Maiatza — Restaurant in San Sebastián

It is a cute, little cafe with a huge selection of delicious bakery goods and brunch/breakfast options to choose from. When you enter the interiors of the cafe, you cannot help but notice the large assortment of goods lined up along the counter.

My visit- I went on a Sunday afternoon to sit and get some work done on my laptop. There was no waiting time and thought it was bustling with people, it was never crowded.

Dog-friendly- Bonus points for being a very dog-friendly place. Dogs are allowed inside as well which is a great plus!!!

Food- I ordered a cafe con leche, a smoothie and a tarta de queso (cheesecake) with caramel topping. My personal favorite was the acai berry smoothie- quite tasty and filling! The cheesecake and coffee were great as well.

Ambience- I loved the indoors where I found a cosy spot in the corner. The vibe of the place is very inviting and warm with good music playing non stop.

Service- The staff is really nice, responsive and some of them speak English as well. I would definitely recommend this place for the good service and...

Americano was nice, liked it. But again, expensive regarding the prices in...

I prefer Sakona or a local tortilla and coffee in a bar, for breakfast. The flat whites here are good but nothing else is special. Tomatoes are cherry and tasteless which is a sin to serve when there are basque tomatoes around. Too many sweets on sale in proportion to healthy foods. Menu is limited and unimaginative. The type of Bread ( toasts, sandwiches ) seem to be wrongly paired with the ingredients. I once ordered a ham and cheese croissant ( grilled ) and the croissant was sweet?! It’s expensive. I don’t recommend unless desperate. There are better options...
