Masamune Speciality Coffee — Restaurant in Madrid

Masamune Café—bookmark it, Uber to it, do whatever it takes to get there.

This place came highly recommended by a local barista, and it delivered. Let’s start with the coffee—because oh my goodness, this may very well be the best flat white I’ve had anywhere in the world. I’m not exaggerating. Perfectly textured, smooth as silk, with an espresso blend that hits every note: toffee, mandarina, and chocolate. The baristas are absolute pros—calm, focused, and crafting drinks like it’s an art form.

The staff weren’t very easy to understand and didn’t seem particularly motivated, which took away from the experience.

We didn’t try any food or notice the availability of Wi-Fi or power outlets, so can’t comment on those. Overall, great coffee, but the rest could use some...

I've probably walked passed here a dozen time without realizing it was there (or maybe it's new). The baristas greeted me right away and let me take a menu to a table until I had decided what I wanted. I ordered an iced espresso and a vegan orange bizcocho for 8 euros. Definitely a little higher than usual, but they served the coffee and ice seperately in a nice cup on a little tray and a massive slice of bizcocho!! The great service, plently of seating, and good dose of salsa (especially the Frankie Ruiz and Lalo Rodriguez yesterday), make it worth a stop! They had two different espressos available -...
