Cafes Eguía

Basque Country


Heavenly smells lure in would-be passers-by at this small shop, which has been keeping Vitoria – and other places in Spain – happily caffeinated since 1896. Aside from excellent coffees and teas (including blends mixed in house), Eguía also stocks nuts, dried fruits, chocolates, sweets and other treats.
