This is a great spot to get American style kind of breakfast but much much better than that! Everything hear is fresh, tasty, fast, and service is super friendly. I love the vibes here as it is super welcoming and you can tell they have regulars come here weekly. Came in while in Madrid when we were craving a great breakfast to jump start our day. We were seated right away when we walked up and taken to the far end of the restaurant. I was glad we were able to also get on the WiFi here too. Look at the walls/signs for the information on password and login. Get an egg Benedict - it was made to order, had the freshest ingredients, and my orange juice was also made minutes before being served it. A fantastic place for breakfast, conversation, and great people. read more

Easily one of the best brunch spots in Madrid, and honestly some of the best food we had in all of Spain. We got the French toast and the huevos rancheros and both were so good. Like, still thinking about them good. The French toast was perfect and the huevos rancheros were packed with flavor and super comforting. Everything just hit. If you're looking for the best brunch spot in Spain, this is it. No question. Would come back in a heartbeat. This place is a must-visit in Madrid. We're already dreaming about coming back!!! (The atmosphere was a 10, service was a 10, food was a 10) read more

it was the best avocado toast I have ever had-- anywhere!! and the chef is an artist with presentation!! absolutely love this place! Highly recommend!! read more

One of the best brunch spots in the city! Carmencita specializes is egg benedicts and they do them perfectly. We tried the bacon and ham ones and they were delicious. The hash browns that come with them are some of the crispiest ones I've ever had. This restaurant does get quite busy though, so make a reservation! We didn't have one but they were kind enough to accommodate us in their second location around the corner. Service was excellent and food came out quickly - definitely a must try! read more

Visited Carmencita on a gloomy Saturday and it was not too busy so we were seated right away. The dining area was small and intimate very light and clean. The server was sweet and helped up pick drinks (mimosa) and decide between items. I ordered the pancakes which were huge but delicious. My friends ordered eggs Benedict and the goat cheese mushroom dish. Everything came out really quick and was amazing. We cleared our plates! read more

Delicious brunch spot in Madrid, Spain! *Cons It's in a alley way that is a little difficult to find! Although the doors are bright green/blue color, it took my friends and I a while to locate the restaurant. However, I do believe that the GPS directed the uber to drop us off on the other side of the alley (basically in a total different alley actually) which is why it was difficult to find. *Pros Everything you see here in these photos!! food and drinks were great! This was probably one of the best eggs benedicts i've ever had! if you like crispy yet not too hard to bite into hashbrowns then GET THEM! they will be right up your alley! I was nervous that because the mimosa was so cheap that it would taste cheap but it was quite the opposite! (i'm from the states where the drinks are overpriced in many states/city's; so to me, a $3 mimosa is inexpensive) Service was also great as well! our server was very accommodating and understanding when we were late to our reservation due to getting lost. She was serving the entire restaurant and was still attentive to each table and had great energy!definitely a place I would put on my list to go back when I visit Madrid again! read more

Amazing experience! Great service and very accommodating for allergies. 10/10 would recommend.

Delicious breakfast. Pancakes are SOOOO GOOD. Best brunch in Madrid staff was friendly and accommodating. All around good vibessss

This is a good place to come if you are missing a nice American-style brunch. They have 1€ mimosas, so if you are looking to drink an afternoon away, this is a good place to start. The restaurant is small and they do get pretty packed so I would recommend making a reservation! What I ordered: I got the mushrooms and goat cheese dish. This comes with a small salad and American-style potatoes. The goat cheese was slightly toasted, which makes it melty and amazing. The meal was good overall and decently priced. The server was pretty attentive and nice (which is rare for Madrid). I don't know if this meal was good enough to where I'll ever come back, but my experience was pleasant overall! read more

¡Comida, ambiante, y servicio fue excelente! ¡La jarra de mimosas es muy barato, 10/10!

