It is close to the Prado museum and would be a perfect stop afterwards. Service is attentive and it seems even they are bakers as well. You can watch them make cakes if you have the inclination. We hade the pecan bar which was outstanding and the alfajor which looks like a cookie sandwich- delicious

FOOD: 4.5 - Mango Cheesecake: 4.5. - Apple pie: 4.5 - Espresso: 4.5 (not sour) SERVICE: 5.0. Very considerate and focused on us as customers, though we spoke no Spanish. We felt appreciated. AMBIANCE: 4.0. About three tables inside and a bench on narrow street outside. We had our cake and coffee on the outside bench. Pleasant.

We were looking for a quick breakfast and Brown Bear Bakery caught our eye. It has a cute little…read morestorefront, and when we went in, we saw a case of yummy looking items. A woman behind the counter asked if we were going to eat in and when we said yes, she directed us to go find a table. They have a room with a handful of tables and as soon as we sat down, we were given menus. They have many items that sounded good in addition to the items in the case, like French Toast, pancakes, and quiches. I just ordered a chocolate palmier and it was brought out instantly. It was huge and really delicious! My sister ordered the quiche. It was a really big piece and full of cheese, ham, and mushrooms. She said it was really good, and so big that she could not finish it. I highly recommend Brown Bear Bakery if you are looking for a freshly made breakfast instead of just a quick chain meal. Prices are reasonable, service is fast and they have nice clean bathrooms!

We swung by for dessert. I got the toffee cheese cake in a cup, my daughter the carrot cake. The…read morecarrot cake was dry and underwhelming but the toffee cheese cake cup what excellent. I could not eat the. Whole cup so my daughter who was unhappy with her dry carrot cake ate the other half of my cup. I will say we went in at 7pm... so I'm sure the cake was out all day and may have been better earlier in the day. I guess moral of this story, if you want cake, get it early in the day otherwise choose something else.

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.
