On the hunt for the best breakfast in Seville?

This article covers a wide range of breakfast options in Seville, from trendy modern brunch cafes to traditional eateries offering a classic Seville breakfast.

Join us as we explore where the best places for breakfast in Seville are.

Best Breakfast in Seville

Before we delve into the best breakfast places in Seville, it’s handy to know a bit about the Spanish breakfast.

What Do Spanish People Eat for Breakfast?

While you’re in Spain, you’d be missing out if you didn’t try some of the traditional Spanish breakfast foods.

Generally, the food is quite light (especially if you compare it to a typical American or English breakfast!)

Below you’ll find a typical Spanish breakfast foods list which you’ll find all over the city.

Popular Spanish Breakfast Foods

• Tostadas – Toasted bread often served with pulped tomato and olive oil
• Bocadillos – Small Spanish sandwich
• Magdalena – A slight lemon flavoured muffin style cake
• Churros – A stick-shaped, doughnut-like sweet treat served with thick chocolate sauce
• Cafe cortado – Short coffee with a dash of milk
• Cafe con Leche – Coffee with milk
• Zumo de Naranja – Orange juice

The most typical combination for breakfast in Seville is a tostada with a coffee. As tasty as they are, Churros aren’t typically eaten every morning. 

You might also want to opt for a full Spanish breakfast, which includes the tostada and coffee, but also often comes with freshly squeezed orange juice, cold meats or cheese and sometimes fruits.

When Is Breakfast Time in Spain?

The typical Spanish breakfast is usually between 7:00 am and 9:00 am.

This timeframe works with the Spanish lifestyle – the meal is light but filling enough to last until their midday meal, traditionally considered the day’s largest meal.

Contemporary Breakfast Cafés in Seville

Here are our top spots to find a good breakfast in Seville to set you up for a full day of sightseeing around the city.

Not only are these suggestions excellent for breakfast, but they also offer a wide range of options that make them perfect for brunch as well.

1. La Mala

This is one of the top spots to find a healthy breakfast in Seville. They serve tasty smoothies, fruit salad bowls, bagels – and if you’re feeling naughty loaded waffles.

This was one of the first breakfast spots in Seville I started going to as their menu for veggies is decent. They also have several options for vegans!

😋 My favourite here is the veggie/vegan-friendly avocado and tomato bagel!

👉 Useful to Know: There are two branches of La Mala, the original one is smaller and located closer to the historical centre – it also has shorter opening hours. The other branch under La Setas is bigger, so I’ve never had to wait for a table here. This branch also has longer opening hours.

👀 Update: Just this last week I’ve seen a third branch of La Mala, although it’s only just opened – so I still need to visit this one. It’s so new, that it’s not even listed on their website yet. It’s along Calle Puerta de la Carne (nearly opposite Jester – which is another breakfast spot I mention in this article).

2. Billy Brunch

If you’re looking for the best brunch in Seville, you won’t be disappointed with Billy Brunch. Although this breakfast spot is slightly hidden down an alley – somehow people find it! It’s popular, and there always seems to be a queue whenever I’ve visited.

However, the wait is worth it.

They serve internationally inspired dishes, so expect lots of flavours! They also have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

😋 My go-to’s here are either the Chakchouka if I’m feeling healthy, or the stacked pancakes. If you opt for the pancakes – they are VERY filling, either share them or wear your stretchy pants!

3. Parcería Café

Not only a great breakfast place but also one of the best coffee shops in Seville. From the outside, this cafe is easy to miss – but for those in the know, it’s an absolute gem.

Inside is fairly small, with a few outdoor seats, you might have to wait a little but it’s worth it. Also, I found this one of the slower places to go for breakfast BUT because the coffee here is exceptional I’m happy to wait for that – you can’t rush perfection.

😋 There are plenty of options for veggies and they do a great modern take on the traditional tostada – my favourite here is the Tostada de tahíni, plátano, nueces y dátiles (toast with tahini, banana, nuts and dates) or the apple with blue cheese.

