This chocolateria has been in business for over 130 years, so it was probably safe to assume they…read moreknow how to make chocolate and just as essentially, the churros upon which their chocolate clings. Based on the definitive opinions of travel vloggers, this appeared to be the place to get the fabled chocolate con churros. Jamie W and I made our way here through the labyrinth of streets near Puerta del Sol. It was early evening so no surprise there was a queue, but it moved quickly because this historic place was a model of efficiency. It's the type of place where you need to be ready to order the moment you're in front of the hostess. Luckily, we had made mental notes of what to order from one particular vlogger, so we were ready. It only took a minute to secure one of their marble cafe tables. Our order arrived fairly quickly. It consisted of a 2,5€ plate of Churros, six long sticks of chewy, delicious dough. Unlike the Mexican version, it wasn't dusted with sugar because the 3,7€ cup of Hot Chocolate was more than enough (Photo 8). Incredibly rich and only lightly sweetened. The churros might've been enough for a neophyte, but we double-downed with a 2,5€ order of two Porros (Photo 7). Porras are a thicker, doughier version of churros, so of course, they were our favorites because they really held the chocolate with assurance. Even though we went through two cups of hot chocolate, we still had 2,4€ cups of Cafes con Leche to wash it all down (Photo 10). It was an ideal dessert experience because who doesn't love awesome doughnuts? Definitely a must-gorge when in Madrid.

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.

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.

It was good, so good that we ended up returning over and over again during our trip. I developed a bit of an addiction for their granizados,. These aren't anything more complex than fruit slushies, but absolutely essential after a few hours of trekking around Madrid. Luckily for us, Llaollao are open late into evening and pretty ubiquitous around the Gran Via area. Recommended for anyone who wants to indulge their sweet tooth in a (relatively) healthy way.
