Directions

A tiny, unpretentious neighborhood café-bar on a quiet Chueca street that locals have been using as a morning ritual spot for decades. The coffee is classic Spanish — strong, cheap, and served fast — and the tostadas with tomato and olive oil are exactly right. It is cash-friendly, no-frills, and a genuine antidote to the city's trendier spots.