4. Mokambo

Mokambo is one of the best places to eat in Seville if you’re after tasty healthy organic foods.

They are one of the rare gems in Seville that use toxic-free products, with zero ultra-processed carbohydrates and long fermentations to ensure their true benefits. Plus, there are no refined sugars!

This a great spot for breakfast and brunch – they serve their menu all day if you’re having a particularly lazy start to the day.

😋 I enjoyed their loaded croissant called The Simple, which came with avocado, egg, cheese and salad.

5. Feria 83

I love this place for the open and bright interior, and window bench – which makes the perfect perch for people-watching.

They specialise in fresh and natural dishes with plenty on their menu for veggies.

😋 If you’re after something sweet and light, then their Walnut Toast with Peanut Butter, Banana and Cinnamon is a great option. If you’re after something a bit more substantial, then go for either the Avo Premium Toast or for total overload, their Vegetarian English Breakfast or their Veggie Pesto Waffle (below). 

6. Ananás Coffee & Brunch

One of the best places for breakfast in Seville which is away from the chaos of the tourist route is Ananás Coffee & Brunch. They focus on healthy organic food, using seasonal locally sourced ingredients.

Again, there are plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans as well as other dietary needs. They also offer dishes outside of the menu, so if you have something in mind, and they have the ingredients in, they can create this for you.

😋 If you can peel your eyes away from their tempting cake counter, they have a small, yet diversely flavoured breakfast menu. Their Vegetable Bagel is divine – it even comes with a crazy-coloured blue mayo!

7. Almazen Café

Sightly away from the central areas, I walked past this place several times before calling in – and what a great little find it was.

Almazen offers a great selection of international and traditional Spanish breakfast, lunch, and coffee/cakes. And have decent options for veggies and vegans.

😋 I love the Desayuno Almazen, which is their signature toast – and definitely worth trying. The combination of goat cheese, spinach, pecans honey and apple works surprisingly well!

8. Moya Brunch

This is by far one of the prettiest breakfast spots I’ve included on the list. Decked out in bright pink with neon lights, plants and bamboo fittings, it’s certainly ticking the boxes for Instagrammable places in Seville.

Aside from the aesthetics, their breakfasts are decent too as well as have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

😋 Their Maracuya Pancakes and Scrambled Egg Waffles, are VERY filling and packed with lots of toppings. If you want something lighter then I also recommend the Açai Bowl.

9. Jester

This is one of the best cafes in Seville to satisfy your sweet tooth – Jester specialises in fruit juices, freshly baked cakes and pastries, and my favourite – smoothie bowls! This is also one of the best vegan breakfast options in Seville

The smoothie bowls are one of my favourite choices during the heat of Southern Spain summer – and even then, they give me brain freeze if I eat them too quickly.

They do a variety of tempting flavours, each comes with generous toppings of things like sliced fruit, granola, seeds or nuts. They are deceptively filling too!

This place can get busy. It has limited outdoor seating. It’s normal to have to wait for a while here.

😋 My go-to here is always the Peanut Butter Bowl! #drooling

10. Virgen Coffee

I just have to give this place a notable mention – it’s my absolute favourite place in Seville to get coffee on the go. 

Even though this hole-in-the-wall-style cafe doesn’t serve food, they are hands down the best cafe in Seville.

😋 They offer a fairly limited range of coffees – but who needs quantity when you’ve got quality? They do the best flat white in the city.

Traditional Spanish Breakfast Spots in Seville

If you’re after a more authentic Spanish breakfast, here are our top picks for places to try:

11. Café Piola

This great little place is at the upper end of Alameda – the deco has a rustic suck-in-the-90s look to it, put that aside, and it’s a great place to head any time of the day. It’s also one of the best places to find a cheap breakfast in Seville.

They serve a great no-frills traditional Seviliano breakfast. They often have a meal deal running for a tostada and drink (check on the blackboard behind the bar).

