10 Best Coffee Shops in Madrid | Condé Nast Traveler
"Squint and you could be in Kreuzberg or East London: The exposed brick, tattered sofas, and bikes chained to the ceiling lend La Bicicleta a rakish charm that's unusual in Madrid. You don't need to know your Chemex from your cold brew to order coffee here—La Bicicleta's hot beverage menu ticks all the boxes without venturing into coffee geekdom. As the day wears on, forego the caffeinated standbys for cool, sudsy cañas—Madrid slang for half-pints of beer—and well-made cocktails. Pop in when you're not in a rush, with your laptop or a chatty friend and at least an hour to kill—that way, you won't be biting your nails if breakfast takes 20 minutes to arrive." - Benjamin Kemper
