Why we recommend it
Torch Coffee Roasters is one of the names that comes up first when people talk about specialty coffee in Seville. It occupies a ground-floor space on the Paseo de las Delicias, the riverside avenue that runs south from the Torre del Oro towards the Parque de María Luisa, and it roasts its own beans on site in a small roaster inside the café. Coffee guides have also described it as a training space that hosts barista courses.
The café is bright and naturally lit, with wooden furniture and a large communal table, and it has a relaxed atmosphere that encourages lingering. The menu centres on the coffee itself: espresso-based drinks prepared carefully on a professional machine, as well as filter coffees that bring out the character of single-origin beans. If you are used to the strong, quick café con leche of traditional Spanish bars, this is the place to try something different, and the baristas are happy to explain the choices. Bags of beans are available for those who want to take some home.
It suits coffee lovers, remote workers who want a calm space and travellers looking for a quiet break between sights. It is popular with both visitors and locals, and its position makes it a natural stop on a walk between the Cathedral area and the Plaza de España, which is about 15 minutes away on foot. Prices are slightly higher than in a traditional bar, as is normal for specialty coffee.
The café can get busy at peak times, particularly mid-morning at weekends, so be ready to share a table. Opening hours are listed by third-party guides rather than on a page we could check, so confirm them before making a special trip, especially on public holidays.
Across the road is the river and the boarding point for boat trips, and the Torre del Oro, the Teatro de la Maestranza and the Palacio de San Telmo are all a few minutes away. The Jardines de Cristina and the Hotel Alfonso XIII are close by, and the Parque de María Luisa begins just to the south, so a coffee here makes a good start to a morning in the park.
