We swung by for dessert. I got the toffee cheese cake in a cup, my daughter the carrot cake. The carrot cake was dry and underwhelming but the toffee cheese cake cup what excellent. I could not eat the. Whole cup so my daughter who was unhappy with her dry carrot cake ate the other half of my cup. I will say we went in at 7pm... so I'm sure the cake was out all day and may have been better earlier in the day. I guess moral of this story, if you want cake, get it early in the day otherwise choose something else. read more

Gluten Free in Madrid - you will want to stop by here. While a lot of places in the city offer GF options, Celicioco is all GF and has a wide selection, including hot food and not just bakery treats. The pastries and bakery treats were amazing though and the only regret we have is that we're not in Madrid any more and can't go back. read more

This is a must stop if you're gf. We only picked up baked goods but they were delicious. The apple pie is really good and the lemon bread was a little dry but paired really well with tea (and I'm sure coffee). We got a couple other things but I can't remember what they were called and they too were yummy. Definitely recommend. read more

We came to this place to try their vegan pastries because it was literally around the corner from our hotel. They have several options for vegans, such as cupcakes and cakes as well as plant based milks like oat and I believe soy and almond. We got the coconut milk, a slice of double chocolate cake, a chocolate cupcake, and a slice of raspberry chocolate cake. It all tasted great! There is plenty of indoor seating just passed the counter and they will serve it to you. It is cute inside. The guy working the day we went could have been a little friendlier, but nothing too egregious. read more

So nice to have a completely gluten free bakery! Admittedly I stopped in several times in my 2 weeks here. I tried their cookies (so hard, you may chip a tooth!), a jamón con queso sin lactosa sandwich (pretty good, their bread is quite thick so I ended up tossing one slice), a chia pudding (as expected with a strong coconut flavor), and their vegan chocolate cuco cake (great icing, dry cake). I've also tried their tostadas and zumos. I've definitely had better bakery items but it's nice to eat here without worry. read more

first time in Spain. was walking around Madrid. We got tired & thirsty and wanted to use the toilette. Went inside this nice coffee place & ordered an expresso, water & mocha frappe. Then decided to order 2 cute mini cupcake. Everything was fine ( the cashier only speak Spanish). Then our bill came in at 24 Euros ( which made question why so much ?) i asked them & they said they didn't even charged me for the cupcakes ( that it's a promotion- they said it on a broken English. i then demanded a receipt and guess what - they charged me not only for the 2 mini cupcakes but they added another cupcake on top that i never ordered. then they got all hissy -pissy about the whole thing & gave me back 4Euros. No apologies- nothing. It's not the amount- it's the principle of having a business and being shady about the whole thing. Tourist - Beware. read more

After visiting a different branch of Celicioso earlier in the week, we decided to give this one a try. It's a fairly small unit, with a counter in the front and a small dining area in the back. Unfortunately our visit was cut short... we were here because my partner was on a very restricted diet and there were only a couple of egg dishes on the menu which he could eat... and the staff told us they were all out of eggs! Staff were very helpful and pleasant though... but it would have been helpful to be told about items they were out of before spending time perusing the menu and waiting for someone to take our order. read more

Although the food was wonderful, the staff was not very helpful and this is the reason I give them 3 stars. Their menu identifies what's dairy free but the staff did not agree. I would go during the day when it is not a peak time. read more

I am super happy that I found this gluten free heaven via Yelp. There are a couple of locations in Madrid but we went to the one nearest to Gran Via. It is off a smaller street from Gran Via, but still a tiny busy street. But Celicioso has a back area to eat that is really zen. The decor and the music imparts that of a Buddhist theme. It is easy to order takeaway at the counter or ask to be a seated in the zen area. The employees are truly patient because there are all lot of tempting healthy fare on the menu. Not only is this place gluten free, but they are very accommodating to many other dietary restrictions. They have coffee, tea, and pre-bottled drinks that support local businesses (kombucha, charcoal lemonade are examples). The star of Celisioso are the desserts. Gluten free, vegan, raw, etc. . . So many delicious choices! Just the raw, gluten free, vegan, sugar free cakes alone were hard to choose among! We opted to share a chocolate raspberry cake. Although sugar free, the cake was densely chocolately and yummy. We were thoroughly surprised. I do not recommend too highly the sandwiches though. I recommend the avo toast. The sandwiches were tasty, bit were not bursting with ingredients nor flavor when we ordered our respective panini sandwiches. I understand panini sandwiches cannot be stuffed with too much, but the items inside of our sandwiches were lacking. Oh well. . . More room for dessert! read more

Great gluten-free lunch and desserts in Central Madrid. Really enjoyed the eggs, Benedict and the red velvet cupcake.

