This place is a bit too expensive, but very good for breakfast as they have several options, quite…read morehealthy and many choices including eggs, yogurt, different breads with homemade marmalades, chocolate, olive oil and, my favorite, tomato :)... They also have very good coffee (strong) and some original juices, and you can choose lactose free milk and soy milk. The place itself is very nice, big room with wooden tables, cozy atmosphere and nice service, probably a good choice if you want a special breakfast day!

This chain is a bit different from the quirky neighborhood spots found nestled around Malasaña…read more Instead, you get an airy and chic looking restaurant with a nice bakery in front and a rustic dining area in the back. After traveling to Paris, I fell in love with the French food and wanted a taste of that in Madrid so stumbled into here for some brunch. Their menu offers a lot of food that you cannot find all over the city- different salads, lighter options, and of course, different types of delicious breads with their jellies and spreads. From the quiche to eggs benedict, I have never been disappointed with the food. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment comes with the service. Each time I have come I felt neglected and like I was fighting to get the workers attention. The food makes you want to come back but after the last time when my relaxing breakfast rendezvous turned into a bitter affair thanks to the service, I am not certain I will ever go back again. At least to this location.

Kibo's a cute little cornerstore/bakery that's open almost always…read more Run by, like so many other places in the area, by a nice Argentinian man, you can imagine what the assortment looks like. It's nice and feels homemade but there are no real Kibo-specials. The space is gorgeous with beautiful windows all over facing the street. Seating is very limited and the chairs don't really tempt me to sit for more than my cup of coffee, if you know what I mean. Service is great and fast and you're always greeted with a smile. Some of the items are in my opinion a little overpriced, not to forget what an entire menu costs in comparison to other places in the neighbourhood. I'll probably be back for a quick cup of coffee "on the go" as the coffee is excellent, but I won't spend hours there.

5 stars for being open before 9AM since it seems impossible to find a specialty coffee shop open…read morethat early. We popped in for a quick coffee before heading to the airport. So grateful they were open; service was quick, I picked up a few items to eat, and I LOVE the wall art inside and outside of the shop. Check this place out if you're in need a coffee early in the morning!

Just when we were ready to collapse from over exploring, Bianchi saved the day with a good caffeine…read morehit. It's a tiny store but the coffee is well prepared via different methods. Espresso (on the La Marzocco), chemex, cold brewed or even granita style with a little panela. We went for a couple of different cold options and enjoyed both (though even the "tiny" amount of panela in the granita was a little too sweet for tus). The cold brewed coffee was excellent, served with plenty of ice and a slice of lemon to bring out the acidity. Refreshing and energising. A great option when you're in the neighbourhood and need a hit.

Service brutally slow and not very attentative staff in general…read more Food quality is good, but still, for what it is, totally overpriced. The "eco" label justifies for something, but not everything. Not my cup of tea.
