Great little cafe, with good coffee and breakfast. We stopped in for some coffee and a quick…read morebreakfast one morning, and left satisfied. We each got a double espresso (typical, delicious European coffee), and some bread with tomato that is served with salt and a little bottle of olive oil (a Spanish thing). Nothing mind-blowing, but very tasty and satisfying. Good spot.

Good service and products but rather on the expensive side (EUR 3.95 for a pastry with apples to…read moretake away).

My food was plentiful (big portion size) and delicious. I also had a moccochino and that was great! It's a little on the pricier side (total for the three of us was 40 euro) but worth it in my opinion. The shop is pretty small, but there's not much that can be helped--Madrid is very cramped. Service was friendly but a little slow. Overall I'd recommend it!

We bought so many different kinds of candy and chocolate here! The staff was attentive and helped us find they perfect gifts! It was wonderful to return to the states and find this brand on Amazon and even in a store in Williamsburg! A bit of Spain here in America! Love it!! Don't leave Madrid without visiting one of their many locations!

The shop is clean and lots of fun to explore. Torron is like a nougat made of honey, sugar, and egg white, with nuts. They have some many different types, like hazlenut, lemon, pistachio. Excellent quality!

I had walked down Gran Via towards Plaza Mayor with the intention of grabbing a snack at Mercado…read moreSan Miguel. Sadly, it is closed for renovation and upgrades. As I was walking back towards Gran Via, I found El Riojano and stopped in. There is the pastry shop in the front and a cafe in the back. I was seated immediately and almost all of the tables were full. This is a very casual place. The menus were on the table, and a server came quickly to take my order. I ordered a cappuccino and a puff pastry with spinach and goat cheese. Both were good and exactly what I needed for a bit of energy. I asked for the pastry to be heated, and it was slightly warm (still cold in the middle). My only critique is that I wish the pastry had been a bit hotter. A steady stream of people arrived and departed while I was there so this seems to be a popular place. I would visit again and look forward to trying one of the bartolillo (traditional to Madrid).

The pastries were great. I tried the Roscon which was fresh and airy. Not overly sweet either. We had a short wait of 10 minutes and also took some pastries to go after. Staff was veryyyyy busy and not the most attentive but otherwise friendly and helpful.

My bf and I came and tried the Hambriento breakfast (pictures are attached), cafe con leche, and orange juice and paid less than $20 USD. Such a deal! Will be back for the fresh baked goodies.

Even when it's crazy busy ive never had to wait long to put in an order or pay. The coffee is great and cheap and so are the pastries (the empanadilla de manzana is a personal favorite). If you're here for breakfast, I highly recommend the banana-espresso bread. I'm very much blessed to have this place to close to my apartment!!! It's amazing.