So I thought this was a pretty good choice and was part cafe and part bakery. The offered a very tasty and healthy chicken poke. The chicken was warm. They have a lot of gluten free baked goods. The almond cake known as Santiago is a specialty. The coffee was prepared well. read more

This place has an amazing menu! For a coffee & tea place, there's a surprising number of food options, as well as fresh pressed juices and options for many dietary concerns (gluten free, sugar free, vegan, lactose free). I tried the weirdest thing on the menu: a beet and açaí latte, and it was good! Very earthy but smooth. read more

Answer to prayers! The food was ALL Gluten-free!!! ALL! And...it was really good! To be able to pick anything was fantastic. The first time in ages I got to order dessert too. Wow. So, without further ado lol...I had the 'burratta with friends' salad (which wasn't salad but zoodles and I loved that). My friend and I split the stuffed avocado (beef) and for her meal the 'Crunchy bold' sandwich. She got a strawberry goji to drink and I had the spicy bomb which was fantastic. Everything was so great we had to get cupcakes too. She had an amazing red velvet and I had the banana marscapone-both so delicious! I'm so happy I found this spot. read more

We need one of these in Seattle and Bainbridge Island. Everything was so good here it's hard to believe it's GF.

I went to Celiciso today having seen the good reviews and I need to follow a Gluten Free diet. . Since going into Madrid, I have had terrible meal to terrible meal including food poisoning but my luck ended today. I ordered a Gluten Free Cheese and Tomato Sandwich and I was delighted to find the muffin home made, the muffin was very crispy and the toppings were very nice. I was also delighted that they made me a home made iced tea, it tasted a little watery but I still enjoyed the flavour with it not being Lemon which seems to be the only one I can find in Madrid. I also ordered a Carrot Cupcake, it looked and tasted very nice, being Gluten Free, it was phenomenal. Non coeliac's definitely would be unable to tell that the muffin or the cupcake was Gluten Free. As I only speak English, It didn't make communication hard as the staff spoke English and one of them written down the names and addresses of nearby restaurants with a Gluten Free menu, an amazing gesture! The staff even give me a few free cookies and cakes along the way, and not just samples! I pledged my loyalty to this resturant, visiitng once or even twice every day of my holiday to Madrid and I will do the same again as finding a Gluten Free cafe or resturant with nice food or sweet treats in Madrid was really difficult and this place raises the barrier for them all. I never thought I would have a experience as good as this in Madrid! Every Coeliac visiting Madrid must visit here! read more

While visiting Madrid my friend took me here for a special treat ! It been a good while since my last cup cake as gluten free ones are kinda tricky to track down! We came there during the late afternoon so they been sold out of a few ones but still I never saw such a huge variety of gluten free cupcakes looking at me ! I felt like in a little heaven of cupcakes , cakes, cookies and no worries about my all allergies ! I already was amazed but the fact they offered 3 type of vegan ones totally made my day ! Me trying to be good decided only to go for one; the chocolate one and my friend ordered the peanut butter one but I shall return before my Madrid trip is over ! Overall super delicious tasting cupcakes , cute layout and friendly service ! read more

Was walking by and thought... desserts? Yes, please!! Celicioso had a good sized line of people waiting to order but it went quickly and was worth the wait. My friend and I split a Lemon cupcake and a red velvet. Although they weren't super loaded with a tower of frosting as is usual in the states. These were delish and a welcome treat during long day of sightseeing! read more

Being gluten free in Spain is almost impossible. Every meal includes bread, pasta or some sort of food with gluten in it. I happened to stumble upon this bakery while walking through Chueca and it has the absolute best gluten free desserts I've ever eaten. Coming from the United States, there are many gluten free bakeries but I've never tasted anything as good as this one. I had the brownie, chocolate cupcake and nutella cookie sandwich. All of them are so amazing and even better than gluten filled goodies. During my semester here, I will be back to this bakery at least once a week! So delicious. read more

This place is AMAZING! Seriously, Madrid was a great city to visit for the weekend but this place was my highlight! Cakes galore! An entire menu FULL of gluten free cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes... plus hot chocolate with lactose free milk. Heavenly! The best part was, when I arrived I hadn't had lunch and Celicioso sell sandwiches! I had a delicious toasted turkey sandwich which was perfection. The bread was delicious! I overindulged on sugar after my sandwich though. The Black Velvet cake was, in my opinion, the winner. Deep dark chocolate, with icing the complements the flavours perfectly. The carrot cake was nice, though not what I was expecting. It was a very smooth texture, no nuts or seeds or anything in there to give it that usual carrot cake crunch but it had a really nice spice flavour to it. The chocolate extravaganza cupcake was good but it didn't compete with the black velvet for real chocolate lovers! The banana bread and the carrot bread were also really delicious and would be a great addition to a nice cup of tea or coffee. I was blown away by the menu at Celicioso though I'd love to see more savoury items on the menu and even some pastries! The store gets really busy so if you're wanting to eat in be aware you may have to wait a while for a table. read more

