That was all well and good. From the inside, it could've been in a Starbucks in El Cerrito, but indeed this Starbucks was in the main gayborhood of Madrid. The reason this experience stood out was its prime location next to Plaza de Pedro Zerolo. The people watching at the outdoor terrace was outstanding.

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!

They only serve one size but when you get quality coffee you don't need much. Very common to have a small cup. Syra has all types of milk if you need almond, soy, or oat.

Definitely check out Syra coffee if you're in Madrid! We will be back!

I was excited to see churros on the menu and decided to order some along with their hot chocolate. OMG!! Get this!! As I am writing this review, I had already visited Chocolatería San Ginés. IMO, the churros and hot chocolate is superior here. Both items were served piping hot. What a treat. My son also loved his grilled ham and cheese sandwich (bikini trufado). Said it was the best he has ever had. Service was okay. Some of the staff members were friendlier than others so I guess it depends who you get.

Jamie W and I had already checked off our must-try for chocolate con churros, Chocolatería San…read moreGinés, and deemed them five-star tasty. Common sense would've brought us back to San Ginés, but I said to myself that there surely must be competitive options in Madrid. After finishing a particularly satisfying vegetarian dinner at Artemisa, we strolled around Puerta del Sol and found this cafe open. Although online reviews seemed decent enough, it might've been a tell-tale sign that there weren't any customers at an evening hour when you'd expect people munching on something sweet. Well, the lack of a queue was definitely appealing since we had to finish up our laundry back at the aparthotel. We ordered four Churros at 0.65€ each and shared a 3,4€ cup of Hot Chocolate (Photo 7). We added a couple of 2€ Cafe au Laits for good measure (Photo 10). Our verdict? We were disappointed because the churros tasted like they had been sitting around for a while. Not stale but more like an unpopular donut. The hot chocolate was just not enough to offset the churro because it lacked the rich consistency of the one served at San Ginés. We can say the coffee and milk hit the spot though. FOOD / COFFEE - 3 stars...disappointing chocolate con churros AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars..,empty and ready to close SERVICE - 3 stars..,not feeling the love, more the obligation TOTAL - 3 stars.., not all chocolate con churros are the same CORRESPONDING REVIEWS Chocolatería San Ginés: https://yelp.to/8myV2iIj1y Artemisa: https://yelp.to/aDDEfvzSkV RELATED - Exploring Madrid?
