But I was looking for some fruit and yogurt to lighten up after too much fun with pintxos, which while delicious, don't exactly run light. Note that the produce section has automatic pricing machines - note the number of your fruit, put on the scale, and press he button to print a label for the bag.

If you're tired of eating pintxos in San Sebastian, or you need something to go (like we did,…read morebecause I'm not sure I could get tired of eating pintxos!), this is a great place to come. This place sells 3-4 different types of ham sandwiches, all made with fresh baguettes, fresh meat, and cheese. There's no sauces or anything super fancy with these sandwiches, because you don't really need anything to cover up the taste of fresh ingredients. These sandwiches are reasonably priced at around ~4 euros, which is way better than most of the other food/sandwiches that you'll find at the train station. If you pay 1 euro more (or something nominal), you can get a drink with your sandwich, which includes bottled water, soda, or beer. Definitely worth checking this place out if you need something quick to eat, or something to save for later. There's no seating at this place, so plan accordingly - you'll have to take your food elsewhere.

The laté was a little watered down for my taste, orange juice, and kombucha were great! Ordered lime bread & the bread was pretty dry. Also ordered the benedict, and the egg was so undercooked/raw on the benny that I'm not sure how they got it on the avocado, no exaggeration! I was struggling, so I forgot to take a pic. For sure nowhere near as good as Old Town Coffee!

Decided I wanted to try the Pantxineta. This traditional Basque dessert features layers of flaky puff pastry filled with a rich pastry cream and topped with toasted almonds. It's a treat that perfectly complements the savory flavors of San Sebastian's cuisine, however it wasn't for me. I think I was thinking of something flaky and it wasn't. Flavor was good, not overly sweet. Kids loved the treat that looked liked sugar gum drops. Service was excellent, very nice and friendly.
