Specialty Coffee in Seville

Café de especialidad, specialty coffee, turns over fast in Seville. When Sprudge revisited the city in 2024, nearly every café from its 2018 list had closed, and almost all of the new ones were five years old or younger.1 The habit they compete with is the café con leche, roughly half coffee and half milk, which in Seville is almost always served in a glass.4

The beans mostly come from Andalusia. Three regional roasters keep turning up on menus: Alquimista, Ineffable from nearby Dos Hermanas, and El Hombre Pez, a one-man roastery.1 A few bars roast for themselves. Most specialty cafés sit inside the old town, in Centro and on the streets around the Alameda de Hércules, with single outposts in Triana, Santa Cruz, El Arenal and Nervión.

Local tip: Go before 13:00 on weekdays: Parcería, Purita and Utopía all close for lunch, and at Utopía and Virgin Coffee plan to drink standing, since neither has real seating.

Where these cafés are: Centro (5), Nervión (2), Alameda de Hércules (2), Triana (1), Santa Cruz (1), El Arenal (1).

Roasting in the shop: Virgin Coffee and Hispalis

Virgin Coffee on Calle Regina is a takeaway counter at the Plaza de la Encarnación, beside the Metropol Parasol that locals call Las Setas. Pedro Sierra Pradas has run it since April 2015 and roasts the beans himself, sold in yellow bags; in 2018 he was working a 1 kg Gene roaster.12 There is almost nowhere to sit, so the cup usually goes out into the plaza.1

Hispalis keeps its roaster in a corner of the shop. The list runs to a house blend, a decaf and single origins from India, Brazil, Colombia and Peru, plus limited lots, and seating is a bench.1 Owner Reinaldo Ponce describes the business as selecting, roasting and serving coffee from farms he chooses himself.7

Calle Feria and Correduría

Parcería, on Calle Calderón de la Barca by the Thursday flea market on Calle Feria, pours Alquimista beans, including three origins roasted for it alone, and changes guest roasters about every three weeks. It is a laptop-free café.1 In 2026 Sevilla Secreta named it one of two Seville cafés among the best in Spain, pointing to its waffles and a small terrace that gets the mid-morning sun.3

MUY coffee, at Correduría 14, a few blocks east of the Alameda de Hércules, opened in 2022 as a family project of three brothers. It serves only Ineffable coffee, sells the beans by the bag, and adds sandwiches, overnight oats and pastries from a local baker.1 It opens 08:30–19:30 on weekdays and closes at 18:30 on Sundays.

Purita and Utopía, two different rooms

Utopía, on Calle Fernán Caballero near the Museo de Bellas Artes, has no seats at all. Pepe Ramos has served coffee there since February 2019 from a house blend roasted by Alquimista, and the menu runs from the usual Spanish drinks to a chai matcha latte and a list of iced coffees.1 It shuts 13:00–16:00 on weekdays and does not open at weekends.

Purita, at Calle Jerónimo Hernández 14–16, is the opposite: cushioned chairs, dogs welcome and art by local painters on the walls. Barista Pepe Betteta and artist Felipe Rull pour single-origin espresso and drip from Alquimista and El Hombre Pez, and in the evening the bar turns to cocktails, an espresso martini among them.1 On weekdays it also breaks for lunch, 13:30–16:00.

Triana, Santa Cruz and the iced-coffee months

Across the river, Coffee Up on Calle San Jorge sits next to the Mercado de Triana and sells its coffee in 250 g and 1 kg bags, as beans or ground for espresso or filter.5 In Santa Cruz, De la Tribu is on the Pasaje Andreu and runs a second counter on Calle Hernando Colón.6

Summer afternoons in Seville reach triple digits Fahrenheit, many people take a siesta, and the sensible order is something iced.1 Parcería, Purita and Utopía all close for a break in the early afternoon on weekdays and reopen between 15:30 and 16:00.
