7 brunch places introduced by (former) Madrid residents. We introduce only the trendiest places that are filled with Spanish sensibility and colors :)
Toma Café Olavide
One of the cafés that best fits the adjective 'Madrid-esque'. Enjoying the Menudeldia brunch and the sun at the colorful outdoor tables while overlooking the square, all worries disappear, leaving only a full sense of leisure. Offering healthy menus such as hummus and falafel with side dishes like sauerkraut, it delivers the fullest taste in a small plate. The latte here is very nutty without acidity, making it suitable to enjoy with types of cookies. A space that no one can dislike.
Toma Café 1
Toma Café in Malasaña, a trendy café surrounded by vintage shops and boutiques, offers a rustic, healthy brunch and quality coffee. The place is always exciting with its varying selection of toasts and baked sweets. It's recommended to visit during off-peak hours or on weekdays to avoid the weekend crowd.
Honest Greens Castellana
Honest Greens takes responsibility for a very healthy, hearty, and pleasant meal. While the name might conjure up the image of a salad bar filled only with an excessive amount of vegetables, it's a brunch place that offers stylish custom plates with a variety of main dishes such as beef tataki, salmon steak, and charcoal-grilled chicken legs coated with paprika powder, along with exotic sides. Recommended dishes include Pollo Piripiri, daily changing hummus, and miso mushroom rice. In fact, all the menu items have a unique taste and are full of flavor, making it a good idea for Madrid or Barcelona long-term residents to visit multiple times to try everything on the menu.
Mazál Bagels & Café
Incomparably charming Masa Bagel in Madrid, it's hard to find a bagel with such care and ingredient quality anywhere in Europe! With the Choose Two Bagels option, you can split one bagel in half to create two different flavored open sandwiches. The smoked salmon cream cheese toast and avocado toast are both fresh and generously topped, with a variety of herbs and seeds that blend well together, offering unending savory taste and fun in texture. The chosen bagel, named Everything, was topped abundantly with various nuts and seeds, making it fragrantly nutty. For only an additional 2 euros to the weekend brunch set menu of 11€, you can taste two types of toast, granola yogurt, fresh juice, and coffee, making it a perfect brunch place without missing a thing.
La Rollerie La Terrasse
Incredibly full of colors, dishes 😋 Now I understand 100% why the restaurant is so famous :)
Crêperie La Rue
Creperie La Rue, which specializes in crepes, but has a very substantial breakfast toast menu. Greek yogurt, granola, fresh juice, and coffee are provided if you choose from a variety of toasts. The space itself is as beautiful as a postcard, making it the perfect place to enjoy a weekend brunch.

Café del Art
A laptop-friendly cafe, which is rare in Madrid, living up to its name, offers comfort and relaxation to those staying in a calm and study-like atmosphere. A vintage map of the world, various lights and props from which country it may have come from, create a unique feeling.
