Cafetería Okondo

Cafetería Okondo sits quietly on Juan Bautista Zabala Kalea in Getxo, carrying the feel of a classic neighborhood café that’s been part of the local fabric for decades. The interior is modest and somewhat snug, which makes it less about sprawling comfort and more about a familiar, close-knit ambiance where regulars come for steady, unpretentious coffee moments.

One of Okondo’s standout features is its compact but inviting outdoor terrace. On mild afternoons or early evenings, the terrace fills with locals who appreciate a casual spot to relax with a café con leche paired with a small ensaimada or nibble on one of its well-regarded pintxos—the croquetas de jamón and pintxo de talo con chorizo notably draw attention. It’s the kind of place where you can comfortably lose track of time over a good coffee or a quick pit stop before heading off elsewhere.

It’s not a destination for a large group or long stays inside, but its blend of friendly service and a laid-back vibe makes it appealing for those looking to catch a brief break from a busy day. Whether you’re stopping by in the morning for a warm coffee or later in the day for a small pour with a pintxo, the price point stays accessible and consistent with the quality offered.

Overall, Cafetería Okondo fits well as part of the local routine in Getxo—a reliable, down-to-earth café where the terrace and classic bites come together to offer a straightforward, community-driven experience.
