Centro is the shopping heart of the Casco Antiguo, from Calle Sierpes and Plaza de la Campana east to the Alfalfa and north to Plaza de la Encarnación; Alfalfa and Encarnación-Regina are two of the district's 12 barrios.1 Old confiterías (pastry shops that also pour coffee) share its streets with takeaway specialty counters.

Its cafés follow the foot traffic. Calle Sierpes has the historic names, the streets around the Setas have the newer bars and brunch places, and the Alfalfa has bakeries that open early for breakfast. Calle Regina, Calle Cuna and Calle Alfonso XII fill in the gaps between them.

Local tip: Virgin Coffee on Calle Regina has barely any seats, so take your cup across to the shade under the Setas.45

Calle Sierpes and Plaza de la Campana

Calle Sierpes runs about 385 m south from Plaza de la Campana to Plaza de San Francisco, and in Holy Week it carries the carrera oficial, the official procession route from La Campana to the Cathedral.2 Papelería Ferrer, open since 1856, and the hatter Sombrerería Maquedano, since 1910, are among its oldest shops; the Turco, the Iberia and the Universal were cafés here that have since gone.2

The Confitería La Campana, at number 1, was founded in 1885 by the pastry chef Antonio Hernández Merino and is run by the fourth generation; Time Out singles out its merengues, tortas de polvorón and lenguas de almendra (almond tongues), served under painted plaster ceilings.3 Further down the street, Café-Bar Catunambú is at number 8 and Ochoa at number 45.

Around the Setas of La Encarnación

The Metropol Parasol on Plaza de la Encarnación, the timber canopy everyone calls the Setas (mushrooms), was finished in 2011 to a design by Jürgen Mayer H.; it covers about 150 by 70 m, with a market at street level and Roman and Moorish remains in the basement.4 Virgin Coffee, a yellow-branded takeaway stand at 1 Calle Regina, has been run by Pedro Sierra Pradas since April 2015 and roasts its own beans, with almost no seating.5

Mi Lugar Favorito, also at 1 Calle Regina, opens daily 09:00–00:00. On the plaza, La Comissura charged €4.30 for coffee and toast in August 2025, and Square Coffee Cake & Food has outdoor tables.6

Specialty bars toward the Bellas Artes

Hispalis, run by Reinaldo Ponce, roasts in the shop with the roaster in view, and sells a house blend, a decaf and single origins from India, Brazil, Colombia and Peru.5 Utopía, at 1 Calle Fernán Caballero near the Museo de Bellas Artes, has poured coffee since February 2019 from a takeaway-only counter, using an exclusive Utopia blend from the Alquimista roastery; it opens weekdays 09:00–13:00 and 16:00–19:00.5

Plasér, at 42 Calle Cuna, a shopping street parallel to Sierpes, is another specialty bar. Dodici Brunch & Coffee, a bakery café on Calle Alfonso XII, takes cards and has vegan options.

Breakfast and late coffee around the Alfalfa

Horno de San Buenaventura, a bakery that has worked in Seville since the 14th century in one form or another, has a shop at 28 Calle Carlos Cañal; Devour Tours recommends its magdalenas (small sponge cakes) and, at Christmas, its polvorones.7 On Plaza de la Alfalfa, Love Horno Artesano opens daily at 08:00, Horno El Abuelo is at number 8 and La Escaloná at 12.

El Comercio, at 7 Calle Lineros, opens earliest, at 06:30 from Monday to Saturday, and closes at 20:30. For late coffee, Orfeo Cafe Bar on Calle Jesús del Gran Poder stays open until midnight on weekdays, and Almazen Café on Calle San Esteban serves until 01:00 from Tuesday to Sunday after a break from 14:00 to 18:30.
