Seville is one of the most popular cities to visit in Spain with some of the most incredible architecture to admire, streets to stroll along and with an epic food scene. If you’re looking for cafes and coffee shops to stop at on your weekend getaway then make sure to read through this post about 7 that you should visit. With just three days in the city, I made it my mission to visit as many as I could (without getting too much of a caffeine buzz) and I’d made sure to do some Pinterest and Google Map reviews to get a little list together. There’s just one extra one that we didn’t have time to get to before leaving and that’s MUY coffee. Annoyingly, we did walk past it, but we’d literally just bought a coffee from another cafe about ten minutes prior. MUY has a 5 star Google rating with nearly nine hundred reviews which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before for a coffee shop so if you go…tell me how good it is 😉

1. Filo
First on the list is Filo which we stopped at for my favourite brunch in Seville. There are two locations less than 50m apart so if one is full you can try the other. We went to Filo Colon. It’s in a great spot, within five minutes walk from the Cathedral as well as the Alcázar so you could stop here after visiting one or both and have a rest. They have loads of different breakfast options where your plate comes with a coffee as well, all at pretty reasonable prices. My cousin had the Andalusian breakfast whereas I opted for the healthy breakfast. Both so yummy, my cousin kept talking about the tomato bread in particular all holiday!
The other lovely reason to visit Filo is that it’s just so pretty! The space feels rustic but charming and with lots of decorative details that really can make a difference to a setting. The tableware and coffee cups have also been nicely chosen with funky patterns and a chunky feel to them.
2. Jester
Next up is Jester, which also has a couple of locations in Seville. Smoothie bowls seemed to be a big thing when we were in Seville (not that they’re not elsewhere, just that so many places really seemed to have them highlighted on the menu!) and Jester is probably the best known for their bowls. I had the peanut butter bowl which was so filling and tasty. It came in a coconut bowl and had lots of toppings, perfect for pre airport fuel! Jester also has a massive bakery selection and if you’re not into the sweet smoothie bowls, they’ve also got a number of classic bagel options.
3. Syra Coffee
Syra Coffee, as you can guess from the name is a coffee shop rather than a cafe and all three of the shops are takeaway oriented. We stopped at the branch beside Les Setas (see my guide 20 amazing things to do in Seville) and took our coffee to sit and admire this crazy construction! Coffee is a little more expensive here than in some other cafes but because it’s speciality coffee and they sustainably and ethically source their own beans, it’s worth that extra price. The baristas know their coffee and the taste was great! Syra is a Spanish speciality coffee company which has coffee shops in a number of the big cities in Spain so you’ll be able to get excellent coffee on your next getaway as well.
4. La Gata en Bicicleta
If I had not saved La Gata en Bicicleta on Google Maps, we may have walked straight passed this cafe, just because of its location! We ordered a coffee to go from here which we walked with to the Alcázar for our morning entry slot. Although, as we were waiting for our order, I had a regret that we weren’t in Seville for longer to be visit here again and sit in. There is a good amount of seating in this cafe with fun artwork both to decorate and for sale which made it seem like a lovely spot to sit and relax to take a break from exploring the city.
5. Parceria
Parceria is located right next to Mercado de Feria to the north of the centre of Seville. Since the historic centre of Seville is pretty small, it’s very walkable and so it’s still easy to get to Parceria and you’ll see more quaint streets as you make your way there. Parceria is somewhere between a coffee shop and a cafe. The coffee was definitely one of the best, reflecting their passion for coffee. We had intended to stop here for brunch because the menu looked yummy, but sadly some awkward timings meant we couldn’t fit it in.
Top Tip – Data Roaming
If you’re visiting Seville from overseas then getting online with an eSIM from Holafly is such a game changer. No swapping SIMs. No complicated data roaming. Lots of choice. If your phone is compatible, just download the eSIM and get going!

6. Late.
For an afternoon pick me up, we stopped at Late. on one of our days in Seville. The interior reminded me of trendy Melbourne coffee places with boxed seating and industrial lines and even how the coffee was served, shows they’re serious. This was a really smooth flat white (probably the closest to my FW expectations of all the coffees I had in Seville) and a great little spot to do some people watching at the window. My cousin ordered avocado, tomato and feta toast which looked fresh and tasty.
7. Syko
Finally, we have Syko. Generally I don’t write my lists in any particular order by here, I started with my favourite and I’m finishing with my least favourite. I say least favourite because we didn’t dislike Syko, it’s a cosy and eclectic setting and the coffee was tasty and strong, the issue was incredibly slow service. So if you have time in your itinerary to take it slow then you’ll be fine but we felt that fifty five minutes for two coffees and two slices of toast (with only a handful of other tables and four staff members) was a little too laidback! Having said that, the menu is chock full of tasty sounding dishes, which have a Greek inspiration and they’re popular for fresh juices as well.
