Coffee caught on in Madrid early in the 19th century, and Hostelería Madrid, the hospitality trade association, counts many of the city's cafés among the places where its history was written.1 Two from the 1880s still open their doors. Café Comercial was licensed on the Glorieta de Bilbao on 21 March 1887, shut on 27 July 2015 and came back on 27 March 2017.2 The Gran Café de Gijón, on Paseo de Recoletos since 15 May 1888, reopened in late March 2026 after five months of renovation under Grupo Cappuccino.3
The other old habit is chocolate con churros, thick hot chocolate with fried dough loops, eaten for breakfast, as a merienda (afternoon snack) or at dawn after a night out.1 Chocolatería San Ginés has fried churros on the Pasadizo de San Ginés since 1894.4
Specialty coffee is younger. Toma Café opened at 49 Calle de la Palma in Malasaña in 2011, and Randall Coffee Roasters has been on Calle de Vallehermoso in Chamberí since 2014.5 In January 2025 the regional government and Hostelería Madrid published Madrid Barista, a guide to 44 specialty coffee bars in the region, 39 of them in the capital.6

How to order coffee in Madrid
Bar coffee here starts from an espresso. A café solo is the plain shot, a cortado adds a splash of milk and a café con leche is half coffee, half milk; a manchado (stained) turns it round, mostly warm milk with a little coffee, which makes it a gentle afternoon order.7 Traditional bars often pour it into a vaso, a small clear glass with no handle.7
Many people drink a first cup at home and stop at a bar around 10:00–11:00 for coffee with toast, a pastry or a slice of tortilla (potato omelet); the merienda comes around 17:00–18:00.7 A churro is thin, ridged and crisp, while a porra is thicker and spongier inside because the dough is leavened, so it holds up better in dense chocolate.8 Café Comercial fries churros only from 08:30 to 12:00.9
Standing at the barra (bar counter) is cheaper. On Café Comercial's September 2025 menu an espresso cost €2.30 at the bar and €2.90 in the salon, with 10% more on the terrace.9 Bar coffee is usually a mezcla, natural roast blended with torrefacto, beans roasted with sugar that caramelizes into a glossy coat; torrefacto brews darker, with a stronger bitterness, and Spanish rules cap the sugar at 15 kg per 100 kg of green coffee.10 For coffee without it, go to a specialty bar.7
Cafés keep late hours. The Gran Café de Gijón serves until 01:00 from Sunday to Thursday and until 02:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and Café de Oriente, facing the Royal Palace, closes at midnight.311 San Ginés says it opens 24 hours a day, every day of the year.4

FAQ
Cafés in Madrid: common questions
How much does a coffee cost in Madrid?
Time Out Madrid put a café con leche at €2.50 and a coffee-and-toast breakfast at €3.75 in March 2025. At Café Comercial on the Glorieta de Bilbao an espresso cost €2.30 at the bar and €2.90 in the salon in 2025, with 10% more on the terrace. Specialty cafés charged €3–4 for a flat white or cappuccino in late 2025.
Which neighborhood of Madrid has the most cafés?
Chamberí and Salamanca have the most cafés, followed by Malasaña & Conde Duque. Both are 19th-century ensanche districts on a grid, with bars and bakeries on the ground floors. Salamanca matches Chamberí for specialty cafés, from Calle de María de Molina to Calle de Alcántara, and Chamberí has the most terraces.
What is the difference between a cortado and a café con leche in Madrid?
A cortado is an espresso with a splash of milk; a café con leche is half coffee and half milk. A manchado reverses it: mostly warm milk stained with a little coffee. A café solo is the plain espresso, and traditional Madrid bars often serve all of them in a vaso, a small clear glass without a handle.
Where can you get chocolate con churros late at night in Madrid?
Chocolatería San Ginés, on the Pasadizo de San Ginés, has made churros since 1894 and says it is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Six churros with chocolate cost €4.50 there in 2026. Madrileños eat chocolate con churros for breakfast, as an afternoon merienda and at dawn after a night out.
What is torrefacto coffee in Madrid bars?
Torrefacto is coffee roasted with sugar, which caramelizes into a glossy coat on the beans and brews darker, with a stronger bitterness. Spanish rules cap the sugar at 15 kg per 100 kg of green coffee. Madrid bars usually serve a mezcla, natural roast blended with torrefacto; for coffee without it, go to a specialty bar.
