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.

En nuestro local tenemos obrador propio, y allí elaboramos preparaciones, como dicen los angloparlantes "from scratch". Esto quiere decir que no empleamos preparados industriales, sino que nos interesamos, y mucho, por llegar al fondo de la cuestión. Hacemos nuestros bizcochos, tartas y magdalenas con huevos de los de verdad (ni en polvo ni en tetra-brik), aceite de oliva, harina sin aditivos, mantequilla (no margarina), nata, leche fresca y azúcar en muchos casos sin refinar. En todas nuestras elaboraciones trabajamos con materia prima de primera calidad, y siempre que las circunstancias lo permiten, con productos de proximidad, biológicos y sin aditivos químicos. El nombre "Home Bakery" nace de nuestra filosofía de hacer las cosas como tú las harías en casa. No empleamos mezclas preparadas de tartas, ni productos muy procesados.

You know the saying, things happen for a reason? Well, I was actually walking the streets half a mile from my hotel to return a wallet that I found in the middle of the street. I tracked the owner (he happens to be a soccer player) down and at first could not find him. More on this later. I walked by El Cuervo and the owner, Luis Miguel, was standing in the doorway. He looked so friendly that I had to go in. I stayed two hours! Most tourists don't stay in Barajas and would never find this place. I am glad I did. First, there is none of that "measured shot from a shot glass crap" at this place. They pour you a real gangster drink. When Luis Miguel poured my drink all I could say was whoa and all I could think was that I'm glad "Baby" wasn't with me at that moment. She definitely would have poured some in a separate glass! Within ten minutes a couple of locals happened by, the owner's wife joined us and we had a party going on. I had an East Harlem flashback of sorts. About every fifteen minutes or so Luis Miguel left and returned with tapas. You name it I had it, from a traditional Spanish omelet, cheese tapas, salami tapas, and ham tapas. Before long everybody at the bar was ordering and sharing. My favorite memory will be Luis Miguel playing music. He has a knack for finding YouTube videos of non-famous folks that make you ask: "Who the hell is that?" I mentioned that my favorite music is Bachata. After that it was "on like hot buttered popcorn." First Omega El Fuerte then Frank Reyes and I thought I was in my own family room where I have been known to "tear the roof of the sucka." I left with a yellow pad full of names of folks I intend to download, directions to the stores that the locals shop in and most of all a great feeling knowing I met new folks who have already emailed me to exchange music. If you are not comfortable traveling off the beaten path or have a jellyfish nature about yourself (for the hip impaired this means you have no backbone or have been called a sissy) you might not venture off to El Cuervo and this would be too bad. This is just a great family pull-up-to-the-bar-and-sit-a-spell place. As for the wallet that brought me to El Cuervo in the first place, on the way home I found number 53 and the player, who shall remain nameless, walked with me to my hotel where I returned his wallet including the Euros that came with it. He was amazed and said when I returned next autumn drinks are on him. I think I'll select El Cuervo!

I saw this brunch spot in Porto but didn't have a chance to stop in so I was thrilled to see it in Madrid. I was actually on my way to Matik Studios (just across the street) but they had a long line so I ended up grabbing a seat at Zenith and enjoying a filling brunch before heading in for my pics! Great service and ambience. It would be an awesome spot to brunch with family and friends and had a varying menu so it would be perfect groups.

The wifi wasn't working and the price for everything was reasonable. I would give this place 4 stars for the decorations but unfortunately the rest didn't meet my full expectations.
