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.

It is funny, several months later, one of the last reviews I have to write for a trip that was now…read moreseveral months ago... one of the first places I stopped that trip, on our way to Portugal by way of an intentionally several day long "layover" in Madrid. I'm not normally a breakfast person, but, well, a lot changes when I'm on vacation, especially in cities so known for their food, and more specifically, their coffee and pastries. They do have a slightly confusing system for ordering - at least when I was there, the pastries are in the front and ordered individually from there, like a bakery, but if you're getting drinks to drink there, you have to sit down and wait for a waiter, then if you're getting both, get up again to buy pastries, which they will then put on your open tab. Thankfully, everyone spoke perfect English, so it was an easy enough explanation and process - still a bit weird though. And we still got our coffee orders in like 3 minutes. Coffee-wise, we tried their fancy "Dubai matcha latte", which was... very good, super flavorful, just slightly sweet (it came with a sugar packet if you wanted it sweeter, which it definitely didn't need to be.) Not sure it justified, to me personally, being so much more expensive than all the extremely affordable, less "specialty" drinks, but it was very good. Also a "bombon", a drink word I also learned that day, and then was sad when I didn't see it on the menus at any of the other coffee shops I stopped at, because it was quite good, and, again, also quite cheap. *Super* sweet, obviously, but great. (I was amused that that one *also* came with a sugar packet, which it *definitely* didn't need.) I also tried their chocolate croissant, which, yeah, wonderful. Their pastries are a bit pricier than the coffee drinks, but the croissant melts in your mouth, great chocolate, tons of it, and not, as is often the case with otherwise good chocolate croissants, only in the center. Chocolate actually everywhere. A great croissant. Would definitely be back here often, if I weren't thousands of miles away, normally.

At first we were sad that when we realized the Saturday Sunday menu was what we were looking at online but it ended up being okay. I got the big toast, cappuccino, and orange juice. My mom got the chicken bowl and chai. My brother got the pancakes and latte. My dad got the protein bowl with a double shot of espresso. For dessert we all shared the pandan. Not a single thing disappointed us it was all phenomenal. The server was so kind and so american friendly which wasn't very common for us on our trip. She even went as far as writing us a list of recommendations of things to do and places to eat for our final day. I am very impressed by this place and recommend it to everyone!

It's a little off the beaten path from the super touristy areas of Madrid, but so worth it. The café is pretty tiny with only 5-6 tables to sit at. If you're a regular like me, you can join their rewards program, which offers a free drink after a purchase of 10. This is the first time I found cold drip in Madrid. SO EXCITING. They let it brew for 8 hours, and it is absolutely delicious. Santa Kafeina also offers a selection of baked goods like banana chocolate chip bread (get it warmed up), and a wide selection of toasts. I've had both the avocado toast, which is both cheap and delicious. And the strawberry toast, which is just cream cheese with strawberry jam (still delicious). If you like good coffee, good food, affordable prices, and the FRIENDLIEST staff, Santa Kafeina is your place.
