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.

Service was quick but took a longg time to bring our check which is pretty typical in Europe honestly. The mini sweet brunch was only 10 euro and included a hot drink (tea, coffee), cold drink, croissant, and choice of baked apples or yogurt with granola and chocolate chips. The croissant was warmed and yummy. The baked apples topped with whipped cream were served cold, but they definitely would've tasted better warm. Overall: cozy, affordable place near Plaza España for breakfast if you're not too hungry or in a rush

I love the vibes here as it is super welcoming and you can tell they have regulars come here weekly. Came in while in Madrid when we were craving a great breakfast to jump start our day. We were seated right away when we walked up and taken to the far end of the restaurant. I was glad we were able to also get on the WiFi here too. Look at the walls/signs for the information on password and login. Get an egg Benedict - it was made to order, had the freshest ingredients, and my orange juice was also made minutes before being served it. A fantastic place for breakfast, conversation, and great people.

I liked that most of the guests were Spanish speakers. The menu is fairly self-explanatory, but it's better if you are able to read Spanish (not a problem for me!). Service was fast. The food was generally good, although the seafood rice was fishy, and the sangria was not memorable at all. But the fried calamari was delicious, and my family enjoyed the jamon iberico. The gambas were pretty good, as were the patatas bravas. They are very family friendly as the menu is simple enough that the kids will eat it, and nothing is so fancy that you'd feel uncomfortable with hangry kids.

Then, I've had this bookmarked for an eternity based on the reviews of a Yelp friend (acquaintance) from the Yelp Talk chapter who did quite a bit of traveling. I had seen Chocolateria San Gines before but did not go in. I don't know why. This time, I did go in. They have two salons across the street from each other. I prefer the one on the east side of the street, which has the taller ceilings and more glass and mirrors. There may be a line around the side, but it will move quickly. I knew they had chocolate based on their name, but I didn't understand how they factored it into the equation. I sort of assumed that one could get chocolate churros. After all, there are now chocolate cannoli shells and, in some cases, cannoli can also have chocolate filling. The lady at the counter very quickly gave me an education. One gets the standard churros, but they come with a chocolate sauce that you dip them into. This all made for an interesting snack. This is not a place intended for a meal. The churros have a nice bland sort of crunchiness and the chocolate sauce is one heck of a counterpoint. The combination is tasty and unique. I also had a hot drink. Upon asking, they immediately provided me with a small glass of cold water - seen at many adjacent tables - probably to counter the effects of the richness of this snack. Be it at the counter or at the table, the staff was very well mannered and helpful, which was commendable for how busy they were. The interior is very clean and has a lot of history on its walls. The pricing was to my liking, so coming to Chocolateria San Gines is a "no brainer." Everything is there and the intersection of its history and visitors from the world over take this one to 5 stars. A friend of mine who once lived in Madrid laughed upon learning it was on my list. I mentioned I had already been to Mallorquina, which is a few blocks away on Plaza del Sol. The story was that Mallorquina is where Madrid's version of chatty magpies might go to do the dessert and coffee thing with their friends in the afternoon. It closes in the evening. Instead, Chocolateria San Gines is open all the time and might be the last stop of the evening or night before Madrilenos turn in from a night on the town. It is also very easy to reach, only a few blocks from either the Sol or Opera Metro stations, from which you can also take in fascinating nearby Plaza Mayor.

I was jet lagged and stumbled upon this place while looking at Yelp in the morning. I opted to order the Banana Coffee and Salmon Breakfast Bagel, which came out to roughly $22 USD. The coffee itself looked amazing, taste wise I would say it's good not great. I wish it had more banana sweetener or was creamier, but that's probably my American taste buds talking. The Salmon Breakfast Bagel was delicious, would order again. Overall I would say a good experience, they spoke English which was nice. Would I go again? Yes!
