Specialty coffee went from belonging to a niche club of coffee lovers to a whole subculture that revolves around this beverage, inhabited by an infinite community of roasters, coffee growers or devotees of mocha and natural flavors.

This type of coffee -with more than 80 points out of 100 according to professional tasters-, which arrived in Spain about a decade ago, with all its floral or citrus notes, is usually served in spaces surrounded by art, music and beauty, and/or in places that dance between modernism, Nordic inspiration and art deco. Discover some of our favorite specialty coffee shops in the capital.

GOD CAFÉ

God Café was installed at the end of 2022 in Chamberí, and, in just a few months, it has already become one of the trendiest coffee shops in the capital, established on two floors, with high ceilings and a dreamlike interior design surrounded by plants and designer furniture.

Inside this place, where they also host exhibitions or pop-ups, they have a great variety of coffees of origin that they accompany with dj sets in the background, peanut butter toasts, banana, chocolate or avocado, as well as with a whole display of Vanilla Bakery sweets that have just elevated this divinized space.

ACID CAFÉ

Acid Café is the industrially inspired project of Fede Graciano and Shasha Zavgorodniaia, designed by Futuro Studio, specialized in this stimulating beverage. Specifically, in the Danish coffee La Cabra Coffe Roasters, and in all its magical formulas with which they generate multiple experiences through coffee.
