Very good! We came here because of the variety of desserts that others have posted here and we were…read morenot disappointed. They even had Peanut flavor, being American I'm a huge fan of peanut butter and have reluctantly submitted to there being next to no peanut butter flavored desserts in Europe or South America for that matter. So, on top of my dessert being stand alone awesome I also enjoyed Peanut flavored ice cream on top!!! The gent behind the counter makes the ice cream down stairs. You can tell he takes exceptional pride in his ice cream. He said not many people like peanut flavored ice cream but he does so he makes it! Cheers to you my friend! Us peanut butter lovers need to stick together.

Great atmosphere, wonderful vibe, amazing espresso. What more can a girl ask for? The owner Luca…read moredoes his best to make sure you're happy and enjoy yourself. He takes his time on his creations and hand bakes all the pastries himself. It's so authentic and a nice quiet open place to stay. I'm staying in Spain for a month and will definitely come here every day. FYI: Free Wifi!

Great selection that also included non-dairy options…read more Options were really good especially Oreo and strawberry

Walking around Madrid on a warm day looking for a cool scoop of gelato and located Eccolo Gelato…read more The shop is sleak, clean, modern and swanky. The wait staff is helpful but not fully engaged. I surveyed the selection and seem to migrate toward the pistachio gelato in Spain. A single scoop of pistachio was ordered and I quickly jumped into analysis mood. The flavor was cool but not cold. My scoop was melting as soon as she handed it to me. The flavor was fine but not great. I don't mind trying pistachio gelatos but this was not my favorite. Eccolo gelato has a nice venue, clean environment and hopefully a more flavorful and colder product.

Hot day walking around Madrid. What's a great way to cool down? Ice cream!!…read more Little shop near the palace. Known for their brioche ice cream filled delight. Or you can stuff a small Cannoli. I opted just for ice cream to cool down. Got the Zuccaru blend which tasted like a green drink in ice cream form. It contains celery, apple, lemon and probably one more ingredient I'm forgetting about. Weird who would want celery in ice cream but it seriously was refreshing on such a warm day. Next flavor was passion fruit or maracuya. Great flavor and not so tart. Now these 2 flavors are dairy free!! Yet it was so creamy! I tried asking what base they used and they just said water but I would think there would have to be some kind of milk whether it was coconut or something else. Props to them for making delicious ice cream.

BEST GELATO in Madrid. A lot of places around Madrid don't make their gelato fresh, they just get…read morethe mass produced stuff. Here however you can see and taste the difference of fresh, authentic gelato. The mint chocolate chip has flecks of green mint leaves in it, and the chocolate fragments are generously served. We loved the "pear" because it tastes just like a creamy pear. You can feel the little gritty bits in an actual pear. The "100% chocolate" flavor has a depth and intensity you won't get anywhere else. The "mango" and "coconut" flavors are other hits, similarly tasting like you're biting into the freshest and sweetest version of the fruit but with the creamy panna undertone. I'd recommend sampling all the flavors like we did. And unlike some other gelato spots in Madrid that limit you to just sampling one flavor, or ridiculously overpricing their gelato, at Zuccaro's the prices are very fair and the portions are generous. Much love to the great shopkeeper. The poor girl had had her tip jar stolen from, but even after that she was bright and positive and conversed with us excitedly. In a city where most shopkeepers seem like they're trying to just send you out the door, it was a sweet way to bring our trip to Spain to a close.

I ordered the mint chip and it was nice! The flavors are limited so if you're visiting from other countries, don't expect the choices you may get elsewhere. But the flavors they do serve are yummy!

After a night of tapas and walking around, we stopped by here for some sweet treats…read more I tried two flavors of ice cream in a cup. I tried the mango sherbet and the passion fruit cream gelato. Let me just say, I was not disappointed with my choices. They were both awesome in their own ways. Liz tried the crepes, and it was loaded with cajeta. It was tasty and the warmth of the crepe melted the caramel to the right consistency to say whoah... this is really caramel-ly. It was really good. She topped it off with a scoop of banana nut gelato. The service was nice, but I think they took a bit of time with the crepe. That said the crepe was nothing worse for wear. I got my ice cream almost instantly, and so it was easy to share the two desserts one after the other. The shop is brightly lit, and easy to find on the corner of Tirso de Molina Plaza. It goes through bouts of busy-ness as folks drop in from other places. This dessert shop knows what they are doing... if you are in the area, drop in.

We happened upon it and I was so pleasantly surprised. I think we went three times during our time in Madrid. I loved the counter experience, I'd definitely recommend that option. I wasn't looking to sit down and do all of that upstairs so my review is solely based on counters on the first floor. The locals love this spot and that is quite obvious. I was told in advance that they do and coming here was very enjoyable. The pastries and coffee are very yummy, you won't be disappointed. Makes for the perfect spot if you really want to get your day started but want to grab a quick bite before doing so.

We hade the pecan bar which was outstanding and the alfajor which looks like a cookie sandwich- delicious
