Bakeries & cafés in Bilbao

Several of the pastry shops, which account for 14 of the 21 places, make cakes to order: Henriquez Cake's on Calle General Concha and Ophir Bakery Cakes both make celebration cakes, with tres leches coming up again and again in Henriquez's reviews, while Kuki Cookie Bakery on Colón de Larreátegui is an entirely gluten-free cookie bakery. El Tilo de Mami Lou on Areatza Kalea sits between the two halves of the list, a café set in a bakery from 1910 with murals on its walls, where reviews talk about cupcakes and cheesecake. The cafés are mostly Basque bars with pintxos on the counter: Bigarren taberna is on Funikularreko Plaza, the square of the Artxanda funicular, and Cafetería Diana on Manuel Allende Kalea lists hours until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, the latest here. Most addresses are in Abando and Ibaiondo, with others in Deusto and Basurto-Zorroza. Sundays are short: six places close all day, and most of the others shut by 3 PM.
