Went for the cheesecake. Delish. Cute and quaint bohemian vibe, perfect cool down after tapas. No cuppos sangria but the red wine with limon and vermouth tasted in the ballpark. Ill be back. read more

I had the tuna belly with the croissant and it was delicious. My friend order the Arctic salmon sandwich and enjoyed it very much. The cafe is really cute and cozy. Service was OK, people were a little rude. We had one issue with the waitress, she never asked us if we wanted to be charged Euros vs US dollars. When asked her about it, she rudely said that is not her problem and it was our problem with the bank. I didn't expect such a response. It could of easily been voided and do over. read more

If you like rules, this place is for you. When I walked in a man stopped me and told me I could only sit at a stool at a hightop because I am by myself. I asked to sit at one of the many available comfy chairs and he told me those seats are only for groups. Tried to use my laptop and they told me I could not use my laptop because it is Thursday. Cute environment, terrible service. I took a picture of the empty seats I was not allowed to sit at. read more

Café de la Luz - Not allowed to sit in open seats because I was by myself. Could only sit at a stool. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madrid, M

Lovely cafe, dimly lit and mismatched furniture create a chill, Bohemian vibe. Had a pretty good cafe con leche and an excellent toast with goat cheese, arugula, and fig jam. Taking off a star for being too strict and a little unwelcoming with seating rules. Despite multiple tables, couches, and chairs being open on a Saturday afternoon, I was told people alone need to sit at the bar. If someone wasn't eating and only drinking coffee they would also need to sit at the bar. Mind you the bar is small and a far less comfortable experience than the rest of the cafe looked so despite the Instagram-worthy pictures of this place, beware unless you are 2+ and eating, you won't get to enjoy those environs. read more

Adorable little cafe near the very busy puerta del sol. Came here for a bite in the afternoon and found others reading or relaxing in the cafe. No laptops allowed though! We had some tostas and coffee and delicious fresh squeezed orange juice. The salmon tosta was a bit underwhelming, just a bad cut of salmon that wasn't super fresh it seemed. But other than that it was great, would recommend as a cozy getaway from the busy city center! read more

Coffee was tasty and was a good place to hang if you don't come to coffee shops to do work. The design of the space is interesting, with a mix of old school and new furniture. Things I wish I knew before I came: (1) They don't allow the use of laptops or iPads in the coffee shop. (2) There's also no AC. read more

This café was so much fun! I came with my friends to hangout and get some drinks. I just had a smoothie, but it was VERY refreshing. My friends had tea, coffee, and cider, which they were all content with. As for the vibe, I really like the atmosphere of this café! They play fun music and have aesthetic seating and decor. It's a bit loud in the restaurant but I think that's just part of the vibe! read more

Came here to grab some food while waiting for our airbnb checkin time. The cafe is very intimate and cozy. They also had free WiFi which was really convenient! I got the cappuccino with oat milk, was very happy that they had the oat milk option. Boyfriend thought his coffee was just alright though. We also got the meat with tomato sauce on toast and a Mediterranean croissant sandwich, they were both really good and reasonably priced. read more

Nice little cafe with a pleasant ambiance! Servers were friendly. We enjoyed our "mini brunch".

Unless you are with more people the staff will stop you from sitting anywhere else other than the narrow bar...so if you go alone you will not be comfortable read more

This cute little cafe had lots of comfy couches to sit on. It seems like a quiet place to get a drink or work on things; however, if you go on the weekend, it might not be as quiet as it normally is. What I ordered: I got the goat cheese salad and a cafe con leche. The salad was great, but there was nothing original about it. The coffee was good and what I expected it to be like. They had a fairly large menu with many food and drink options (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Not my new favorite place, but still a nice, cozy spot! read more

We were lucky enough to come here twice in our trip and enjoyed both times. At first, we were looking for a oval cafe that was not in the main tourist areas. Cafe de la luz was just that! It's small inside and filled with locals. We both got the iced coffees to enjoy. They have WiFi and would be a good spot to work out of. Second time we went we got drinks before a flamenco show. Same fun and low key setting but still really fun. Hope to be back someday! read more

