## Every review in Madrid

- [Hola Coffee Fourquet](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/hola-coffee-fourquet) Steep Pick La Latina / Lavapiés · Steep Index 8.6/10

A small, easy-to-miss specialty cafe in Lavapiés, run by a Spanish Barista Champion, and one of the more serious coffee stops in Madrid.

- [Salmon Guru](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/salmon-guru) Steep Pick Barrio de las Letras · Steep Index 8.5/10

A World's 50 Best Bar in Barrio de las Letras, where seasonal menus and vibrant interiors back up the ranking without making you feel like you are paying for the accolades.

- [Ruda Café](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/ruda-cafe) Steep Pick La Latina / Lavapiés · Steep Index 8.5/10

A small specialty café hidden in the narrow streets of La Latina, near the Rastro market, with rotating single-origin coffees and baristas who can actually tell you why they chose the beans on the counter.

- [Honest Greens Serrano](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/honest-greens-serrano) Steep Pick Recoletos, Salamanca · Steep Index 8.5/10

A healthy-food restaurant with a coffee program good enough to be the actual reason to visit, tucked into one of Madrid's most upscale shopping streets.

- [Misión Café](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/mision-cafe) Steep Pick Conde Duque · Steep Index 8.5/10

A specialty café and bakehouse in Conde Duque with a direct-trade coffee programme, a cortado worth going out of your way for, and avocado toast made from bread they baked that morning.

- [HanSo Café](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/hanso-cafe)Malasaña · Steep Index 8.0/10

A small, stylish Malasaña café that has earned a genuine neighbourhood following, with coffee and food that justify the queue. Go with company and budget time for the wait.

- [Cero Coffee Roasters](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/cero-coffee-roasters)Goya · Steep Index 7.9/10

A specialty roaster and takeout counter in Salamanca with solid single-origin sourcing and an owner who knows the supply chain from seed to cup. The cup on this visit did not quite match the conversation.

- [Toma Café](https://thesteep.app/cities/madrid/toma-cafe)Malasaña · Steep Index 7.8/10

One of the original specialty roasteries in Madrid, running out of a small Malasaña room since 2011. The flat white is honest, the cinnamon pastry will cost you a second coffee, and the solo experience is better than most.
