    Live music.
    Cindy W.

    Great live music! We walked in and only caught the tail end of the show, but it was wonderful. Grabbed some drinks and just chatted for 1.5 hours. Great bar to just hang. Tinto de verano (summer wine) came to about 5€ each, slightly more than other places.

    Best Labanese Mezza in town!

    Best Jazz in town. Came here to see Chano Domínguez - piano and Hadar Noiberg - flute perform live and they blew everyone away. It is the most cutest bar with in old cathedral like feel on the inside...I ordered their Lebanese mezza plate which came with the best falafel, couscous, and hummus on this side of Europe for sure. Their staff is amazing and customer service is superb. You can buy tickets in advance as it gets filled up really fast. I absolutely loved every moment of the atmosphere!

Love the quaint yet chic & modern decor. The owner was there the day we visited and was so friendly. She explained some of the menu items we were unfamiliar with. Their coffee and small bites were phenomenal! You could tell everything was made fresh and with quality ingredients. Next time we visit Madrid we'll be stopping by here again!

So glad that we found it because the everything was amazing. A small coffee & dessert shop that's very unique with an urban but home-like feeling. The owner was there to open and speaks English so that really made it comfortable for us to select what to eat. She gave us her recommendations on what to try being that you couldn't visually see what was inside most of the pastry items and the menu was in Spanish. I assume that it isn't a dog friendly venue...one of the patrons sat their dog outside while they enjoyed coffee. Their selections of pastries are endless; From cakes, to donuts, tarts, quiches, meat pies, meat empanadas, etc. I'm sad that I didn't try any of the sweets, but I did order the smoked salmon & queso cream cheese sandwhich, along with their puff pastry of spinach (my favorite) & beef & chicken empanadas. Light & small but shareable as my girlfriend and I enjoyed every last bite & toasted with a cup of coffee!
