Taking an early morning stroll in Madrid and we casually pass by La Merendona. Attracted by their…read morebaked goods in the window, we decided to give them a try. Love the quaint yet chic & modern decor. The owner was there the day we visited and was so friendly. She explained some of the menu items we were unfamiliar with. Their coffee and small bites were phenomenal! You could tell everything was made fresh and with quality ingredients. Next time we visit Madrid we'll be stopping by here again!

So glad that we found it because the everything was amazing. A small coffee & dessert shop that's very unique with an urban but home-like feeling. The owner was there to open and speaks English so that really made it comfortable for us to select what to eat. She gave us her recommendations on what to try being that you couldn't visually see what was inside most of the pastry items and the menu was in Spanish. I assume that it isn't a dog friendly venue...one of the patrons sat their dog outside while they enjoyed coffee. Their selections of pastries are endless; From cakes, to donuts, tarts, quiches, meat pies, meat empanadas, etc. I'm sad that I didn't try any of the sweets, but I did order the smoked salmon & queso cream cheese sandwhich, along with their puff pastry of spinach (my favorite) & beef & chicken empanadas. Light & small but shareable as my girlfriend and I enjoyed every last bite & toasted with a cup of coffee!

Cute lil café! I visited at 7:30 on a Friday night. They weren't too busy in comparison to a lot of…read moreplaces in the area. The vibe is cozy and cute. They placed a lot of old 80s pop music. The service was attentive (for Spanish standards). What I ordered: they had a couple of drink + dessert options for 10€ so I got a mojito and carrot cake. The carrot cake was so yummy! Not the best ever, and I wish there was a little more icing, but still really good! The mojito was great, but there was sooooo much ice. I really didn't feel like I got much of an actual drink. There are plenty of classic cocktail options! The prices are average I would say. They had a couple of small savory options. My friend got some smoked salmon toast which she said was good! This is a great place to have a fairly quiet drink with a friend! I know they also have breakfast so I will be back to try it sometime!

When they didn't like their meals (which were delicious) our waiter brought out something else they could try, and they ate it up. Perfect for a casual afternoon meal.

There are some spendy things on the menu if you're really hungry, but I was just here to kill some time. Menu in English with prices displayed. I opted for a cup of coffee (with milk) and as is traditional in Europe, this is per cup. They don't brew huge pots of coffee here. Each cup is basically an Americano. Good flavor, plenty of caffeine. With it, I had the toast with butter and jam. The butter was in packets, but the jam seemed handmade and was very sweet. Perfect breakfast food. I was here over an hour. No worries.

As a mid-afternoon snack, we stopped at Harina for a few sandwiches…read more We ordered: - Chicken sandwich - Roast beef sandwich - Salmon sandwich - Anchovy & tomato sandwich The first three are on thin sliced bread, while the third was on flauta bread. I enjoyed the anchovy & tomato sandwich, but the other three were just average. To finish it off, we had a slice of apple cake which was good, but not exceptional. To wash it all down & to cool off, we ordered some mint lemonade. It was very good and refreshing!
