Tetuán owes its name to the army that camped in the Amaniel pastures after the African war of 1860. Traders settled around the camp, and the place became Tetuán de las Victorias, after the Moroccan city the soldiers had returned from.1 The Paseo de la Castellana marks its eastern edge, with the AZCA towers near the southern end.1

Calle de Bravo Murillo holds the district together, and its coffee is mostly the unfussy kind: long-hours cafeterías, churrerías and market counters. The specialty places are scattered off it. Migration shapes this part of the city too; the 2002 municipal register counted about ten thousand Ecuadorians, the largest foreign group in the district.1

Local tip: For a coffee before an early shift, get off line 1 at Estrecho: Cafetería Estrecho opens at 06:00 from Monday to Saturday, and the Mercado de Maravillas is a short walk south along Bravo Murillo.1

A chef's roastery on Capitán Blanco Argibay

Agustín Fernández, a former chef, founded 1000 Cups Roastery with his wife, Laura, in 2019.4 He put a Giesen W15 roaster behind a large window, buys from Central America, East Africa and Brazil, and aims for half of it to be direct trade.4 The company's site now also gives an industrial unit in Algete as an address, sells machines alongside beans and runs an academy, so ask at the café what is being roasted where.5

Ecuadorian microlots on Rosario Pino

Jairo Sanguña and Mónica Ullana, a couple from Ecuador, opened Emka in 2023 and named it after their daughters, Emily and Katerina.6 They bring in about 2,200 kilos of green coffee by sea every three to four months, from microlots in the Amazon, Galápagos, Imbabura, Pichincha and Loja, and roast it in Madrid.6

The café at Calle de Rosario Pino 8 pairs espresso, filter methods and cold brew with a brunch kitchen, and a second bar is on Calle del Poeta Joan Maragall.7 The owners have turned down franchise offers.6

Two brothers on Federico Rubio y Galí

Green Coffee, at Avenida del Doctor Federico Rubio y Galí 32 on the western edge of the district, is run by brothers Oscar and David.8 They describe a route from Madrid through London, Brighton, Argentina and Milan that shaped their coffee, and they sell their beans as artisan roasts.8 It keeps some of the longest specialty hours in Tetuán, until 21:00 every day. On the opposite side of the district, Little Society, at Calle de la Infanta Mercedes 4, pairs specialty coffee with a baby lounge and play area.
