Toma Café - Review - Malasaña - Madrid - The Infatuation

"If you were to stop by any cafe in Madrid and ask for an iced coffee, they’d hand you a mug of hot coffee with a glass of ice on the side. Toma Café serves cold brew, which is exactly what you need in the middle of a Spanish summer. Not only do they have high-quality coffee, but they also carry non-dairy milk (which is as hard to find here as a restaurant open during siesta). On a typical afternoon there isn’t a ton of seating, so ask for that flat white “para llevar” or to-go." - Cristina Shipe

10 Best Coffee Shops in Madrid | Condé Nast Traveler

"Picture the coolest coffee shop on a college campus, and that's Toma: snug, chilled out, and just tweedy enough that no one will flinch if you roll up with a laptop and a pile of books. If hipsterdom were a cuisine, this place would embody it with its Instagrammable toasts (avocado and black sesame, goat cheese and strawberry), natural wines by the glass, and fruit-topped chia bowls. The menu might be gawked at in New York City for being a tad played out, but nobody in Madrid is complaining. Specialty coffee is the watchword here: ever-rotating brews from small-scale producers around the world ensure even the savviest coffee connoisseurs don't get bored (Ethiopian honey process drip for the win). And yes, that's a top-of-the-line La Marzocco Strada espresso machine behind the bar." - Benjamin Kemper

This place is amazing! I tried both the Bolivian and the Indian espresso they had to offer and they were perfect shots. There was not a hint of bitterness and I was truly able to enjoy the notes of the coffee. I also had to try their cinnamon roll and it was baked perfectly. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed visiting with them and learning more about their coffee. They also roast their own coffee which is such an amazing thing. This place is a must visit for coffee lovers in Madrid!

Dirty table. I asked for oat milk, but they brought normal. I said for here, but they bought it in a plastic cup, I don't understand why. Only liked the ambiance both in the cafe and on the street. Also, music was on a normal level despite the deafening volume in their other branch. I went back to try the coffee and the food, the coffee was tasty but the bacon was burned. The service was quick but they brought our orders wrong a couple of times. Good thing, they played the Beatles all the time.

Toma Café is everything I want in a coffee spot! Great energy, no computers, no drama, just people who actually care about coffee. The vibe is super intentional and the setup lets you see the barista in action, which I love. Huge thanks to Carlos, who made the experience even better. He heard me talking about the details of the beans and made each of the flat whites with a different blend so that I could try! One from India and one from Rwanda. The Indian one was a lighter, floral roast that worked beautifully as a cortado or pour-over. The Rwandan was perfect in the flat white—smooth, balanced, with bourbon notes and a touch of grapefruit. Seriously talented barista. He split one jug into two and still managed to pour perfect stacks in both cups. If you care about quality and craft, this place is a must.

Every so often, I’m reminded of the mark we leave wherever we go. I’m always eager to visit places spoken of with reverence where the food is praised and the coffee remembered. This time, I believed the 40 minute walk was worth it. I was right. The food met expectations. The coffee was excellent. Still, it was clear we had wandered where we weren’t entirely welcome. We weren’t mistreated, not directly, but we felt it. This is a place for locals a corner of their daily life. We had crossed into something personal. I apologize for intruding into your world, all I looked for and wanted was a taste of what you offered.

Enjoyed this cafe so much. I tried all their locations and brought back their espresso beans. Avocado toast are a must try.

Cozy space on a quieter street in the city center. It was pretty busy on the Sunday afternoon I came, but not uncomfortably so. My flat white wasn't great, being barely lukewarm and on the bitter side. I've had better in the vicinity. I'd hoped to get a little work done on the laptop, but all tables had a "no laptops, no drama" sign (I'd also hoped to bring the drama, but alas...), including the unoccupied ones in the back of the house. Maybe that's just a weekend thing.

Probably the strongest coffee I've ever had! I got an iced latte and it was delicious but definitely beware it's strong. I also got the lemon loaf which was really good. They also have a lot of avocado toast and sandwiches which I want to try another time. Staff was really friendly and the vibes were good. My only complaint is that you can only use your computer in the back with bar stools which wasn't comfortable and I'm not sure why you can't use it in the front.

Cute little quick service cafe, no laptops in the front but laptops allowed in the bar seating in the back! It was almost empty when we arrived, but 3/4 of the tables were full by the time we left. You order by the drinks machine, we got the avocado tosta and the sun dried tomato olive tosta, a chai latte and a caffe au lait. Everything was super delicious and fresh, service was very nice and they spoke English to us when we needed it which was much appreciated. Perfect for a light brunch or a quick snack and coffee while browsing the vintage shops nearby.

