Brown Bear Bakery

OK. I really like this place and visited on several occasions and this is my conclusion. The bakery- as you walk in - is absolutely terrific with a great range of delicious treats. However, the cafe section (found by walking through the ”shop”) seems like an uncared for afterthought. The coffee and tostada were distinctly average and it is a strange layout with inconsistent service. Obviously, the baked goods are terrific and I enjoyed a remarkable Basque cheesecake, but the rest is not wonderful. An inconsistent experience.

We stayed in Madrid short time of period. We had our breakfast there twice. Nancy she was our lady. She was excellent. Our daughter had severe allergies. She made her breakfast without any issues. I highly recommend the place.

Good choices for breakfast! Quick attend, reasonable price and right portion. I like breakfast eggs with bacon!

I ate breakfast there twice during My short stay in Madrid.The food is delicious and the portion is generous.And the service is good also though you have to wait a little

Good place for a typical Spanish breakfast. Don’t let the frontage deceive you, it’s bigger inside. There’s even a lower level with seating. The lower level is nice and quaint with the brick arches. Food was good too. Frey orange juice was 3.10 euro each for a small glass. The food was inexpensive so it balanced out the whole meal. Service was good, the server was only one and she handled everyone.

Nice little bakery and cafe with great selection of cakes, quiches and Spanish toast. We enjoyed!

Quick little breakfast spot in a nice area of Madrid. Our cappuccino was delicious, and the toast we ordered was so good for a nice price point! The tomatoes and olive oil were very fresh on the andaluz toast, and the lettuce/tomato really lightened up the salmon toast with cream cheese. Edit: We came back the next day and had the patatas tortilla sandwich & Iberian Jamon sandwich. I would say stick with their tomato toasts as these are very fresh tasting. The tortilla patatas was not fully heated through for me. I will keep the original 5 star rating due to our first experience being very enjoyable!

Unfortunately, I missed out on experiencing the basement seating. Instead, I was seated at an uncomfortable tiny high-top table. Food was OK, but nothing to write home about.

Small bakery cafe with Spanish charm. Great for brunch or breakfast. Home made bakery and good coffee

One of the best place for breakfast the local style. Love their breakfast breads of choices and cafe Cortado - that would make your day! Atmosphere: 8/10 Food/coffee: 8/10 Value: 9/10

Arrived at the hotel early and needed a late breakfast or early lunch. Just a few blocks away was this gem with take away and eat-in options. Great sandwiches and pastries at a good price.

For breakfast I finally had the traditional toast with tomato. I had whole wheat and the bread was very good. My caffe con lecha was also very good too. Very reasonably priced. Then I went back this afternoon to get a cheesecake to celebrate a birthday. The cheesecake is delicious.

This cute small bakery was crowded with only 1 very hard worker (until about 20 min later when a 2nd lady arrived). The coffee was great. My bagel with cream cheese and lox was unfortunately cold and not toasted. My spouse said his quiche was delicious

Frequented by many locals. Few tourists. Amazing pastries! Our group ate a delicious bacon and onion quiche, open faced Iberico ham and cheese sandwich, tuna empanada, banana muffin, and chocolate croissant. They also make freshly squeezed orange juice. Good! Service was pretty efficient despite having to wait a bit as we came on a Monday and they only had 1 served and 1 behind the kitchen.
