Background

About Pan y Pepinillos

The Story

Pan y Pepinillos was opened as the kind of coffee shop its founders wanted to visit: specialty coffee taken seriously, without taking itself too seriously. The name, bread and pickles, is a small wink at an unexpected pairing done with care. The room is small and Japandi-inspired, with a no-laptops rule kept from the start.

The Cuisine

Single-origin specialty coffee from rotating European and Spanish roasters, never blends, with espresso, flat white, cortado, batch brew and V60. The kitchen does honest breakfast and brunch, avocado toast, scrambled-egg tostadas and sweet brioches, plus pastries from Madrid bakers and signature pistachio and matcha lattes.

How to Book Pan y Pepinillos

Experience

Pan y Pepinillos Dining Experience

Small and intentional, with a calm, Japandi-inspired interior and a window bench outside for warm afternoons. No laptops, by design; it's built for coffee, conversation and a slow pastry rather than remote work. No reservations, just walk in.

Getting There

On Calle de El Escorial in Malasaña, part of Madrid's central Centro district. The cafe names Tribunal as its nearest metro.

Nearby

Malasaña is where the city keeps its energy, a tight web of streets that turns over fast and stays up late. The eating is young and restless, with vegan kitchens, coffee bars and creative rooms wedged between places that have not changed in decades. It runs down to Gran Vía, and it rewards walking without a plan.
