"Creative Bites in a Bilingual Café with a Chill Vibe"

This cozy coffee spot offers a bilingual food and drink menu. The avocado toast was a unique twist, topped with sesame seeds and blueberries. The new grilled cheese was ultra cheesy with a surprising hint of sweetness. While the staff was a bit slow with our order, they were friendly overall. Bonus points for the great music selection!

"Great Coffee and Vibes, with Room for Improvement"

The coffee here is excellent, especially the batch brew. The food is tasty, and the ambiance is really cool. While the service could have been a bit better, I still had a great time overall. I’d definitely consider coming back—maybe to grab some coffee beans next time!

"Great Coffee & Simple, Tasty Food in a Cozy Spot — But Order at the Bar!"

This charming little café offers great coffee and simple but delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. I had the toast with scrambled egg—perfectly fluffy eggs topped with coarse sea salt and toasted bread drizzled with tasty olive oil. The portion looked small for the price (by Madrid standards), but it was satisfying, ideal for a light breakfast or brunch. The space is cozy and quiet, popular with both locals and tourists, perfect for solo visits or small groups, but not great for larger parties. Some tables are laptop-free, which adds to the calm vibe. One downside was the service: when we arrived, an employee greeted us but didn’t explain that you have to order at the bar. After waiting 5–10 minutes, I had to go ask myself. The only indication is a small sticker with a QR code high up on a wooden beam, easy to miss. The menu is also only visible on a small sign at the bar or via the QR code. I’d suggest they place the menu or ordering instructions on each table to make it clearer and avoid confusion. Overall, a great spot but be ready to order at the bar!

"Good Service and Quality Coffee Beans, But Specialty Coffees Disappoint"

I visited when the place was super busy. I enjoyed their service, which was friendly and efficient, but I was a bit disappointed by their specialty coffees. I tried almost all of them, but many tasted burnt or over-roasted, which was not what I expected. That said, I would still go back. On a positive note, the ground coffee they sell for home use is really good. If only they used their better grinder for it, it would be even better quality. Overall, a decent spot with room for improvement on their specialty coffee preparation.

"Charming Spot, But Slow Takeaway Service and Small Drinks"

The interior is cute and inviting, but the takeaway service was really slow, causing a bottleneck in the already cramped space. The drink itself was okay, but quite small for the price. Also, the takeaway cup gave a strange aftertaste, so I had to remove the lid to enjoy it properly.

"A Perfect Morning Spot with Great Vibes and Prices"

What a perfect way to kick off the day! The coconut iced latte paired beautifully with the avocado toast. The interior is charming, featuring hanging plants and exposed brick walls that add to the cozy ambiance. The staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful, even taking the time to translate the menu into English. Best of all, the prices were very reasonable—definitely a spot worth returning to!
