Chocolateria San Ginés

The Churros and chocolate is a specialty of this region and this legendary cafe specializes in it for almost 100 years. Loved the food and the ambiance, especially the pictures of the celebrities along the walls. It’s a fun place with a couple of different seating cafes of their own in the same square. So you are bound to find a spot in one of them for sure. Don’t miss this place on your trip to Spain. It’s heavenly.

Churros if it is you must try here with hot chocolate. It was great. The place is well organised. You pay and outside they arrange you place to seat and then get your order. They have got some great cookies and ice cream too.

As I dipped my churros into this brown frothy almost thick chocolate caliente , my eagerness and excitement even grew further .... And as the churros landed in my mouth ...the warm chocolate taste spread on my tongue... recognized it's goodness and very tamed sweetness.... It is so clear that since 1845 they had been serving the same chocolate caliente and I was not disappointed...and definitely recommendable plus the service is very good the staffs are friendly. Try their cafe con leche as well and you will time travel in 1845 :) for it's robust flavor....

The food was so good, as always. The churros and porras were crunchy and oily as they should be. But they seemed a bit cold, perhaps because it was evening. The waitress who served us today seemed unfriendly, no happy face.

You simply can’t leave Madrid without trying Chocolatería San Ginés. The chocolate is rich and velvety, and the churros are perfectly crisp, an unforgettable experience!

The best churros and hot chocolate in the world! This shop is a dream for churro lovers, the churros are perfectly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and always fresh. Paired with their rich, velvety hot chocolate, it’s an experience you won’t forget. Warm atmosphere, friendly service, and pure indulgence. An absolute must-visit!

You cannot visit Madrid without a visit to the world famous chocolateria San gines, it’s as simple as that. It was around €5.60 per person for this cup of chocolate and churros, I wouldn’t pick churros off a menu in any restaurant/cafe anywhere really, but here, it has to be done and I have to say, honestly, they’re like no churro I have ever tasted! These were lovely and I am so glad that I have been… I will be going back! You make your order at the till and are given a receipt and escorted to your table. Once sat down, a waiter will come and collect your receipt and then make your order and deliver it to the table, the whole experience is lovely as well as simple. Depending on the seat, the chocolate is prepared in front of you at one of the bars.

My wife and I enjoyed a great cafe con leche and small plate of 4 churros with chocolate sauce for dipping. The chocolate sauce is plentiful and a great way to go from cafe con leche to a mocha! Walls are covered in celeb photos going wayyyy back. Great ambience. Don't miss it!
