"My go-to breakfast spot in the Caseco. Everything is good here. Friendly counter service. Bakers in the back making pastries. I love their sandwiches. Extra high concentration of good-looking people, for some reason."

"Loved the place!!
The pastries are home made, and freshly baked. They keep coming out of the kitchen.
Everything we tried tasted very good.
(my favorite: the chicken curry toast).
Also the coffee and the juices are great.
Also, the value-for-money is fair.
Highly recommended."

"Unreal cheesecake. Tried the Gorgonzola one and was unique, the classic one looks great and want to try in the future. Recommend if you’re looking for coffee, cheesecake or local pasties and cake. Friendly service, decent prices."

Best for: baked goodsLocals queue up, waiting to pile into this Old Town bakery the moment it opens its doors each morning, which tells you all you need to know about the quality of its in-house baking. You’ll find everything from croissants and pastries to more inventive concoctions such as a blue-cheese cheesecake. The coffee is particularly good, while the homely interior design — with greenery hanging from the rough stone walls — makes it the kind of place you’ll want to stay awhile.
6 cafeterías de Bilbao para disfrutar de un buen café
En los dos establecimientos de Charamel, el del centro y el del Casco, hallarás, aparte de una bonita decoración con toques vintage, una amplia oferta de cafés entre la que destaca el affogato. Esta peculiar variante del espresso consiste en poner una bola de helado dentro de la propia taza para que, tal y como adelanta su nombre, esta se ahogue con el café y se combine con su sabor. Igual que en los casos anteriores, también ofrece una extensa variedad de dulces que abarca desde las tartas más típicas, hasta otros postres importados como cinamon rolls o pasteis de Belem.
