Friends Coffee Shop in A Coruña is a charming spot that’s perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely coffee break. Their menu offers a variety of options, from tapas and bocadillos to hamburgers and sandwiches, all at very reasonable prices. The tapas, starting at just €2.30, are a great way to try several small dishes without breaking the bank. During my recent visit, I enjoyed a coffee paired with a croissant, which was perfectly flaky and filled with just the right amount of chocolate. The coffee was smooth and well-made, providing the perfect companion to the pastry. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and it feels like the kind of place where you could relax for a while. With friendly service and affordable, tasty options, this café is definitely worth a visit if you’re in A Coruña. Highly recommended for coffee and snacks, or even a casual lunch.

3.90€ un café con leche mediano y un pincho de tortilla. El pincho y el café, normalitos. No es la mejor tortilla que he probado pero está buena. El tamaño me parece normal. Atención rápida y eficaz. He visto que en general los precios de la comida son bastante baratos pero no he tenido la ocasión de probarlos, más allá del pincho de tortilla. El local estaba limpio y la decoración era bastante nueva. Edit: la última vez no me gustó la tortilla. Era como una tortilla francesa completamente seca con tropezones de patata cocida.

Great little cafe that provides great food and good beer. A little off the main drags and with the conversations mainly in spanish i knew that it was a place that locals went to so would be good. Had lasagne, croquettes and chorizo with chips (all tapas @1.90) and a pint of estralla for €2.80 which was great value. Worth tracking down
