Not what I was hoping for as far as pastry goes on my first morning in Seville. The coffee was delicious though! The service lackluster. The business itself was really nice with lots of variety and a good range of sweets and savory. Honestly just the hostile service made this a not so great place. The pastry I had was ok just not as good as I'd hoped it to be. It was a chocolate croissant type one except it was hard and had a sweet film on the outside that was weird. Seems like they just like their regular locals! Was definitely hustling with a lot of them. I wouldn't go back here as there are so many other places in the city. read more

A landmark art deco patisserie and cafe, La Campana has been catering to Seville's sweet toothed since 1885. I decided to join the mixed crowd in its elegant interior for a yema (soft, crumbly biscuit cake wrapped like a toffee), and a coffee and torta de aceite (flat, crumbly biscuit made with olive oil). I also got a Pionono, kind of like a rolled cake, delicious filling inside. For a traditional breakfast, I was told, I have to come early and stand at the bar where waistcoated staff will slam down a coffee and pan con tomate (toasted roll with crushed tomato) right in front of you....LOL. Talking to the ladies behind the counter, sometimes is busy as it can be, other times, it is not so bad...manageable. read more

The Original La Campana is one of the great confiterias (dessert store/confectionary) in Sevilla. The Original is not to be missed. Success has led both expansion to more outlets and expansion to more services. This is a modern branch outlet that serves the tourist anthill next to the Cathedral. They sell many of the cookies and candies that made the Original La Campana great. The modern tourist store does not have the late nineteenth century paintings and ceramics that made the Original La Campana such a magical place. The new place is shopping mall modern - not unlike a Froyo in the United States. The new place also does breakfasts. We did a breakfast there. It was mediocre except for the coffee. Near the cathedral, there are lots of Spanish chain restaurants (Spanish chains can be better than American chains) and if you know where to find them, some famous outstanding houses. Randomly pick, and you are likely to hit a chain. Chains are good enough for breakfast. You can agonize over picking where you have lunch or dinner. Taberna El Papelon does a fine chain breakfast. read more
