Welcome to Cafeteria Mercabilbao, a cozy haven tucked away in the charming locality of Urbi, Basauri. This delightful café embodies the spirit of the bustling local market, providing a warm atmosphere perfect for unwinding with loved ones or enjoying a peaceful moment alone.

As you step inside, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the scent of traditional Basque pintxos, arousing your senses. The café strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and comfort, making it an excellent choice for those looking to indulge in a casual bite or refreshing drink. The decor is unpretentious, allowing for a relaxed vibe that encourages you to linger just a little longer.

Cafeteria Mercabilbao is particularly noted for its friendly service, with afternoon staff members like the enthusiastic and attentive camarera who consistently leaves customers smiling and satisfied.

Buena atención,” reflecting the joy of discovering a hidden gem with attentive service.

While the café is well-lauded for its welcoming atmosphere and quality service, there’s room for enhancement in variety.

Es un sitio sencillo donde tomar una tapa y una caña . Su camarera de la tarde es muy amable y simpática. Estando en la central de Abastos podrían tener más variedad de pintxos .
