It's a cafe in the basement of a leather good store called "The Secret". We had coffee, and light bites at this cafe and had great conversations. It's hard to find, so you really have to know where it is. The place has signature beverages and other goodies! Great atmosphere too, and very quiet. I'd love to come back here again, but it would probably be a while before I get another Madrid layover.

It's quaint, cozy and romantic too. On top of that it's great food, drinks and the staff are very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Top notch service and I love the way they treat me. Jose is super awesome!!! He has such a great personality. He knows how to communicate even though he can't speak English perfectly but he tried his best to accommodate and understand what I'm talking about. I wish I know how to speak Spanish... He never gave up and wasn't shy about it. He did his job properly and definitely went above and beyond. I love the friendly vibe, he is very professional and hospitable. He is a great asset to this company. Definitely will be back here when I visit Madrid again.

I happily stumbled upon them while on a walking tour with my bff. I was at best, only marginally interested in the tour as the guide wasn't able to hold my attention (Hemingway was right on the money with "I drink to make other people more interesting" as maybe had I had a drink he wouldn't have bored me to pieces within the first 2min) so I spent most of it wandering off and exploring nearby because the entire point of a walking tour is to actually walk while learning fun new things. For instance, I learned where this shop was without directions. I walked right in and there were several people inside but no queue upon my arrival. They have so many options, but being petite I typically rarely if ever wear flats unless they are my tennis shoes. I tried on a few different pairs and sizes since I'm typically a 36 or 37 depending on the style of shoe. A couple color options weren't available in my size but I did find a really nice neutral brown I can pair with plenty. Service was great! My pair cost 25 euro which I felt was extremely reasonable. I only fly with hand luggage which definitely helps limit my spending due to space. Trust me when I say you'll want more than one pair! There's very little I love more than supporting a small buisness with incredible products. The store feels really special, very pleased with my experience. Grateful to have visited and HIGHLY recommend for any Madrid itinerary.

The shoes seem a little more expensive, but everything has gone up in price. Be realistic - know what type of shoes you would wear, what your price point is, and what you like. If you live in a warm climate these shoes are perfect. The store can be overwhelming because there are alot of options, but please do not waste their time. The girl next to me had them bring out 10 pairs of shoes to only buy 1 pair.
