10 Best Coffee Shops in Madrid | Condé Nast Traveler
"With a coworking area, inviting round tables, and an outdoor patio, Federal is as suited to espresso-fueled studying as it is to boozy brunching. The Arabica coffee certainly punches above its weight, but it's not the star of the show on a drinks menu that runs the gamut from whole-leaf teas to green juices to fresh-squeezed OJ and natural wine. And this is one of the few spots in Madrid where you can tuck into well-executed brunch classics like eggs Benedict and shakshuka. In a city where most cafés are cramped cubbyholes, Federal Café stands out as a place to spread out. The best seats in the house are the sun-drenched tables by the window that overlook the cobblestoned Plaza de las Comendadoras and its namesake 17th-century convent." - Benjamin Kemper