If you are in Madrid you must go there. The best egg benedict I have tried. - Avocado was creamy and tasty. - Salmon was fresh and yummy - Beacon was crunchy - The hashbrown were a little burnt but taste really good too. The place is small but has a great vibe. Get there early and sit at the bar. The coffee is also really good and the orange juice taste wonderful compared to the ones in the US. Servers are super friendly and gave us tips on places to go and things to see. Parking is on the street. read more

The place to go for American-styled brunch. . . Which I did not have. A group of us randomly found Carmencita; it was only one of the few places open. I cannot say much for the food, because I only had a small order of potatoes. However, the folks in the restaurant looked pretty content with their food. BUT, the 1€ mimosas was where it's at. I could have stayed there all day sucking down mimosas. read more

We enjoyed their take in eggs Benedict. Not the traditional ones we eat at home but a good selection of Spanish style. I had the Piti, good taste but a little salty for my liking. We enjoyed the sweet potato fries. Husband had the avocado and bacon El Chad? It was very good. read more

The service is good, nice and simple. The food is typical brunch style for all people who wanted brunch. The ambiance is good for tourists and people to go around the area but it is small but it's typical if you're exploring or living in a city. read more

Probably the best coffee I've had in Spain so far! Our waitress was very sweet, attentive, and funny. We didn't have a reservation (so I recommend doing that before hand if you are able) but she sat my friends and I anyway. She recommended the mocha lattes since it was international chocolate day and it was definitely the right choice. The bunny plate was delicious, I was struggling to finish because of how much food it was. As someone who always likes to try others' food, I liked this plate because it had a variety of add-ons per Benedict. One was avocado, another bacon, and the last was salmon. All were delicious and had the perfect amount of lemon flavor. Carmencita knows how to cook a mean Eggs Benedict! read more

I want to marry the man who invented brunch, Guy Beringer. In his article "Brunch: A Plea" written in 1896 he begged for a meal that would allow carousers to stay out later without the obligation of having to wake up early for breakfast the following evening. Not only that, brunch "is cheerful, sociable and inciting. It is talk-compelling. It puts you in a good temper, it makes you satisfied with yourself and your fellow beings, it sweeps away the worries and cobwebs of the week." My hero. But the people at Carmencita might also be my heroes for providing an affordable and delicious brunch at just the right time. My one complaint about brunch? I always want everything (especially after the 1 Euro mimosas start being poured). They offer huevos rancheros, french toast, eggs and my favorite eggs benedict. I went with one salmon and one avocado benedict and potatoes were served on the side. After drizzling some Tabasco on top, I devoured every last bite as did my brunch date who got the same. The servers (who seemed to be American) were really nice and welcoming. The area is pretty small so you might have to wait a little bit to get a table. read more

Carmencita - Eggs Benedict for Two - Modern European Near Me - Madrid, M

Carmencita was great for brunch. I ordered the French toast with bacon & eggs. DELICIOUS my bacon was actually cooked. I topped it off with mimosas which were made with freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also people watch if you sit in the front area and that's exactly what I was doing. The staff was nice and friendly so there is no complaints. It's worth checking out if you are going to be in Madrid. read more

The service was excellent! The chef Pili made sure that the food was properly prepared for those with gluten allergy. The food was delicious! read more

Hands down - the best eggs Benedict I've had. This restaurant is a MUST! Carmencita has fantastic and extremely filling food (I've never had a more filling breakfast), and the XXL mimosas are very delicious. I ordered the bunny plate with 2 bacon eggs Benedict and 1 avocado eggs benedict, and my table ordered the new slow cooked pork eggs Benedict to share. Both were 10/10. The eggs were not overcooked, and the bacon especially was perfect. Highly recommend this place. Try to make a reservation in advance. There is not a lot of space for walk ins read more