By far one of my favorite breakfast experiences in Spain. Let me just throw it out there that is is probably my favorite breakfast experience in Europe. My husband and i did a lot of research before we arrived upon our conclusion to have breakfast here. The location was about a 10-15 min walk from our hotel so we were excited to try something local and small during our stay in Madrid. If you don't look quickly or closely enough, you could easily walk by this fine establishment. When inside, we were quickly seated at a small pub table booth near the window. My husband and I both ordered the ham and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich. We also ordered two coffees with milk. I ordered an orange juice and my husband ordered a bloody mary which he thought was fantastic. Our breakfast was simplistic but amazing. We never felt rushed and we enjoyed the chill atmosphere. The server was pleasant and attentive. The bathrooms are downstairs so make sure you know that you will have to climb up and down the stairs to get to the restroom. Overall, a great experience and a wonderful breakfast. I have absolutely no complaints. Only that we didn't come here more than once! read more

Nice place at the corner of street. I like the salmon toast very much! The burritos are small and look cute, kinda like the idea it's toasted in the oven makes the skin taste good. At last, we shared one slice of chocolate cake, amazing! read more

Came here for breakfast while I was in Madrid and I was not impressed. They were not open on time which was frustrating because we had a tour an 11AM so our breakfast ended up being rushed. The cappuccino was the only thing I enjoyed. I ordered the toast with goat cheese and sautéed onions and it was gross. I ended up not eating the goat cheese because it smelt and tasted weird so I wasn't chancing it. Something was definitely wrong. Yuck! My fiancé had the ham and cheese on a croissant and he said it was okay. Overall, not the best place to eat in Madrid. read more

Very cute, cozy, and intimate cafe in Madrid. I can't get over the low prices of breakfast in Espana - especially when you consider that the zumo is fresh and so so tasty. The coffee was perfect, and I got the croissant with jam - oh man, the jam in Spain is a fruit party in your mouth. Everything just seems better in Spain. Should probably move there so I can eat all the croissants, drink all the coffee and all the zumo. read more

I came here for brunch with a friend on my last day in Madrid. I really wished I had found out about this place sooner, I would have came here for brunch/lunch everyday (rather than Mercado St. Miguel). We came in at 11:45AM on a Wednesday and found an adorable two-seater right away. We opted for the brunch special (offered until 1PM) for 9,90€. The set let's you have your choice of coffee/tea/cola + freshly pressed OJ + choice of toast + choice of cake. Ambience: cozy, beautifully decorated. Great spot to have a coffee, snack or meal solo or with a friend. There is no a/c and it was 36*C today - thankfully we sat by the door so there was a breeze. Food, in the order I received them: 1. Espresso: Was more like a double espresso. Delicious, with a nice crema. 2. Freshly pressed OJ: Refreshing! Had pulp on the top (I'm a fan). 3. Toast with arugula, goat cheese and fig jam: Delicious and the portion of cheese and jam was generous. It was served on a crispy slice of bread. Flavourful and rich. Highly recommended. 4. Red velvet cake: Not my favourite, and it had a bright red colour to it. On the dry side - I would pass and go for the carrot cake or chocolate cake. Overall we had a great brunch experience here. It was a lovely spot to chit chat and eat and drink quality food at such an affordable price. I'm impressed! read more

Love this place! Such a cute cafe especially for breakfast/brunch. The customer service was great. And if you don't speak Spanish, not a problem. The workers there speak English and they have an English menu. I had the mini brunch. It came with orange juice (it was fresh squeeze and very sweet), tea/coffee, pick of toast, and cake. For the toast I had the salmon lox. I really enjoyed it; there wasn't too much Creme cheese in it. For cake I tried the chocolate. Omg it's to die for! And the carrot cake was amazing too. read more

Cute setting but the lady that works there can be really rude to you. She made me and many other customers move and laptops are not allowed. I got recommended by a friend as a nice place to do work but I couldn't get anything done. read more

Wow, I'm pretty lucky to have booked a hotel near this cafe. It seems like good service is part of Spanish culture. The waiter/bartender was super friendly. I ordered the "Nordic" which is the smoked salmon sandwich and a spinach quiche. Both of which tasted amazing. It's kinda busy in the evening, so it's hard to find good seats. Other than that, the positive reviews speak the truth. This café is quite the gem. read more

I waited 10 minutes and no one came to my table. It wasn't that busy. We just left and went somewhere else.

After 2 months in Madrid I found this place and totally felt in love with it at the first time. It's cozy and friendly, near Gran Via and offers a reasonable menu with a range of food and drink choices. Of course a bit crowded in the holidays or weekends but it doesn't matter to me, I love the vibes here and absolutely it's gonna be my favorite spot in Madrid. read more
