk down the street) is a good back up and it has WiFi.

2. MUY Coffee

One of the best Seville coffee shops for a legit matcha latte and friendly owners

MUY is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall coffee shop offering smooth brews and wonderful matcha lattes.

There are a few seats inside and out, but be prepared to order to go during busy times.

Owned by two brothers, their care for detail and friendly service really stand out. I'm not at all surprised by the 5-star reviews on Google.

3. El Viajero Sedentario

One of the best Seville coffee shops for a local crowd and books

I happened upon El Viajero Sedentario when wandering just outside the tourist zone a few years ago. This little Seville coffee shop immediately won my heart. Not only is the vibe homey and cozy, but the theme is coffee and books! You can browse the books while you're there or buy one to take home.

The cakes here are delicious, especially the carrot cake. The coffee menu is simple, but the quality is great. Stick with a simple Americano or cappuccino.

If you're looking for a more local crowd, this should be one of the first coffee shops in Seville you stop at. You'll find locals chatting with friends or reading a book...I could tell this place sees a lot of repeat customers.

Other perks include low prices and long hours (9:30 am to 12:30 am). Beer, wine, and cocktails are also available.

In Summary

I hope this list of my favorite cafes and coffee shops in Seville helps in your search for a quality coffee while wandering the city. These are the spots I find myself visiting on a rotating basis and they never disappoint!
