Known forthird-wave coffeebrunch spotLavapiés cool
A pioneering specialty coffee shop that helped launch Madrid's third-wave coffee scene, with an airy, industrial-chic space and a short but excellent brunch menu. The avocado toast and flat whites are consistently good, and the crowd is a creative mix of locals and expats. It gets very busy on weekend mornings, so arrive early or expect a wait.
