Café de Oriente
7.1Locals Score / 10#12 of 12 Cafés & Coffee in Madrid
$$
Known forclassic Madridheritage caféiconic
A grand, historic café facing the Royal Palace with velvet booths, ornate ceilings, and a genuinely theatrical atmosphere. Order a café con leche and a croissant while watching the plaza come alive — the terrace in good weather is one of Madrid's finest spots. It skews slightly touristy given the location, so expect higher prices and a mixed crowd.
