Cafés & Coffee

More than a quarter of these cafés are Spanish, and there the café is usually a café-bar: reviews mention tapas, pintxos, bocadillos and Spanish omelette far more often than coffee. Logroño (47) and Ourense (38) list more than Barcelona or Madrid; two thirds of Logroño's stay open until midnight or later on some days, Cafetería Tarasca until 1 AM from Monday to Saturday, and Cafetería Grafico in Ourense lists 3 AM. Nearly half of the Italian entries are espresso bars built around cornetto, brioche and the aperitivo. Turin has 60, from Caffè Fiorio on Via Po, reviewed for bicerin and gianduja, to Torre Cremeria Bar on Corso Regio Parco, which serves granita with brioche.

About half of the Greek entries list delivery. British reviews bring in scones and cream teas, at The Clock Cafe on Scarborough's Spa and at Fremington Quay on the estuary near Barnstaple; in Sweden and Norway it is fika and cinnamon buns, as at Kaffebønna Stortorget in Tromsø.
