Why Locals Love Cafetería 26º
Nestled in the heart of Oviedo on C. Maestro Don Marciano, Cafetería 26º is a charming cafe-bar that effortlessly blends a warm, inviting atmosphere with a top-tier culinary experience. This local gem is a haven for anyone craving an authentic Asturian coffee break or a relaxing snack surrounded by natural light and cozy ambiance.
From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the soft bustle of a busy yet intimate space, filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sweet scent of baked delights. Customers like Silvia Rachiteanu have praised the abundance of natural light, making it an ideal spot for getting work done or simply unwinding. The aroma alone is enough to ignite your appetite, but the real star is their selection of pastries and savory “pinchos.” Camillo Lupo perfectly captures this by calling the pinchos “absolutely delicious,” and highlighting Cafetería 26º as the ultimate place for a quick breakfast or snacking session.
The café’s menu strikes a beautiful balance between sweet and savory treats. Indulge in an apple tart that’s flaky, tender, and bursting with fresh fruit sweetness, or savor a classic tuna pastry and jamón with fresh bread — simple dishes elevated to something memorable by the quality of ingredients and expert preparation. Greg Tower reflects on the sophisticated yet unpretentious design, noting how the café’s location in a twelve-story building not only provides an excellent backdrop but also enhances the overall experience, especially during those magical, cloudy evenings.
What’s more, the friendly service makes every visit worthwhile. Alba Hijano Pereiro’s review offers a candid look into the café’s lively atmosphere: despite being a busy spot with limited staff, the team’s warmth and smiles shine through, ensuring guests feel welcomed and attended to. This blend of efficiency and genuine care truly adds to Cafetería 26º’s charm.
Whether you're stopping in for a relaxing leche manchada with a splash of coffee (even if it ends up decaf by mistake, as Silvia amusingly notes!) or enjoying a vibrant evening on the terrace, Cafetería 26º invites you to savor the moment. The balance of exquisite flavors, convivial atmosphere, and attentive staff ensures that each visit feels special, making it a must-visit destination for locals and travelers alike in Oviedo.

I went to Cafeteria 26 to get some work done on my computer, and I really liked the place because it's full of natural light. The atmosphere is cozy, and they offer a variety of treats—I tried the apple tart, and it was delicious! I ordered a leche manchada with decaf coffee, but I ended up getting just a coffee with a splash of milk. I'll blame my bad Spanish skills for that, though! Overall, it's a nice place, but the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that they are supposed to have Wi-Fi, yet no one seemed to know the password. If they fix that, I’d be happy to give 5 stars!

Fuimos el lunes sobre las 8 de la tarde y todo bien, buena terraza, la comida y la atención de las chicas muy bien, pero podría ser mejor la imagen del local ya que tienen únicamente a 2 personas(por lo menos ese día) y lógicamente no dan a basto con todo el trabajo que hay, incluso con todo eso nos atendieron muy bien y con una sonrisa. Pero porfavor arreglar lo del personal porque una sala y una terraza así no se puede llevar únicamente con 2 personas.

Double pleasure. It's a pleasure as bakery cafe, evident. It's top class here and now. Superb design in a twelf stories building also top class. A pleasure also to have it as a photographic thing at a cloudy magic hour.
