These Seville cafés take afternoon snacks to a whole new level. Foodies flock to the terraces, their eyes darting from one end of the display cases to the other, knowing full well that, sooner or later, they’ll have to come back for more. All of them offer the best of an afternoon snack: a vast selection of pastries and other treats.
Plus, some have the added bonus of offering specialty coffee, and even open, airy spaces where you can lose yourself in the afternoon without watching the clock. By all accounts, this won’t be a low-calorie diet, though we promise some of the best afternoon treats in Seville.
Manu Jara
Manu Jara would top every possible list of breakfast or afternoon tea spots in Seville. And it makes sense: it has established itself as the city’s unrivaled destination for fine pastries, capable of drawing long lines of customers.
Works of art that taste like pure bliss at any time of day and that simply must be accompanied by a coffee if you find yourself in the heights of the Duque.
The fame of their éclairs and mille-feuilles precedes them, though their croissants, palmiers, and the many other small-format treats are just as impressive—all perfect for a luxurious mid-afternoon snack.
A peaceful and pleasant haven
Plácido y Grata always makes it easy to treat yourself to a delicious sweet—from its unbeatable cinnamon rolls, sponge cakes, or cheesecakes— with the guarantee of a good cup of coffee.
The space is a showcase of expertise in interior design. A large window, two cozy outdoor tables, and a play area for the little ones to enjoy.
Ideal for an early afternoon snack; they close at 6:00 p.m.
Heylum Artisan Bakery
It’s such a pleasure to make the trip to Seville East to discover a lively terrace and possibly one of the city’s most surprising pastry display cases.
Puff pastry in various shapes, butter-filled pastries stuffed with sweet sauces, Swiss rolls, wedges, palmiers, their Banofee (puff pastry filled with pastry cream, dulce de leche, caramelized banana, and cocoa nibs), or the classic Abelico.
They serve specialty coffee (they work with Chava) and it’s bound to become one of your favorite spots for afternoon tea in Seville. It’s well worth the trip.
Chök arrived in Barcelona in 2013 as a temple to chocolate. And few things evoke a greater sense of returning to childhood than this sweet treat, which also has a location in Seville—an ideal spot for breakfast.
That’s right, cocoa is the star of this pastry shop, though its selection includes all kinds of products. Top-notch artisan pastries, chocolate bars, cakes, and, of course, its iconic “gourmet” donuts.
A perfect excuse to stop holding back the praise and enjoy this afternoon snack in Seville.
Note: they don’t have seating, but it’s always a good option to squeeze into Plaza del Pan or El Salvador and enjoy an afternoon snack outdoors in two of the city’s most beautiful squares.
At number 14 on the central street Jerónimo Hernández, near Las Setas, you’ll find Purita.
This business was born out of the need to offer Seville a complete concept for breakfast and afternoon snacks, as well as brunch and vermouth. That’s what they do at Purita:bring us an assortment of irresistible sweets all day long.
And the fact is, it’s not easy to find a specialty coffee shop that’s open past 6:00 p.m.
Here, however, you can have coffee whenever you like until closing time at 8:30 p.m. and any of their sweets: lemon sponge cakes, carrot cakes, or whatever else their display case offers each week.
Gallito y Galleta
Gallito & Galleta brought Amador de los Ríos a haven of peace dedicated to sweets. Afternoon treats in this Seville neighborhood near the station are guaranteed to be a hit. It has everything to make your afternoons with friends a delight: a spacious setting, an endless display case brimming with possibilities (some of them gluten-free), and items prepared on-site, such as their waffles or pancakes.
A café where you can work inside while enjoying some of its delicious treats.
