El Café De Gros – Cafes in Donostia / San Sebastián

Set on a quiet street in Donostia’s Kale Berria area, this cafe offers a calm and cozy spot to enjoy a morning or afternoon break. People often come here for a thoughtfully prepared breakfast, where gentle, fluffy Spanish omelettes and a diverse selection of cakes—like the local Basque cheesecake or an orange bizcocho—are popular choices. The coffee is well-regarded, and there’s a fine selection of teas to complement any visit.

The atmosphere is relaxed, with both indoor and outdoor seating options that catch the sun when the weather allows. It’s a place where locals and visitors alike settle in with a laptop or catch up with friends over a quiet drink. The bar also offers a range of beverages beyond coffee and tea, including beer on tap, wine, and some hard liquors, making it a casual spot that gently shifts its vibe as the day moves on.

Those who appreciate attentive yet unhurried service will find themselves at ease here. The space is wheelchair accessible inside, and dogs are welcome, adding to the inclusive, laid-back feeling. While it doesn’t offer delivery, it’s well suited for taking a moment away from the bustle—whether for a working session, a relaxed breakfast, or a slow, easy afternoon with a dessert and a beer.
