Even when it's crazy busy ive never had to wait long to put in an order or pay. The coffee is great and cheap and so are the pastries (the empanadilla de manzana is a personal favorite). If you're here for breakfast, I highly recommend the banana-espresso bread. I'm very much blessed to have this place to close to my apartment!!! It's amazing.

Service was OK, people were a little rude. We had one issue with the waitress, she never asked us if we wanted to be charged Euros vs US dollars. When asked her about it, she rudely said that is not her problem and it was our problem with the bank. I didn't expect such a response. It could of easily been voided and do over.

My girlfriend and I had already decided to do the brunch for 14€ and were promptly seated. The brunch begins with either coffee/tea and a orange juice or you can add mimosas or other alcoholic options for an extra charge. I thought the freshly squeezed orange juice was one of the best parts of the meal! I went for a pancake with PB&J for the first course and my girlfriend got a fruit bowl. I thought the pancake was very filling, but the peanut butter tasted like it was from a jar of Jiffy. Next we both decided to get the breakfast burrito for the second course. Again, I thought the food was very filling, and I'm sure it's hard to come by a breakfast burrito in Madrid, but it just didn't wow me. Overall, I think the portions and amount of food you get for 14€ is very good, especially that orange juice! As far as the taste, it is good, but not great. This restaurant is definitely filling a small niche in Madrid and has some hard to come by "American" food, so if you're craving that, this could be your place.

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.

Located in the charming Barrio de las Letras neighborhood, the café has a cozy, laid-back feel. The books lining the shelves give it extra character and the playlist was a nice mix of boho vibes and a little Jungle mixed in. My daughter joined me and the aunties and we all ordered different versions of eggs on toast. I had the poached eggs, which were cooked a bit too well for my like. Others in the group ordered the halloumi eggs on toast and weren't fans of the sweet tomato sauce. Service from our server was nice though and the drinks were refreshing.