Venimos acá a tomar un café. Es un lugar muy íntimo y más para hablar con otros que para trabar. There is, however, bar seating where you can work on your laptops but you just can't do that in the front seating area. Their pastries are also very delicious so don't forget to grab one...or two.

Perfect 3rd-wave coffee shop! Excellent coffee, great food, and very professional baristas! Definitely worthwhile visiting even if it is out of your way if you are a follower of specialty cafe. If you are a tourist like me, the baristas I met speaks PERFECT English. I only hope that they can open a bit earlier in the morning.

I absolutely loved the coffee selection at Toma Café! They had a little bit of everything. I didn't see what food options they had, but the cake looked good! What I ordered: I got a small chai latte. It was delicious! The price was good too. The vibe of this place was very chill. It was loud at some points (I was there at 6 on a Wednesday night) so I wouldn't recommend studying there at night. A great place to hang out!

10/10 for sure. Service was amazing, coffee was incredible even for my outrageous Australian standards, and the toasts for breakfast were put of this world. Special mention to the olive oil that brings everything together on the avo toast. Can't recommend this pplace enough.

So cute and excellent options! Definitely recommend the chai latte and the brownie. Very limited seating, so try to get there asap! Despite it being a workday, it was crowded.

I was driven by the Yelp reviews to walk to this place. It is not far of a walk from Gran Via. It is located on a quieter side street. The inside of Toma is bustling. You can order takeaway at the bar or go ahead and have them seat you. It is small place so it was loud. I needed to be on a conference call so luckily I had the chance to eat and drink quickly prior to connecting to the meeting. The cappuccino was a disappoint. The taste was off. It had a bad burnt aftertaste. The coffee foam was deformed. I ordered a gluten free avocado toast. Beware because of you order it gluten free it is deconstructed. The gluten free bread is served pre-wrapped after being warmed in the oven. The avocado is mashed and in a tiny container. The avocado mash was tasteless. So I had to a spread the avocado and cut my bread myself. I understand Toma probably serves the gluten free bread this way to avoid cross contamination but I was tAken a back about having to make my own avo toast at my tiny table. This place is bustling so do not expect a squeaky clean table upon arrival. The two stars really is for the horrible cappuccino though. A pity, because like add cafes in Madrid, the customer service was friendly.

Super adorable cafe in a hip area of Madrid. The decor is funky and there are plenty of seats for people who want to do work or dine in. We went on a rainy day and it was still crowded! My boyfriend and I order two different toasts. I don't remember the name but one of them had strawberries, goat cheese, and honey. And the other had sun-dried tomatoes and ricotta cheese. Both were very delicious and unique. Highly recommend this cute cafe if you are in the area.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Madrid. It is located in the Universidad area. It is about a 15-20 min walk from Gran Vía, but well worth the experience. It has a very hipster vibe, and many different forms of seating. They have relaxing music playing in the background. The environment makes this coffee shop better than others I experienced. I could have stayed her for hours drinking coffee and reading a book. Another cool part to this coffee shop is that the employees make your coffee in the open in the middle of the shop. It feels very welcoming and like you are taking a coffee in the home of a friend. They offer free water which you can fix yourself with glasses sitting beside the pitcher. The shop has many plants that they take care of and are very eco-friendly. It is yet another reason this place is so trendy and hipster.

Nice coffee shop with a good ambient. I had a Toastada which was perfectly toasted and with a lot of good olive oil and a nice addition of good salt on the side to add by yourself at your choice. The espresso was also good.

A few days into our Euro trip, we began to feel a little homesick. With the help of the Community Manager in Madrid, Lolo R., we came across this lovely little cafe tucked between the streets. The staff was very friendly, offering recommendations and cracking some jokes. I highly recommend the avocado toast. It was deliciously fresh, perfected with a hint a rosemary and a light cream cheese spread. Their espresso worked its magic as well! We were caffeinated for a full day of adventure. They also serve a variety of fresh cakes for those who crave something sweeter in the mornings. What I liked most about Toma Café was its international feel. There were two walls where visitors would sign/comment with their native language. It was heartwarming to come across "coffee-house" and "water" written in Armenian. Please, do not overlook this shop during your visit to Madrid!

