Love at first sight (and bite!)…read more I was walking by yesterday and spotted these beautiful pastries through the window and couldn't take another step further. I walked right in to find the lovely owner Javier and immediately had to compliment him on the beauty of his work. After he described each of the pastries to me in English (and I mean every pastry! - total foodie right here so this was bliss) I narrowed it down to two. They were as tasty as they look and I'll be going back again today to try two more! The flavors, textures and sweetness of both were excellent! The esto es la pera was divine! If you are a pear lover, this will just blow your mind. Pieces of pear, essence of pear, shaped like a pear :) the cream inside is just perfect. My second, the cuento ruso was very different to my first fruity choice, inside was a rich chocolate mousse (I think is the best way to describe) with a balsamic strawberry filling. A great option for the chocolate lovers. What's more amazing is Javier does everything on his own! Starts baking at 4am every morning and you can truly feel his passion for his masterpieces when you meet him and taste these desserts. They are almost too pretty to eat to be honest! I had to stare and appreciate before I could dig my fork in. Each creation (I call them creations because they are truly creative and beautiful!) cost €3.50. You absolutely can't go wrong. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a dessert and coffee - or better yet, just take an entire box home :) 5 stars for quality, value and belly satisfaction!

It all tasted really good! I was going to get a smoothie, but was told they didn't have the machine to make it the day I went, but the staff recommended a milkshake so I got a strawberry one with oat milk and it tasted good and on the natural side, which I enjoyed! There is good indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and very attentive. We went back a couple days later for lunch and the food did not disappoint either. We got the nachos, chicken and waffles, and fish and chips. The same lady helped us out and the food came out relatively quick. Overall, I look forward to returning.

We stopped in for some brunch and each ordered the brunch combo 2 (€14.95), which came with…read morewonderfully seasoned scrambled tofu, an extremely rich and decadent ham+cheese croissant (essentially a croque monsieur), OK vegan bacon, and a solid enough avocado+tomato toast. The tofu scramble was definitely the highlight -- being cooked with seemed like kala namak (black salt) or something similar to give it that eggy/sulphuric character. The avocado+tomato toast was also decent, though needed some amping up with extra virgin olive oil and salt that they provided to season for yourself. The combos also come with a choice of coffee drink -- I did a late, which was very well-made. Overall, somewhat Spanish takes on various breakfast/brunch cuisines, done pretty well. Not a standout spot in Madrid, but a cool spot nonetheless that I'd recommended moderately.

A nice way to start our day…read more Yesterday was a travel day for us, our visit to Spain moving on to Barcelona. Looking for what we hoped was a quick and easy place to get some breakfast before we caught our train took us just a few doors down from our hotel. I found on display a large slice of Ham & Cheese Quiche and thought that would do nicely. The people were so nice and helpful, warming my quiche and my wife's food, getting us coffee, I also had a raisin roll, and we got some bottled drinks to go. The quiche was pretty good, thick with good flavor, not much crust. The raisin roll could have been sweeter, at least that's how I like it back home. The place is small, just a couple of small counters in the back if you wanted to dine in. We timed it right and got spots. It got busier while we were there and although I didn't understand the language, I could tell all these interactions were quite positive. Our visit was quick and easy, and we left fuller and happier than when we arrived, ready to take on the day.

I was walking around Madrid Centro and really craving an empanada. I saw the selection in the…read morewindow here and could not resist. They had a white variety of sweet and savory baked goods and I decided to try a few different things and actually sat down at the counter in the back of the bakery. The meat pie and empanada I ordered were good and they even heated them up for me. The mini doughnuts were not.. I wish I had been a little more hungry and I would have tried a wider variety of their baked goods. This place gives me the vibes that it is kind of classic 70s Madrid. It is not super touristy, not is it very expensive. Their were a few other people sitting inside eating with me that seemed to be on a lunch break from work or stopping in during a day out running errands. It did not blow me away but it definitely felt authentic.

It was so delicious and the berries tasted very fresh. The coffee was also very good. The only possible downside is that there is limited seating, so it might be best to plan to take the tiramisù to go.

I love that there is a little free lending library as well as children's books; my kids love going there for juice or a snack.

The cupcakes, in particular, were fantastic - perfectly moist and not overly sweet.