Carmencita - Modern European Near Me - Madrid, M

Great place for brunch Brunch meal is awesome and cost effective 14€ includes eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, guacamole or bacon and a side of either home fries, hash browns or salad. This all comes with coffee, a glass of mimosa and a dessert choice of chocolate or carrot cake. The place is tiny and I do recommend making a reservation because this place is really popular. I do wish it was unlimited mimosas for at least an 1 hour!! Good service for Madrid and easy to get too. I will definitely be returning before I leave Madrid. Cheers read more

Probably the best brunch in Madrid! I love the atmosphere in this place, really cute and American style. I ordered the 'American plate' and it was really good; my friends had burgers or eggs benedicts. All the food was good! We had mimosas to drink and Bloody Mary. The price was ok for all the food and drinks in downtown Madrid! I highly recommend this place! I'll come back read more

While visiting Spain I was desperately craving an American breakfast! To my surprise it's not common to find an egg breakfast in Madrid but after searching Yelp I came across this place and was so excited. I didn't know what to expect but it was delicious! I ordered the French toast with a side of cheese scrambled eggs and hash browns. Everything was so good, the French toast had the perfect amount of sweetness, the hash browns was salted to perfection, and those cheese eggs were some of the best eggs ever! I was so surprised that I loved my food so much. Now unfortunately this place is very small and very busy. The kitchen is tiny but they try their best to get all of the food out as quick as possible. I sat at the bar and I saw the staff working hard so I can appreciate that. read more

Tip: make reservations! We came in for breakfast and were blown away! The quality of the food and presentation was amazing Service was fast, polite, and kind Serving sizes are quite large and the American coffee was such a great find here read more

Don't do the mistake that I did of only coming in for a michelada. That "friendly service" that everyone claims is immediately out the door. Being jet-lagged, I ordered a michelada. Looking at the menu, due to nausea, I wasn't craving much. When the (ridiculously rude) waitress came to get my order, upon hearing that I only wanted the drink, she rolled her eyes and said that this is not a bar. In a very loud voice, she mentioned that I will need to get up in the event that someone needed the table. Michelada was good, though. Service killed it. read more

Excellent service, excellent food. Great place for brunch / breakfast. Incredibly friendly staff.

Very fresh food and the service is great. We ate the Eggs Benedict and they were made in a very accurate way.

We came here for Saturday brunch on a recent trip to Madrid. I found Carmencita from the great reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor. When we arrived the restaurant was quite busy but we were seated within about 20 minutes. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. The menu was simple and had some of our favorite breakfast items listed. Mimosas were 1 Euro which is an excellent deal and they were delicious! We ordered French toast, hash browns, mushroom goat cheese scramble, and the American breakfast all of which were delicious. The benedicts looked divine. They were served on bagels. Everything was super fresh and perfectly cooked. We loved it so much we made reservations and came back the next day. We would most definitely eat here again. read more

When you hear Carmencita, it is neither the movie Carmencita nor the Spanish-style dancer Carmencita. Once you step into Malasaña, you'll probably know it by heart that it's everyone's spot and will be yours once you visit. Bottom line, Carmencita is the famous haunter cafe in the neighbourhood and counted multicultural eatery. It is relatively small but big enough to get social and party. You can give birthdays or special event here. Intercambio nights take place here every week. The owner lady speaks English and it makes the place more appealing for foreigners. It is likely to bump into them anytime. What's more and more appealing is that those delicious fresh American burgers! They have the best burger in the city and some credit should be given for the popularity of the place. Brunches, sandwiches, tapas and vegetarian dishes are also on your service accompanied with a wide variety of cocktails and drinks. read more

We went to this place cause we heard they had best eggs Benedict in town...but it did not meet our expectations: - We made a reservation ahead and when we arrived they sat us in another restaurant a few doors from the original place. It was really tiny and a bit dirty, we got a broken glass and glass on top of the table was also broken - I like my eggs on English muffin but they came in regular bread - Our order took 25 minutes and they made a mistake on the side so we needed to wait another 10 minutes Good thing is that mimosas were 1€! read more
