A coffee and a good story: the best combo to enjoy these literary cafes in Zaragoza

In the midst of the boom in single dates and the revaluation of spending time alone, few plans are better than enjoying an entertaining book accompanied by a good coffee. So, what better than a café that offers you both? In Zaragoza , you can find places that are half café, half library , where you can enjoy those moments of reading and tranquility, alone or with someone.

Zaragozans who love literature are lucky enough to be able to enjoy parks and different green areas in the city, where they can immerse themselves in the world created in the pages of their books in a calm and natural environment. There are many people who can be seen engrossed in their readings in places such as Tío Jorge Park or the banks of the Ebro River . But, if you are one of those who prefers a table, a cozy place, and, above all, a good coffee to accompany your story, here we show you four literary cafes that you cannot miss in Zaragoza .

THE KIOSK OF LETTERS

With a sign advertising “good coffee” in the centre of its façade, this Zaragoza terrace located in José Antonio Labordeta Park has become a regular meeting point for those looking for a quiet place to enjoy reading and specialty coffee in the open air.

At the entrance of this old library kiosk we can find several shelves where you can find your companion for the evening among its selection of books. In addition, its location makes the Kiosco de la Letras an ideal place to enjoy some time with yourself surrounded by nature in the heart of the city.

But it is not only recommended for reading enthusiasts for its book offering, but also offers activities and events related to literature . In its programming, we can find everything from book presentations to performances and poetry recitals.

THE LITTLE COIN

Le Petit Coin define themselves as a “cultural café” and their slogan “with the soul of books, music and any form of love-art” could not be more appropriate to describe this Zaragoza establishment located at Paseo Ruiseñores, number 13.

They have a vermouth option and have also joined the current gastronomic trend, brunch , but giving it a special touch by accompanying it with live music for their toasts, sandwiches and drinks. And, if you are more into sweet than savoury, you cannot miss their “imperfect cakes” and their croissants.

In addition, there is not only a special space for readers here, but there are also activities of all kinds. At Le Petit Coin you can enjoy everything from magic shows to concerts that, why not, can be the soundtrack to the story you have in your hands.

And not only that, but this café also stands out for its decoration focused on art and, of course, books . With pages of old-looking books hanging from the ceiling and paintings adorning the walls, this place is also a reference point for artists looking to exhibit their works in an environment 100% focused on culture.

DIDOLA COFFEE

The Dídola sandwich shop is the perfect place for children and adults to enjoy a good breakfast or snack in the centre of Zaragoza surrounded by books. With shelves full of books for all ages, this café offers an extensive menu to sample while you enjoy reading one of the books on display or its literary events, such as the literary vermouths organised in the establishment.

It is located on Calle Don Jaime I, number 28 , and not only does it have books and coffee, but among its dishes we can find sandwiches, mixed dishes, starters to share and a special vegan menu. In addition, a must-have in the place are its cakes, which captivate all its customers from the display case as soon as they enter, and which are the perfect complement to accompany their coffees. Although, if you prefer savoury breakfasts, you cannot miss out on trying their homemade potato omelette, which is also available in a vegan version.

It is the perfect place for families who want to enjoy a quiet morning or afternoon, surrounded by books and in a cozy atmosphere. They have a large number of children’s books for the little ones in the house and they allow pets , so you can go to this café in Zaragoza with the whole family.

MOMO CAFE

Momo is a bar-cafeteria located in the university area and is the ideal place to go during breaks between classes and enjoy a calm, pleasant atmosphere and, above all, full of literature. You can find it at Calle Santa Teresa de Jesús, number 28, open for breakfast, snacks and dinners and put the finishing touch to its dishes by trying its range of coffees and infusions.

Among their gastronomic offerings you can find typical Mediterranean recipes and enjoy an affordable menu full of flavour. They have vegetarian and vegan options and you can accompany their dishes with their acclaimed lemonade, their natural fruit smoothies or one of their many beers that they have in their catalogue.

With a bohemian style and shelves full of books as the main decoration, this place stands out above all for its regulars for the tranquility of the room to read or chat with their companions. In addition, at Momo, they are committed to local commerce and offer organic and Aragonese products , such as Frixen Cola. Although, if there is something that is repeated in the cafeteria’s recommendations, it is its teas , which you can accompany with its homemade cakes and biscuits.
