Not allowed to sit in open seats because I was by myself. Could only sit at a stool.

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.

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!

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.

I really enjoyed this cafe! Good coffee, food, and environment. The service was great. I got the jamón tostas and I really enjoyed it as well. Good selection and not too busy!

Goat cheese salad

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!

Toast with Arugula, Queso de Cabra, and Fig Jam.

Food was very cheap! The place was super cute and quaint. I really enjoyed the toast with queso de cabra, arugula, and fig jam!

Hidden gem in the middle of hustle and bustle in Madrid. Chic design, cozy and comfy. Great food and drinks. We had the mini brunch. Very good price. We had a wonderful and welcoming server name Blanca, along with her co-workers. Ambience was excellent. Definitely visit again. Thank you for your hospitality

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!

Awesome spot. Small and quaint. Jazz playing on the back and lits of natural light if you are planning to do some work. Cafe con leche was very good and the toast and mermalade warm and ready. Service was average. Overall super recommended.

I had a lomito sandwich and it was THE BEST SANDWICH I've ever had. EVER. The service was great and the place is very cozy. My friend and I enjoyed being there and our meal was delicious. Great place to stop by!

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!

Great place for breakfast or brunch Nice ambiance and cool setting Coffee and cappuccinos are really good, and the orange juice was really fresh The arugula goat cheese and jam over olive oil on toast was absolutely delicious

Café Mür - Mini sweet brunch

People in Madrid love carrot cake (tarta de zanahoria) and Cafe Mur is THE place to go for carrot…read morecake. Unless you have the appetite of Mike Tyson, plan on sharing one slice between 1 (maybe 2) friends. I've never had any of the other food, but given the lines I see on the weekends for brunch, I'm sure it's delicious too. Mur is super cute inside and well worth the visit. Come before 10pm and get the 'Gin-Cake' special, which is a GinTonic and piece of carrot cake for 10€. Given that the carrot cake is normally 4.90€, picking up a G&T for 5€ ain't a bad deal! Or if you aren't in the mood for alcohol, Mur has an awesome selection of Teas too.

Stopped by here for the sweet mini brunch after a long night and had a pretty decent experience…read more The inside on the downstairs floor is decorated and looks like a home with couches, comfy chairs, and warm lighting. Service was quick but took a longg time to bring our check which is pretty typical in Europe honestly. The mini sweet brunch was only 10 euro and included a hot drink (tea, coffee), cold drink, croissant, and choice of baked apples or yogurt with granola and chocolate chips. The croissant was warmed and yummy. The baked apples topped with whipped cream were served cold, but they definitely would've tasted better warm. Overall: cozy, affordable place near Plaza España for breakfast if you're not too hungry or in a rush

Hands down one of the best places we visited in Madrid. We are so grateful that we stumbled on this…read moreplace. Located around la Plaza de las Comendadoras, it may not seem like much from the outside. However, if you do happen to visit you won't be disappointed. They have tables available outside on the patio. On the inside they have quite the expansive space with tables for eating, a large table for folks to study/work and then bar seats along some windows. Their menu is amazing. They have so many choices. We ended up dining here for lunch on two different occasions. On the first day we ordered a BLAT sandwich, and a crispy chicken salad. Our little guy had their Greek yogurt with nuts and berries. All the flavors were delicious. On the second day we had nasi goreng and the yellow curry. It's amazing that with such a diverse menu, every dish tasted excellent. The service and staff were also great. On both days they were on point. Busy helping everyone either inside or out. Always polite and quick to stop by when we wanted to order or ask a question. We will definitely miss this spot. I wish one would open up in NYC someday!

A very cute cafe with delicious food! Service was great. I had the fluffy pancakes with banana…read morewhich was fantastic and large in portion size. The lychee Jasmine tea is unsweetened, just FYI. They had a little sign up that says not to use laptops here on weekends ‍ Overall, this seemed like a popular, busy spot and I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area!
