Finding cafés to work in Madrid in good company (but with enough tranquility to concentrate) is an extra task for those who are looking for an ideal workplace in the capital. In addition, it must be taken into account that teleworking is not allowed in any cafeteria and that those that do, usually set conditions on schedules, days and areas.
1. Arce Sisters
The Arce Sisters, Elena and Ana, have achieved a balance between cafeteria and restaurant that is difficult to find. A Nordic touch, French spirit and Mediterranean cuisine in which everything is made, from bread to cakes. You are allowed to work at all tables with a drink, although their communal table is more suitable if you go alone and you can also get inspired by the magazines in the center. They close at 5.30 p.m. and serve meals from 1.30 p.m. so the best time to work is in the morning.
📍Location:Calle Marqués de Monasterio, 6 (Justicia)
👩💻 Tuesday to Saturday mornings.
2. Religion Coffee
Religion Coffee is one of the best options in Madrid to telecommute while enjoying an excellent coffee. The place in María de Molina street has large tables, plugs and free Wi-Fi, ideal for long working days. It is recommended to visit in the morning or after 16:00 to avoid the busiest hours. Its other space in Príncipe de Vergara is small and oriented to take away.
In addition, this cafeteria has a varied menu that includes healthy and vegan options. Among its highlights are the Turkish eggs, avocado toast and the açaí bowl, as well as desserts such as vegan sponge cake or chocolate cake.
📍Location: Calle María de Molina, 24, (Salamanca) and Calle del Príncipe de Vergara, 16 (Salamanca).
👩💻 Opening hours: Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 7 pm.
3. Misión Café
Misión Café is a specialty coffee shop that is common to see on Instagram for the quality of its product and how aesthetic the space is. They have their own bakery, so there’s always a good excuse to go try their bread and pastries. The areas for laptop use are the bleachers and the bar, where there are also sockets to charge computers.
📍Location: calle de los Reyes, 5 (Noviciado)
👩💻 From Monday to Thursday in specific areas of the cafeteria.
4. Urraca Café
This area of Puerta del Ángel, around the Tirso de Molina market, is undergoing a complete transformation. One of the premises that has been part of the change is Urraca Café. A large space where there is enough distance between tables to be able to focus on what concerns us, and of course, a perfect place for breakfast and snacks in the meantime.
📍Location: Calle de Doña Urraca, 18 (Puerta del Ángel)
👩💻 Every day.
5. En Bruto
En Bruto is a multidisciplinary space that combines cafeteria, workshop, cooking school, co-working, gastronomic and event space. There are both large tables where you can enjoy a coffee and snacks while you focus on the project that has brought you here, as well as some low tables with armchairs if you need a break between meetings.
📍Location:Calle de San Lucas, 13 (Chueca)
👩💻 Every day at specific laptop tables.
Whether it is a cafeteria to study or a place to telework away from home, these spaces have adapted to the circumstances and are already part of the landscape of meetings and reading hours for all those to whom the noise of a coffee machine or lively conversations are not a nuisance but an incentive.
