Bakery pastry Panishop - Studies — Restaurant in Madrid

We were served by Eli, who patiently took our order and helped us choose alternatives when the items we originally wanted ran out just before our eyes. The cake we ended up with, instead of the cheesecake we had hoped for, was tasty and not too sweet.

We also had our first torrija—a traditional Spanish treat that, while often lazily referred to abroad as “Spanish French toast,” is quite different and really shouldn't be called that (and rightly so!). Eli explained the typical ingredients that go into making torrija, such as orange, lemon, and cinnamon. She even suggested we try sprinkling a little cinnamon on top after tasting it, which we did—and it really enhanced the flavour.

The cappuccino was also good—a rare find in Spain based on our experiences so far, where coffee often tends to be over-roasted and ends up tasting burnt or overly sour.

And finally, I just love the clever play on words in the name...

This place is the best! We were looking for a good breakfast place, and came across this one. Their menu is in English! We got two croissants that were hot, with butter, with jam, and two cappuccinos, and two free glasses of water for 5.80€. The croissants were excellent! And, this place has free Wi-Fi!

This is a very interesting and atmospheric place to visit. I enjoyed this cafe. Some desserts are delicious and some are very simple. You have to see for yourself. The staff is quite fast and friendly despite the fact that it is very crowded. On the downside I can say that their way of packing your dessert on the road is a very bad way: they wrap it in paper on a tray but then it has a very bad look when you...
