Torilljas with Vanilla Ice Cream and Caramel
Located steps from the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao and seemingly a popular place for business persons and those on-​the-​run, a brief stop at Sanwicoffee was hoped to be just as good as that at Panko the day before, but offering little in the way of environment or customer service the experience was mostly forgettable while the food was mostly the same.
Almost «chain-​like» in its design, though unlikely following any such model considering the lack of smiles and impossibly slow expediting process, Sanwicoffee offers a few mundane pintxos along with breakfast pastries, sandwiches, salads, plus a few kitchen plates and opting mostly for the former plus one postre the € 13.50 total seemed excessive compared to other similar spaces while execution lagged behind.
Starting with a torta that was lighter than many but marred by potatoes that were still too starchy around a pocket of ham and cheese, red flags were raised further by a roll that was undoubtedly at least a day old, not to mention the cream cake with a center so overcooked and undersweet that it may as well have been a hard boiled egg.
Showing signs of life with an apple cake that somehow managed the tricky task of being toothsome yet exceedingly most beneath caramel soaked fruit it was with warm Torrejas that the meal was finished, the whole process completed behind the counter in a convection oven with bread no better than store bought and results about as good as one might expect, all things considered.

Genial para desayunar o tomar la merienda… Sanwiches y batidos para todos: D
