A bookshop cafe on Calle Ancha for lingering, not rushing

Order a coffee and you might end up staying for the author talk. La Lectora is part cafe, part bookshop, wedged into one of the old town's busiest shopping streets, a few doors from the Quorum bookshop.

The kitchen runs breakfast through merienda, with gluten free and vegan options across most of the menu. Reading groups and talks happen right between the tables, so this is a place for a book, not a coffee to go.

The cake is a joke. 6,50 Euro per piece an the piece is very tiny. The taste was ok but not amazing. Can not recommend this place as it’s not worth its money.

Introduce to this cafe by our son, we visit every time we are in this city. Totally amazing food, but the very best thing is the wonderful people who run it. Do not miss this place.

Uber cool & trendy cafe full of cool & trendy locals! Coffee was excellent, great flavour and taste. And the huge dipped palmier biscuit was amazing. Lots of sweet and savoury delights in the cabinet, and they also do lots of chunky sandwiches which look great. Loved the cosy decor inside, as well as the tables & umbrellas outside on the pedestrian street - perfect for people watching. Free WiFi makes it perfect for catching up with work online or in person with friends.
