Oh and they use microwaves to reheat their food which we didn't want. Service sucked but maybe it's because we didn't speak Spanish? Got a plate of jamon de bellota which came with a tomato based spread and it was good. Their bakery items all looked awesome although we only tried an eclair which was great. Other specialty item selections were really fun and their black and green olive-looking chocolates are awesome!!!

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.

I came to the one in Quevedo, it's a very tiny bakery, one of those "fast bakeries" that are now…read moreeverywhere with tons of pastries, it has just a few standing tables, but is nice for a quick bite and a coffee if you are in a hurry or you don't mind standing. The espresso was not best, a bit too much water for my taste and lacked aroma, the mini chocolate croissant was just Ok, a bit dry and not soft and fluffy as good pastries should be, but is expectable, the price is cheap which makes it a good place for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack.

What's interesting about the Starbucks in Europe are the different options they offer as far as food. Their sandwich selection ( I broke my bread protocol due to walking 10 miles/20,000 steps daily) were awesome: my fave was the turkey/avocado/tomato slider on a multi grain bread. It was fresh and delicious! Just the right size for a quick pick me up. Other options were Iberian ham and cheese, mozzarella and tomato and many more. I always ordered an old fave, non fat Caramel Macchiato, and was prepared consistently perfect. It always has the right ratio of caramel to coffee. Starbucks is always thinking green this it's nice that they continue to promote reusable cup option. This location was spotless and had upstairs seating. The only disconnect was not having Star Reward loyalty program. I would have been accumulating serious star rewards...
