Since the amigos apartment in Santiago is right on the Camino to Fisterre and Muxia, we got to know the area pretty well. I would highly recommend the Café Tertulia, owned and run by a young eager beaver John Henry (that's his real name even though he is Spanish). He was a barista in the US for years and makes excellent coffee, even with the little swirls of milk in the shape of a heart and all that jazz. He is also extremely accommodating and will cook anything you ask for that he has ingredients for. His menu lists a lot of breakfast and snack options.
To find this place -- the Camino to Fisterre and Muxia leaves from right in front of the parador, goes down the steps and takes little roads essentially straight all the way to an intersection with the Sarela River. The first (and only) traffic light on this part is about three blocks from the cathedral, where you cross the Rua Pombal. The Café Tertulia is on the left corner as you cross the street.
It's open at 7:30 every morning (though I was frequently there at 7:15 and was not the first one to enter) except for Sunday, when it opens at 8:00.
And tell him the americana with white hair said hi! Buen camino, Laurie
