Background

About Café Astral

The Story

Café Astral has been in Carabanchel since 1989, and it leads with its coffee: a house blend of 100% arabica from different origins, roasted for an aromatic, sweet cup with notes of cocoa, sold by the bag and by subscription as well as poured at the counter. It pitches itself as the fix for anyone tired of a mediocre cup. Alongside the café runs a Mediterranean comfort-food kitchen whose truffled huevos estrellados have become the most-ordered, most-photographed plate on the menu.

The Cuisine

A café-restaurant that runs specialty coffee next to Mediterranean comfort cooking. The signature huevos estrellados trufados layer hand-cut agria potatoes and free-range eggs fried in olive oil under black truffle pearls and white truffle oil.

Experience

Café Astral Dining Experience

Cosy and built for talking, with warm, efficient service and a comfort-food streak. There's a terrace, cocktails and vegetarian options, and it works as a morning coffee stop as much as a sit-down meal.
