When I first moved here I was told that Spaniards don't really do sweet stuff. Well, whoever that…read morewas who said that never experienced true Spanish living. In Spain, I've been to more "breakfast" spots that turned out to be nothing more than sugar factories than I have anywhere else in my life. So, don't listen to this fabrication. This place is super cute and quaint. Its aesthetics are an experience alone, regardless of food. The baked goods, although mostly sweets, are very delicious and picturesque. The coffee and other refreshments are spot on as well. Overall, it's a great spot to have an experience with a visiting friend or a nice quiet place to retreat to by yourself for a little while. Enjoy.

Delicious soy latte and iced lemon tea. The decor is lovely inside. The chairs are comfy.read more

Been here a few times, it's a nice teahouse. They have tea AND alcohol - my kind of tea place. ;-)…read moreCasa Blanca is right on Calle de Atocha, near Kapital nightclub and within steps from Renfe station and the line 1 metro. The tall strong dude is super friendly. He always serves us and he's great. One time he even sat with us for a shot. It was a fun night. I'm not a hookah person, that's the only thing I don't like, all the smoke and such. But they have a nice selection of teas, which is always nice. If you like your tea unsweetened, like me, make sure you say so! Otherwise it'll be sweeter than honey.

Petite, clean interior manned by an older couple who seem every bit the new business owners: very…read moreknowledgeable but obviously well-studied, meaning that it seems tea was not always in their lives. Like other tea shops in town, they offer a pot of sale tea on the warmer for anyone who enters. There are also tea accessories on the shelves. I bought a half-kilo of leaves, one quarter of Moroccan mint green tea and a quarter of chai. I also picked up one of those little metal tea-balls, whatever they're called, the ones you stuff with leaves and then steep in the mug. Both teas were of very good quality, and continue to keep well in the cupboard. The little steel ball thing though, of German make, has loosened a bit over the course of a couple months and now leaf-dust and particles escape through the seam between the two halves. It was cheap enough, so I guess the old "you get what you pay for" has bit me again. This shop is another example of Malasaña-type shops opening in Lavapies. What was a relatively dangerous and seedy neighborhood is changing, and places like this one shall be the bellwethers of the gentrified Lavapies to come.
