Baya

Baya on José Abascal is Chamberí’s specialty-coffee-and-vino corner — bright brunch bowls, carefully pulled espresso, and a wine list the owner actually curated bottle by bottle. Expect healthy plates that still feel indulgent, cortados with proper crema, and a room that invites long Sunday linger sessions without tipping into precious third-wave chill. Locals treat Abascal 49 as a Gregorio Marañón neighbourhood ritual; visitors leave already recommending it after one Chamberí wander. Come early on weekdays for a calm flat white before the office rush, linger over brunch when the light hits, or swing by Sunday when wine and coffee share the table like old friends. Warm, simple, and proudly Baya — the Madrid tip for people who want specialty coffee with a real neighbourhood pulse.
