Brunch in Madrid is largely the work of its specialty-coffee crowd, clustered around Malasana and Chamberi. Federal Cafe on the Plaza de las Comendadoras and Ojala in Malasana set the all-day tone, while Toma Cafe and HanSo Cafe pair serious coffee with breakfast plates. Mision Cafe and its sister Panaderia Mision in Chamberi anchor the weekend table further north.
Ojala in Madrid's Malasana is the daytime brunch and evening cocktail bar with the basement Ojala Beach (sand floor and palm trees), serving brunch plates.