Cute and dim little place, the servers spoke English as well. This is more of an American place but I don't mind because their avocado toast is delicious!! I would like to try their coffee next time as it seems quite popular. Avocado Toast (€4)-5/5 Crunchy bread topped with cream cheese, smooth avocado, and some blueberries. On the side it came with salt, lemon, and cilantro. And that's the perfect avocado toast!

Such a cute coffee shop! Ducked off in an ally and had some great avocado toast and coffee. Very quaint coffee shop with small amounts of seating but exciting energy. Free wifi and some of the best cafe con leche. The pan de tomate and avocado toast are highly recommended!

Hidden away off the tourist path is the Toma Café. A eclectic vibe with music to match. They have an orange cappuccino that is quite special as they make it from a milk infused with orange that is something I haven't had before. Quite a popular place for people in the know but still good seating in the back. Good place if you're looking for some place for a few hours away from the central area.

One of my all time favorite cafés in the trendy and hipster Malasaña neighborhood. It's usually pretty busy in the morning, but so worth going if you can find a spot. The café doesn't look like much from the outside, but the toasts and cappuccinos are to DIE for. Please do yourself a favor and get the avocado toast with cream cheese, lime, fruit, salt, and lime, or strawberry toast with mascarpone cheese and honey. It tastes as good as it sounds. And when you think you're pretty full, think again. The pastries--often gluten-free-- displayed on the main counter are to-die for. I had a slice of carrot cake and a chocolate chip cookie, both of which were UNREAL. If you do manage to find a spot in the café, there's free wifi so you can sit there and eat toast after toast, pastry after pastry, just like I do. Can't go wrong with Toma Café.

Needed to get some work done so I searched for a nice study spot nearby. So happy I found this place! It's a little hole in the wall cafe with a very aesthetic interior and great/unique food and drinks! I ordered an avocado toast with cream cheese, lime, and seasonal fruits (got blueberries this time) - it was delicious! Also ordered the chaimonada, a mix of Chai tea and lemonade. Nice and refreshing! They have free wifi which makes it a good spot to work but be aware there are very minimal outlets (if any) and not many tables for working. Would be a great place to meet with friends over a drink and snack!

Our first coffee shop in Madrid. This place seem to be one of the best coffee places near our hotel and to satisfy my caffeine need I ordered our old fashioned Americano. To my surprise, their coffee tastes slightly sour and probably thats how their coffee beans are but I needed a real coffee with no surprises. Very uber, tiny and cozy place for quick coffee or brunches and several of books to read here. People seem quite informal to share tables and sitting space that can get awkwardly close. P.S. lactose intolerants - They do not serve cream/half and half with coffee, it's milk (leche) only!

The best flat white in Madrid!! This is after 5 Artemis at different local coffee shops. Loved my Gouda Sandwich and slice of chocolate cake. Super friendly Batista's and quaint little seating area with free wi-fi. If I was here longer I'd cover every day. Highly recommend it to any one looking for good eats and coffee :)

This was definitely one of my favorite experiences in Madrid. It's a coffee shop, and nothing they serve seems particularly special, but they just do it all really well. I had a cafe con leche, which was much stronger than any of the other ones I had in town, in a good way. The cappuccino was also excellent. The avocado toast with cream cheese and pomegranate was delicious and hearty, and I liked that they served it on wheat bread. I also had a piece of the carrot cake, which was also excellent. It had more of the consistency and sweetness of zucchini bread, rather than what I traditionally think of as a dessert-type carrot cake, but that was exactly what I was in the mood for. Service was great and fast, even though they were pretty crowded when I went. As an added bonus, they have free wifi. This is a great place to linger for a while. If you're staying in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. I would have easily eaten breakfast here every day if I'd found it sooner.

With so many cafes in Malasaña, it's hard to pick out which one to go to. We ended up at Toma for a midday coffee pick me up and opted for a light snack and a pourover to share. We didn't stay long, and we didn't eat or drink a lot, but I really loved the shop itself, and the coffee was great. Their toasts looked great, and had I been more hungry, this would have been an easy go-to for a snack.

I came here after checking the ratings on yelp, and I definitely do not regret coming here for brunch! I got the avocado test with an iced caramel latte. The music and vibes are amazing... very chill and jazzy. The place is tiny/small but cozy. I definitely recommend this place if you're a visitor or not! Prices are very reasonable on the cheap end of the spectrum. As a critic I would say the WiFi is definitely not something you wanna count on.

