Bilbao

Cokooncafé is one of Bilbao’s most popular spots for breakfast and brunch. The menu includes avocado-topped tostadas, fluffy pancakes, fresh juices, sweet cookies, and expertly crafted specialty coffees. It’s a cosy place that fills up quickly, so arriving early is a good idea.

Bohemian Lane is a small and charming all-vegan bakery and café offering a wide variety of homemade sweet treats: cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and palmeritas, plus vegan twists on classics like tortillas, pastries, and brownies. And to wash it all down? plant-based coffees and fresh juices.

ARVO is a trendy café just a short walk from the Guggenheim Museum, famous for its brunch and healthy lunch options. The menu features tostadas, açai bowls, creative sandwiches, and fresh juices. Coffee here is taken seriously, with specialty roasts, flat whites, matcha drinks, and even turmeric lattes.

Charamel Gozotegia is a quaint local bakery nestled in the heart of Bilbao's Casco Viejo. This artisanal pastry shop offers a mouth-watering array of homemade pastries, cakes, and sweet treats, all crafted in-house. It’s a perfect stop for breakfast, a coffee break, or an afternoon indulgence while exploring the Old Town.

After a long visit to the Guggenheim Museum, why not rest your feet at their stylish in-house bistro? Alongside coffee, cocktails, and inventive Basque cuisine, the highlight here is the terrace, situated right on the edge of the Nervión River and surrounded by the museum’s striking titanium curves.
