La Desayunería Barbieri

My husband and I were walking by looking for a place for breakfast. Walked from our Hotel off the Gran Via and wanted to eat like the locals. Loved it and came back for a second time. Si regresamos a Madrid pronto , ahí estaremos. 😊

La Desayuneria in Chueca is a cozy spot for an American-style breakfast, complete with U.S.-themed decorations and a year-round Christmas tree. The menu has plenty of gluten-free options, including pancakes, which is a nice touch. It’s also very child-friendly, with coloring pages and pencils at every table to keep little ones entertained. I tried the New York cheesecake, which was a bit crumbly and missing a crust, so not my favorite—but the warm atmosphere makes up for it. I’d definitely come back to try other dishes.

We didn’t have any reservations but still only had to wait about 5 min to get seated. The place is small but surprisingly packs a lot of people. This creates an atmosphere of excitement and movement which I personally enjoyed. It didn’t take long for our orders to be taken. There was a lot to choose from but we went with the waffle with fried chicken and mac & cheese, and added bacon on the side. It was delicious! It truly tasted like authentic American food, and the portions were generous too (even if I would’ve loved more Mac & cheese cause it truly was the best I’ve had so far). We ended up sharing the plate and it was the perfect size to not end up too full. The only disappointment was the Strawberry Caramel Milkshake. The toppings were nice and delicious but the actual milkshake itself tasted watered down and barely had any flavour. I wouldn’t recommend taking it unless you like smoothies that have the consistency and taste of water. Overall, however, I definitely recommend trying the place. We enjoyed it and til this day think about going back.

Such a cute place. Food and coffee was great. Staff was great too. We had 8 people and they sat us easily. Food was quick and everyone was happy with their order. They also have merchandise so I got a cute mug.

Wow I am So happy! I am from Boston Massachusetts and growing up I always went to diners on Sundays for breakfast with family Since starting my life in Madrid the only things I have missed was the American breakfast. This fufilled everything , I’ll definitely be back 😊🫶

Great place when you’re craving for a good American brunch. Lots of choices too! Would recommend to make a reservation.

Very cute American-style restaurant for breakfast. There are even drawing activities available for kids (and adults who enjoy it) while waiting for your orders

A lovely small American pancake cafe. Not too busy but it was Monday afternoon. Had pancake with Kinder chocolate, wow it was hot, freshly made and lovely. Too much for me to finish unfortunately, wife had a huge piece of carrot cake, it was lovely moist and tasty. A little gem in the back streets of Madrid.