Hip café in the super-hip Malasaña. We stopped in 2 of the 3 days we were in Madrid for a cold brew with cream & orange, a really smooth and only slightly sweet concoction. Perfect for swooping before exploring the nearby streets and their countless vintage/boutique/record shops. Space itself is open, minimally decorated, (did I already say hip?), but the island register slash coffee station can be a bit confusing on your first visit. We didn't eat anything but the food (toasts, pastries, etc) all looked super delicious.

My family and I came here for a morning coffee when we first arrived to Madrid from Barcelona. We ordered two cafe con leches and sat down in a corner to decide what our plans were for the day. The coffee they make here tastes like an artisan latte made back at home (in the USA) and I really enjoyed that. I also like the fact that there is a solid wifi connection here so if one wishes to browse the internet or to do some work, they can. The clientele here is a mix of everybody including foreign students (I heard people speaking english), locals and other people who come from other parts of Europe. Toma Cafe is a quaint little coffee shop that has all the things one would like in a Cafe.

Spain has great coffee everywhere but this place in particular has excellent coffee. My fiancee ordered the cold brew toque de leche naranja (touch of milk with and orange peel) and I had the cortado (expresso with a touch of milk). Both were wonderful. The cold brew in particular was different than what we have in the States in a good way. My fiancée is not much of a coffee drinker and even she enjoyed the cold brew. The cafe is small with a nice, local feel to it and located in a hipster area. The staff spoke English well and was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are nearby and want a cup of coffee. This place also accepted my visa credit card and has free wifi.

Great little coffee shop tucked into a small space. Cortado was excellent and well prepared. My daughter and I both ordered the avocado toast. Very generous serving! The toasted bread was warm and crunchy underneath the fresh avocado. Great stop for a coffee and small breakfast!

Perfect place for a coffee (which is all we ordered, so can't speak for the food). The inside is beautifully decorated-definitely hipster with plenty of seats and a nice place to enjoy a cafe with a few friends (not a large group). Also, there's free wifi which is a definite plus for the tourists. Very reasonable prices and wonderfully made expresso drinks. 1.2€ euro for an expresso, 1.3€ euro for a cortado (just a little milk), 1.5/2 euro for a regular/large cafe con leche, 2/2.5 euro for a regular/large cappuccino. Very friendly service and the cafes are super smooth and really hit the spot.

Lovely Cafe in heart of Milan. Very reasonable price point for amazing coffee and food. As visitor of Milan, we discovered this gem in the hipster neighborhood. It was small but so much to offer. My favorite is the Vegan Sandwhich - filled with crunchy cucumber and egg plants. It was filling and worth every bite. We came back twice at the end of our trip. Wish we have something like this in the States. Bravo

I will start with why it doesn't get 5 stars - very few food options. This is NOT a breakfast place, at least not in the way we (americans) think of a breakfast place. it's a cafe with good and solid internet, several tables, excellent coffee and overall great service. (there's a back area, so if the front is full, don't get discouraged) I went in super hungry and looking for a place to do some work and eat breakfast, they only had toast with tomato and ham, several cake options (carrot, banana, etc) and I think thats about it. I spent 3 hours working and would definitely return but I would eat somewhere else first.

This was a cute little cafe that locals and tourists both go. I tried the strawberry toast which was incredible. I went here on my last day and wish I had gone earlier to try more food items. The coffee was excellent as well. Coming from Seattle, I love coffee so quality was important (we have more than just Starbucks here). I highly recommend!

Although the cafe is tiny, my friend and I managed to find a couple of spots to sit and enjoy some beverages during our trip to Madrid. They have a great coffee menu-- I opted for the cold brew and my friend chose an iced latte. Both were served in adorable metal cups. The cafe has a great ambiance and had a mix of people studying, reading, and hanging out. There's also a self-serve water station, which we appreciated greatly after our long flight. Would recommend!

Hello, soy latte!!! How I missed you! I searched all over Lisbon and Madrid to find a soy (or "soja") latte, and I only ever had luck in a Starbucks. How depressing. But thanks to Yelp, I found Toma Cafe, which was thankfully just right around the corner from my hotel. It's often described as "American," and I can see what they mean. If you're used to cool coffee shops in the hipster neighborhoods of your local city, you'll probably feel right at home here. It's filled with young people and has a lot of energy. The baristas spoke pretty great English, and were able to hook me up with an avocado toast without feta. I felt like I was in California! The coffee is great, very smooth, and they steamed the soy milk perfectly. They sometimes even have vegan pastries, though I never had the pleasure of being there when they did. Still, I love the effort to offer vegan-friendly coffee and grub in a city that seems to worship jamón.

