Hustle and Bustle here, introverts be aware. This place is BUSY!!! But also, amazing. The lower level can be confusing for new visitors and tourists that don’t speak the language. You have a take away counter for grab and go, OR you can grab a ticket and wait for the Dining room (Salon) upstairs. People waiting for their numbers to be called wait in the same area as the take away counter so it gets a bit confusing and overwhelming if you’ve never been there. This was my first visit and we (party of 4) figured it out after about 10mins. Once you get your number and it’s called to go upstairs you’re seated at a smallish table in a snug dining room. The servers are moving at light speed with crazy precision. We got 1 menu to use for 4 people. Because they’re moving at such a pace they can come off a bit abrupt, and the language seemed to be an issue for our 1 server. Zero time for any translating apps. Food came out reasonably quickly for the volume of the dining room. One of the orders was incorrect but we never had another visit to the table until the bill came. (Was different server than the previous 2 other servers). The food we did get was excellent, and even the incorrect item was eaten and delicious. We are going to head up there 1 more time now that we know what we’re doing and what to expect to see if it was just a 1 time issue. I will update this review with any changes.

My wife told me about this bakery in Madrid she needed to go to. It’s got pretty modern asthetics along with very highly recommendations. Look no further and the fish morning we set foot to this establishment. We arrived 10 minutes after it opened and you could already see both counters busy. When waking in, there are two entrances - one from the side and one from the middle of the bakery. Orders are taken at any one of the counters and paid for there as well. My wife ordered a cafe con Leche & plain crossaint for herself. I ordered a pau de chocolat (chocolate) pastry. My wife enjoyed sipping on her cafe con Leche as the pastries were getting selected. There was an option to sit upstairs but we took ours to go and ate in our hotel. Once we took pictures of the food, we then devoured and this was the best pau de chocolat I ever had. The powdered sugar & touch of salt on top made the difference. The attention to detail with their dough could be seen in both pastries. My wife loved her croissant. The flaky layers & the slight crunch of every bite of the croissant her smile grew bigger. This was a delicacy of fine fashion when it comes to croissants. We were pleased all the way around and happy to go back when in Madrid.

This place is an experience for those who haven’t tried a typical Spanish way of eating breakfast on the go. There are 3 areas: 1. Para llevar / take away - no queue, just stand in front and someone will come and get your order (it took only 10 Seconds before someone took our order despite the crowd) 2. Eat standing up and have your coffee and bread on the counter - this is the experience! 3. Seated at a table on the 2nd floor Food and the ordering system is much like the olden days, it’s not like today’s McDonalds where one can get a rocket and be called for take away. I much prefer to experience the old Spanish style since it’s a part of their culture and tradition. There are other places that are “modernized” where everyone sits down and the waiter gets your order. The food too, is more of a tradition. Don’t expect gluten free, lactose free and sugar free. They have products that were made and sold during grandmother’s era. It’s chaotic but fun. A cultural experience, definitely.

As soon as you get off the Sol Metro stop, La Mallorquina draws you in immediately with their display of their sweet sweet pastries. We decided to grab a little breakfast here to get our day started. You can order in the back and eat by the bar (standing room only) or you can walk upstairs and grab a table. If you are lucky enough to grab a table by the window, you can have the perfect view of Puerta del Sol! We ordered the Napolitana with Chocolate, Chocolate Croissant, Cafe Bombon (Espresso with Condensed Milk..so good!!) And Mixto con huevo (Ham, and Cheese with egg sandwich..totally hit the spot!) The pastries were a bit sweet for my taste, even for my boyfriend who likes sweets more than I do thought it was too sweet. We definitely enjoyed the more savory part of our breakfast, the Mixto con huevo. Egg was perfectly cooked! And the Cafe Bombon was tasty!

I wouldn’t recommend their croissants and most of the pastries, there are cheaper and better places to get those. You could probably even find a better croissant at a grocery store. But they do have a fair amount of wonderful cakes that are unique to their shop that you can purchase by the slice. I particularly like their strawberry shortcake; the whipped cream is refreshing and for the quality of the ingredients and amount of fruit it’s not bad at €3/slice (20€ for the whole cake). Their red velvet is also good. The only reason I hesitate to buy from here sometimes is because there are a few shop attendants that can be rude and package the cakes sloppily. I feel that premium bakery prices should at least entail a solid box packaged with care. I speak Spanish when I come here but most of them are not very good with English or tourists.
