We happened upon it and I was so pleasantly surprised. I think we went three times during our time in Madrid. I loved the counter experience, I'd definitely recommend that option. I wasn't looking to sit down and do all of that upstairs so my review is solely based on counters on the first floor. The locals love this spot and that is quite obvious. I was told in advance that they do and coming here was very enjoyable. The pastries and coffee are very yummy, you won't be disappointed. Makes for the perfect spot if you really want to get your day started but want to grab a quick bite before doing so.

They even had Peanut flavor, being American I'm a huge fan of peanut butter and have reluctantly submitted to there being next to no peanut butter flavored desserts in Europe or South America for that matter. So, on top of my dessert being stand alone awesome I also enjoyed Peanut flavored ice cream on top!!! The gent behind the counter makes the ice cream down stairs. You can tell he takes exceptional pride in his ice cream. He said not many people like peanut flavored ice cream but he does so he makes it! Cheers to you my friend! Us peanut butter lovers need to stick together.

Lots of little places to choose from and the ability to try many different things in one place. The night we went it was crazy but no line was terribly long. The vendors definitely had how to handle crowds down. I stopped by the Albondigas (meatball) stand and the mozzarella stand and grabbed a limoncello spritz. Got a pistachio raspberry pastry on our way out as well. This spot was hustling and bustling for a reason, it was a great place to grab a bite and sit a second.

Review: Gioelia Cremería Madrid If you are looking for an…read moreexceptional gelato experience in Madrid, Gioelia Cremería is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is clean, bright, and incredibly inviting, setting the stage for a premium treat. The staff here truly understands the art of service. Their product knowledge is impressive; they don't just scoop gelato--they understand the nuances of the textures and how to serve it at the perfect temperature to preserve its integrity.

The flavor profiles are where the shop really shines, blending traditional Italian roots with great innovative flavors that feel fresh and inspired. Every bite reflects a commitment to high-quality ingredients and technical precision. Whether you are a connoisseur or a casual fan, the consistency and creativity here are world-class.

Or if you didn't realize like I did, you can certainly order from the wait staff. We were there in the morning, so only noticed the breakfast side of the menu. But it seems they also serve drinks and snacks for later afternoon/evening. There is also a freezer of ice creams sold by the scoop for when it's too hot for a hot chocolate. We ordered two hot chocolates and a combo churro and porra to share. It was just the right amount of chocolate and crispy yummy vehicle. Service was excellent. English is no problem.

The decorations are cute and a modern fairy tale. And the service was warm, but quite slow.