This cafe is absolutely wonderful. The cappuccino is awesome, the space super relaxing, the service very friendly, and the baked treats all solid. The chocolate cake (not actually sure what type it was, maybe ganache?) was the standout, definitely a must try. We loved this place so much we came back later the same day for seconds.

This place lived up to the hype. Great knowledge staff regarding their beans and brands, delicious espresso and pretty cheap if you ask me. I paid 1,80 for a large flat white! The inside is large enough to sit down in and do some work or have a chat over coffee, they have a cool penguin statue hanging around to take pictures with. They also have water available if you just grab It yourself. Wifi is available free and works great, and the bathrooms are clean and have cool designs. They had some cakes and other sweets which looked amazing but sadly I was not hungry to try them:( maybe next time! The location is in the university area of Madrid, one of my favorites to walk around in, so it's easy to find somewhere to go before and after you grab your coffee. Overall I really loved this place, the ambiance Is very cool and the espresso an excellent value. I'll be back next time I'm in Madrid!

A whole lot of yes going on right here. Súper recomendado. Avocado toast on point with the perfect crunch and flavor combo of sweet, yet salty and tangy at the same time. (Avocado, strawberries, cream cheese, lime juice, and some seeds). Lattes were golden. Super smooth with non-bubbly froth. Chill atmosphere that can get packed at times. Free WiFi.

I had my first sip on coffee in Madrid at Toma yesterday. This Toma location is AMAZING because it just give good vibes. How do you judge a coffee place? Well, that's easy! First you order a Cortado, it's the perfect amount of espresso and milk that bad coffee can't hide behind. Second the baristas, how do they make you feel? Yesterday, I met Sam, an Australian fella, who works here and he was super cheerful and positive vibes. Also, he gave me 6 suggestions to places I should visit for coffee. For us coffee snobs it's about coffee and the experience. Coffee brings us people together :)

I came to this place awhile back when it had first opened. I haven't returned until yesterday and after grabbing a latte to go, I realized that was such a mistake! It's really time to ditch the Starbucks and instead head here for a coffee to-go that's better and way cheaper. If you're with a friend, they have some places to sit down but it's not the type of cafe you will want to hunker down in to log onto wifi and get some work done. Instead, it's better as a place to pop into and refuel with coffee and a snack (they have plenty of cookies, tarts and bread) then hit the streets again. The people working here are super friendly and will tell you anything you want to know about the coffee. They also have a stamp card so that your loyalty will be rewarded if you go enough!

Really disappointing experience. After spending nearly $20 on food and coffee, I was told I couldn't sit at one of six empty tables at the front because I had my laptop, even though all of the 'laptop tables' were full... the guy didn't seem to care that I had nowhere to sit. I then asked for a glass for water once I received my food as there were none left and the staff member look extremely inconvenienced to grab one for me. I also ordered my coffee extra hot and received it almost cold. Shame the staff are so unfriendly. Won't be recommending to anyone else.

A hip hole-in-the-wall cafe in Malasana. Food: I ordered an orange cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake. The carrot cake was kind of dry. I wouldn't order it again. The cappuccino on the other hand was good. They make the it with orange infused milk. The orange gave the cappuccino an interesting kick. My roommate ordered the chai latte and she said it was bomb. Space: We came to this cafe around 6 to study but it was crowded. Not that much seating but we manage to find some in the back. Come earlier to snag a table in the front by the windows. This place seems better for coffee dates with your friends rather than studying. Ambience: I love the music/ambience here. I need their playlist. I also appreciate the hip decor :)

Best coffee in Madrid. Cute shop located in the Malasaña neighborhood. We found it extremely difficult to find good coffee in Spain, mostly because we are spoiled by the incredible coffee in San Francisco (Blue Bottle, Four Barrel, etc). They select incredible single origin beans and roast them. The coffee was incredibly flavorful and fresh. When we visited, they were in the middle of remodeling their building...but they were still making incredible coffee drinks!! They even had gluten free pastries, which was a big bonus!! One of our visits we were pleasantly surprised with an Americano that tasted so much like an orange. It was the most incredible coffee my husband and I ever tasted in our lives!! Great job Toma Cafe!!! You guys are awesome! :)