😋 For meat eaters, go with the classic iberico ham tostada. For veggies, opt for either jam, olive oil, tomato or avocado.

👉 Worth knowing – Cafe Piola also serve one of the best Vermut’s in Seville (although I don’t recommend Vermut first thing in the morning, but don’t let me be the one to judge 🥴!)

12. La Crème de La Crème

Tucked away in a corner near La Setas is La Crème de La Crème. Despite its French name and serving plenty of sweet treats, they do serve a very good classic tostada.

There’s plenty of seating indoors and out.

Their tostada menu offers a traditional breakfast in Seville but with a twist. There are three different tiers which roughly translate to traditional, special and luxury. 

😋 I recommend both the Mantequila, Azucar Glass y Canela (butter, powdered sugar and cinnamon) or the Queso de Cabra y Mermelada o Miel (Goat Cheese and Marmalade or Honey).

Best Place for Churros and Chocolate in Seville

Another typical breakfast in Seville is churros and chocolate. If you join a local food tour, you’ll get introduced to these.

Churros, fried to golden perfection and dusted with sugar, are a Spanish delight, especially when dipped in rich, velvety chocolate. Indulge in these and ignore the calorie count.

Here’s where to find the best churros in Seville.

13. Bar El Comercio

Located in Barrio Santa Cruz, this bar has been serving up churros for over 100 years. This place is renowned for its churros, it’s popular with locals and tourists, so be prepared to wait in line to get served.

The churros here are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, served with a cup of thick hot chocolate.

Inside, it feels like somewhat of a time capsule – I don’t think it’s been decorated since it opened in 1904. It certainly has a certain charm about it crammed shoulder-to-shoulder among the decades-old memorabilia.

14. Chocolatería Virgen de Luján

Located in a mostly residential district in Seville called Los Remedios, this is a very much off-the-beaten-track churrería. It’s run by a couple, who have been making churros and chocolate for over 20 years.

This isn’t the most photogenic eatery on our list, but what it lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for in authenticity. The churros here are divine – crispy with a hint of cinnamon and served with rich dark chocolate.

It’s close to Parque de los Principes – so you have somewhere to walk off breakfast afterwards. This is also a good option if you’re staying on the Triana side of the river.

15. Churrería Los Especiales

This churrería is located on the Seville side of the Triana Bridge. This modest circular stand serves its own special type of churro. They call it the ‘churro especial’, which is thinner and longer than a traditional churro.

Although not my favourite churros – I prefer the classic churros – this place does have some strange opening hours, including 24 hours between Thursday and Sunday night! Perfect for after-party snack attacks! So it tops the list for convenience.

Local Markets in Seville

Although Seville doesn’t really have a culture of eat-on-the-go and take-outs like the UK and US, you can pick up breakfast from the local markets – the main things are fruit and baked items.

There are loads of markets where you’ll find traditional food in Seville and amongst the deli counters you’ll find plenty of fresh fruit and bakeries. If you want to find out more about Seville’s food markets, then join one of the local food tours.

Here are our favourite food markets in Seville.

16. Mercado de la Encarnación

This modern market is located under the famous Metropol Parasol.

Here you’ll find all sorts of foods, from fresh fruits and vegetables to meats and seafood. You can also enjoy tapas at some of the stalls, as well as pastries and other baked goods.

17. Mercado de Feria

This is the oldest food market in Seville – as well as my personal favourite!

This bustling market is located in the Feria neighbourhood and is known for its fresh produce, meats, and seafood as well as plenty of places to perch on a stool for a quick bite.

You’ll also find stalls selling olives, cheese, and other local delicacies, so it’s a great place to visit if you’re looking to buy fresh ingredients to cook yourself.

18. Mercado de Triana

Triana Market has a wide selection of fresh produce, meats and seafood.

It’s also home to several tapas bars where you can enjoy traditional dishes like salmorejo or pescaíto frito.

There is also an AMAZING cake stall here.
