Café Bar Madness specializes in casual dining, offering a delightful array of menu options that cater to all tastes.

Each bite is crafted to beckon your taste buds, allowing you to savor flavors that are both comforting and novel.

Isma Gartzia calls it “one of the best terraces in Zorrotza,” highlighting its perfect location in a pedestrian area.

While the café radiates a cozy charm, there are a few service nuances to note.

Buen local con una de las mejores terrazas de Zorrotza, si no la mejor. Amplia y soleada en una zona peatonal y sin tráfico. Dispone de una variada oferta de pinchos y raciones para picar, además de participar en el pintxo-pote de los jueves y organizar eventos festivos infantiles, como magos, pintacaras y otros espectáculos en fechas señaladas como Halloween, carnavales, fiestas del barrio etc. Muy recomendable.

Ahora mismo tiene buena terraza y se está muy a gusto. Precio correcto. Limpieza y servicio bien. A mejorar el talante del camarero porque es demasiado serio y no da pie a interactuar.
