Los Mayses, Cakes & Coffee

Los Mayses, Cakes & Coffee sits quietly on C. de las Delicias, offering a casual café experience that’s perfect for anyone looking to settle in with a coffee and a sizable pastry. The place feels welcoming without being fussy, drawing in locals who appreciate good, straightforward coffee alongside generous portions of baked goods.

You won’t find a complicated ordering ritual here—just a simple take-it-to-your-table setup where you order and pay at the bar, then find your spot. The seating is comfortable enough to encourage lingering, making it a solid stop for both a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon break. While the back area can be a bit weak on phone signal, it’s a quieter spot for reading, chatting, or getting some light work done.

The real draw is their large selection of sweets, which locals seem to enjoy for breakfast or a casual snack. Items like the Magdalena Grande con Arándanos and classic cheesecakes stand out, along with more everyday offerings such as croissants and toast topped with avocado. Prices are notable too, with many pastries considerably larger than average and well-sized enough for sharing—ideal if you’re with friends or family and want to sample a few treats without rushing.

Besides the bakery, the coffee here garners consistent praise: it’s reliably well-crafted, whether you go for a simple café con leche or a pot of tea. The café also shows thoughtful awareness of dietary needs, offering options suitable for people avoiding gluten and lactose, which is still rare in many traditional spots around Zaragoza.

The crowd tends toward a mix of locals who drop in for their daily caffeine fix and those who use the space as a local little work haven. The atmosphere strikes a balance — lively but not overwhelming, with enough buzz to feel social without the noise level getting in the way of conversation or concentration.

For a casual morning or late-afternoon visit – avoiding the busiest times around mid-morning rush – Los Mayses provides a straightforward, solid café experience that feels like a part of the neighborhood, more about comfort and practicality than flair. It’s a place to enjoy coffee and hefty pastries in a low-key setting where the staff is polite and attentive, even if not overly chatty.
