So after being in Madrid for 3 weeks, and rambling across the other side of the city to buy our coffee beans from the notorious Toma... We found this place 5 minutes away from our apartment in La Latina (and as a result were annoyed we'd not come here earlier). No, the coffee isn't to the same standard as Toma, but that is marginal. The ambience however is a lot less pretentious and I immediately felt relaxed and cosy. After sitting for 30 minutes, I realised that I didn't want to leave. They play good music and the Wi-Fi is great. (Password: aeropress ) August 2017. They've made use of the small unit well with the simple seating. Some things are not to my personal taste (like the light up fridge and original flooring) but again, that's just preference. Also highly recommend going here just to wander down the little street it's on, with quite a few funky little independent shops (and obviously the huge market around here on a Sunday).

Charming little coffee shop playing Beatles tunes and serving delicious coffee and gourmet toast. Just a min away from the Sunday La Latina markets. Perfect way to start your day or take a break.

Great place to sit and bring your laptop. The espresso was fantastic!

Wistful coffee in a cozy ambience. I even was able to get a flat white, very well prepared.

Quaint little cafe nestled right in the middle of lively La Latina. Homey feel, great beverages and tasty breakfasts.

Chocolatería San Ginés - Truffles

Chocolatería San Ginés

This chocolateria has been in business for over 130 years, so it was probably safe to assume they…read moreknow how to make chocolate and just as essentially, the churros upon which their chocolate clings. Based on the definitive opinions of travel vloggers, this appeared to be the place to get the fabled chocolate con churros. Jamie W and I made our way here through the labyrinth of streets near Puerta del Sol. It was early evening so no surprise there was a queue, but it moved quickly because this historic place was a model of efficiency. It's the type of place where you need to be ready to order the moment you're in front of the hostess. Luckily, we had made mental notes of what to order from one particular vlogger, so we were ready. It only took a minute to secure one of their marble cafe tables. Our order arrived fairly quickly. It consisted of a 2,5€ plate of Churros, six long sticks of chewy, delicious dough. Unlike the Mexican version, it wasn't dusted with sugar because the 3,7€ cup of Hot Chocolate was more than enough (Photo 8). Incredibly rich and only lightly sweetened. The churros might've been enough for a neophyte, but we double-downed with a 2,5€ order of two Porros (Photo 7). Porras are a thicker, doughier version of churros, so of course, they were our favorites because they really held the chocolate with assurance. Even though we went through two cups of hot chocolate, we still had 2,4€ cups of Cafes con Leche to wash it all down (Photo 10). It was an ideal dessert experience because who doesn't love awesome doughnuts? Definitely a must-gorge when in Madrid. FOOD - 5 stars...the motherlode when it comes to chocolate con churros...get the porros AMBIANCE - 4 stars...crowded but historically atmospheric with enough elbow room SERVICE - 4 stars...speedy TOTAL - 5 stars...pretty essential Madrid experience RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

This is a classic and must-visit stops in Madrid, that has been famous for offering churros and…read morechocolate from 1894. It has a cozy and traditional vibe and is open till after midnight. The churros are made right in front of you and will be served warm. You can also order for takeout. The dipping chocolate sauce adds a nice touch to the tase and experience. There will lineups at times, but it moves fast.