I've been to the other location and I have to say I prefer that one over the one I visited today. The other location has more food options while this is mainly a pastry shop. I ordered the chicken and pesto sandwich-- the chicken was "breaded" with sesame seeds and it got a little over-toasted so I had a burnt flavor in my mouth, the pesto also left something to be desired in the flavor department. I also ordered an green tea and lemon iced tea which tasted a little watered down (although it might be because they use slushed ice). What saved the late lunch was the slice of banoffee cake that I split with my friend. It was very moist and I liked the toffee inside. However, i've had outstanding banoffee elsewhere and I think freshly whipped topping, maybe even some banana slices would have been nice. I think I'll stick to the more amplified location closer to calle de barquillo.p read more

This is my daughter's favorite bakery in Madrid, so she took me there today for some cake and a coffee. I had a slice of carrot cake and it was excellent. The coffee was good too. We ended up getting six cup cakes to take away as well - a couple chocolate peanut butter ones, one that looked like a rose that I didn't try yet, a carrot cake one and a couple others that her friends devoured. The young ladies working there spoke excellent English and were very charming. There is also free wifi! read more

Great bakery and coffee shop if you're looking for a cool place to catch up ons some work on your laptop. There's a small storefront bakery and coffee shop and a larger seating area in the back. You can order a coffee at the bakery counter or there's a waiter service if you'd like to order a small meal. The staff is friendly and the place is very quiet so it's great spot for working on your laptop, The staff will leave you alone if you prefer or happily serve you, depedending on your preferences. The Americano here was good and inexpensive. read more

This place exceeded my expectations. Not only did it have a great vibe but also it had great food. Here's my order: a cappuccino for 2€, a sandwich for 3.9€ and a piece of cheesecake for 3.20€. The cappuccino was not only a great size but also very good. As for the sandwich, it felt like the healthiest sandwich I've had specially. I also liked the touch of olive oil that they used, I felt that it's very original. As for the cheesecake it was very good considering it was not from New York. The only thing was that the customer service lacked since we sat there waiting for someone to ask our order. Besides that it's a must do. read more

After going through so much pain this morning from risking and eating gluten free items I had to find a place worth gluten free options. I am beyond thankful I came across this place! I had no idea Yelp was in Spain and it helped tremendously finding gluten free options. Their lasagna was out this door! I got the Energy detox drink to clear out my system from all the food I had last night. I also got carrot bread for dessert. The bread did have a little to much of something not sure what exactly but overall despite that my experience was A1! read more

What is the fuss about this place? This one girl spoke zero English, so I couldn't ask her a thing other than does anyone else speak English? I finished ordering the second girl standing next to her started talking in English - great - you work in hospitality and you don't want to help your Co worker or customer out??? if you don't like tourists, find a job where you don't have to deal with tourists The cupcake is okay - nothing special, kinda dry and the latte was normal - but the attitude left a sour taste in my mouth Does Gluten free mean - mediocre? read more

10 out of 10. I had the MOST delicious sandwich on the best bread that was toasted so it was crispy/crunchy but also fluffy- ham and cheese. Can't get over this awesome gluten free experience. The cappuccino was good and the server was great and didn't mind that we knew 0 Spanish. The carrot cake was very good and the triple chocolate cake (recommended by the server) was even better. We got those heart shaped chocolate dipped pastries I see all those gluten ppl eating so I got one too and it was awesome. The salmon sandwich wasn't my favorite but it was good quality I just don't like warm salmon like that. read more

We came in the biggest peek on Saturday afternoon. Not only all the sitting tables were taken, there was a line all the way outside of the shop. We knew right away, we are at the best address, where the best cupcakes are made. Although the line was very long, the staff was very friendly. I saw 7 people behind the counter all doing a fantastic job. We took a peanut butter cupcake with dark chocolate, hot chocolate with whip cream and a cappuccino. The order was absolutely delicious and I cant wait to come again for longer. read more

Fancy cake shop in Chueca with fast and efficient service, could be a good option for those tolerant to gluten, etc. Any way, decided to give it a shot. Have ordered 4 different items (cupcakes and cakes) and NOT gluten/suger-free. So excited to dig in, started a bite from one to another but unfortunately was unable to find an epsilon of taste. My experience was disappointing regarding to flavour and taste of a "top rated" bakery in Madrid. read more
