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!

Both my wife and I agreed this local coffee shop served us the best coffee we had while in Spain…read more I enjoyed an espresso that fruity and mildly robust. Think Illy, but much better. When I inquired, it turned out the beans were from a small farm in Uganda. My wife enjoyed her coffee with milk, oddly I was so satisfied with the espresso I didn't try hers. Those beans were from a small farm in Columbia. The cardamom and fig gluten free coffee cake was also good. Service was great and we were able to sit and talk.

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!
