La Cacharrería

La Cacharrería has been one of Seville's go-to breakfast places for years, and local guides still describe it as a reference for breakfast in the area around Las Setas. It sits on Calle Regina, a lively street of independent shops and bars just north of the Metropol Parasol, and it is popular with locals, students and visitors who want something beyond a quick coffee and toast at the bar.

The menu goes well beyond the traditional Spanish breakfast. There are several brunch sets, classic and more elaborate toasts served on a choice of breads, pancakes, bagels, pastries and homemade cakes, with fresh fruit, granola and yoghurt among the lighter options. More recently it has added lunch service too. Coffee, juices and teas round out the morning menu, and the café also works as an afternoon stop for cake and coffee.

The space has a casual character that fits its name, which loosely translates as a jumble shop. It suits couples and friends who want a leisurely start to the day, and it is a good choice for families who prefer a sit-down breakfast with more variety than churros. Prices are reasonable for brunch in the centre.

It is very popular, and at weekends there is often a queue out of the door in the late morning, so arrive early or come on a weekday. Tables are small and the space is compact, so larger groups may need to wait for a suitable table. Check current opening times before going, as they can change with the season. In summer, when Seville gets very hot by midday, a late breakfast here followed by a morning visit to Las Setas or the Palacio de las Dueñas makes the most of the cooler hours.

Calle Regina leads from the Plaza de la Encarnación towards the San Juan de la Palma and Feria districts. Las Setas, with its rooftop walkway and market, is just around the corner, and the specialty coffee bar Virgin Coffee is at the other end of the street. After breakfast you can walk to the Palacio de las Dueñas in about five minutes or to the Alameda de Hércules in about ten.
