"The lustrous white wall tiles, industrial light fixtures, and poured concrete floors lend HanSo a distinct Brooklyn feel, as do the bagel sandwiches—a rare sight in Madrid. Owner Nicho cut his teeth up the road at Toma Café, so it's no surprise that his coffee menu hinges on single-origin beans roasted minimally to fruity, tart perfection. Matcha lattés are as delicious here as they are dainty, topped with green-and-white microfoam in the shape of a heart. A welcome departure from the humdrum pastries and sandwiches at most cafés, HanSo's menu features fresh-off-the-iron Belgian waffles topped with fresh fruit, an assortment of bagel sandwiches and melts, and a truly sigh-worthy carrot cake overstuffed with cream-cheese frosting." - Benjamin Kemper
