Best coffee shops in madrid

Coffee shops near me

Because at certain times, we need to escape from the office to concentrate better in the atmosphere of a cozy cafe, with the dose of energy that gives us the rich freshly brewed coffee and the piece of cake on duty. Because we have to finish a group work for the university and we take the opportunity to meet in one of the coolest places in Madrid. Because we take the opportunity to consult the library collection and then continue working in the atmospheric cafeteria. Because we like to be surrounded by culture and good food… If you fit into one or more of these reasons, read on and choose which one will be your next office from now on.

Nomade Café is one of those places where it’s hard to find a table at first. But don’t worry, on the first floor they have another area a little more subdued with several shared tables. To work, we recommend staying upstairs, since, apart from having more charm for its vegetal decoration, it has more light and the coverage is better.

Specialty coffee madrid

From there, you already know how to identify a good coffee in Madrid. Luckily, in the city there are places that are more than coffee shops, they are temples of coffee and in them, the word “roast” is forbidden. Take paper and pencil, because the fever of good coffee in Madrid, of specialty coffee (speciality coffee, if you feel very sophisticated) has already begun:

The Mercado de Antón Martín, one of the gastronomic jewels of the capital, could not be without specialty coffee. Here coffee is treated as if it had its own, the recipes for each bean are written down on the wall and there are biscuits with the texture of viscoelastic pillows.

One of the essentials for coffee lovers. If you drink espresso, ask for it to be made “naked”. The creaminess and density it provides is indisputable. Possibly the best coffee I have ever had was here.

This cozy meeting point to enjoy coffee is located in the heart of the Barrio de Las Letras. There is not much space to extend the after-dinner conversation but their coffee deserves everything and more. They also have a corner with handicraft products.

Their first space was set up in Barcelona but now we can also enjoy their characteristic offer in Madrid. They landed in summer in the heart of La Latina neighborhood. The classic coffee and newspaper but brought to the XXI century. A collection of trendy magazines in the aroma of a specialty coffee.  The locals already know the News & Coffee stand, they have already taken their espresso straight from La Marzocco on their way to the metro station. If you’re walking around any weekend, come by to see their nourished collection of publications.Gorka Elorrieta Read moreAdvertisingSanta KafeinaSanta Kafeina

This vintage café is located in the heart of the Chueca neighborhood. They offer a menu with 23 different types of teas and homemade cakes such as meringue and lemon or carrot and meringue. In addition, at this time of the year, they recommend the snack with French hot chocolate combined with pancakes with cream and syrup (for 6.50 euros).

The dark walls would make it go unnoticed if it were not for the smell of puff pastry and apple that is breathed from the street. This is the pastry shop of the Asturian Julio Blanco, which appears as a store with a few tables, like a tea room, served in porcelain cups. His milhoja, croissant and pastries are highly recommended. At Christmas they have typical sweets to take home.
