Espectacular. El mejor sitio para desayunar en Madrid. Acogedor, limpio y tranquilo. Fuimos un domingo por la mañana y las personas que nos atendieron eran super eficientes y todos fueron encantadores. La comida impresionante y deliciosa, siento que mis fotos no le hacen justicia. Merece muchísimo la pena.

Es un poco caro para un desayuno, eso es cierto. Que una tostada cueste 10 euros es algo que parece que estamos normalizando y jamás había sido así, a pesar de estar en el centro de Madrid. El local es precioso y muy amplio, y justo hoy que hacía sol se estaba genial. La tostada, aunque cara, estaba increíble. El guacamole tenía su toque justo de cilantro y no le pongo ninguna queja. El chai late también estaba muy bueno, pero todo en general un poquito caro. Estaba lleno de extranjeros, lo cual también dice mucho. Volvería sin duda, cuando cobre.

Sitio top para un buen Brunch. Son famosos los huevos benedictinos pero sinceramente creo que todo lo de la carta está buenísimo! Recomiendo el sándwich de pan brioche y el bowl de açaí estaban muy ricos. El espacio también es muy bonito y pet friendly. Muy recomendable!

I love this place! The coffee is fantastic, the food is incredible, and the café has great light and ambiance for anyone who needs a nice space to work (designated work tables for laptop use).

Federal Café offers one of the best brunch experiences I’ve had. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, with plenty of natural light and modern décor that makes you want to stay longer. I ordered the eggs benedict with smoked salmon — perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise sauce, and fresh salmon that melted in the mouth. The flat white was smooth, creamy, and beautifully balanced — exactly how a specialty coffee should taste. The staff were friendly and attentive, and everything was served quickly and presented beautifully. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys great coffee, quality breakfast, and a relaxed vibe.

It was delicious! I would 10/10 recommend coming here for a late brunch. We arrived around 3pm and had the best meal! Enjoy!

Stopped for breakfast and had a croissant and an ice coffee, thought both were delicious and very well priced. Sat outside on a small square which was very calm even so early in the morning. Would recommend

My kind of breakfast menu! From delicious and healthy drinks and coffee to fantastic food options! I love the outdoor seating and inside people are working inside! A favorite! Great service, just lovely.

The gluten free bread is delicious! I ordered the guacamole, burrata, tomato, salmon toast and I highly recommended it 10/10. Great vibes for solo or group meals, co-working, laptop friendly and vibe

James Auman

Perfect spot to have a sangria or a smoothie. Pet friendly owner also super human friendly. Lots of dogs came by to say hi. Cool window sill seats let you get the best of inside and outside seating at the same time.

The food was spectacular. We ordered the salmon pancakes and the eggs Benedict, and it was simply a delight to the paladar, the combination of the flavours in the pancakes with salmon, creme Fraiche and truffle honey is out of this world. Both the matcha latte and the flat white were delicious. The atmosphere is very nice and quiet. However, it took us 10 minutes to get seated as it often gets crowded.

Cute restaurant on a quiet residential square with tables outside, right in front of a playground. Super welcoming to families, efficient service, delicious food and coffee. If I lived in Madrid, I’d come here several times a week!

A very cozy spot, perfect for breakfast, and they likely serve alcoholic beverages as well. Many customers were there with their laptops, working on their projects. While I didn’t use the internet, I believe they offer Wi-Fi. I ordered toast with salmon, toast with egg, mushroom and avocado, iced orange coffee, Cappuccino, and fresh orange juice. The food was delicious, and the juice tasted really fresh.

The best brunch in Madrid with delicious food and lovely & helpful staff! Everything is nice and prices are really reasonable given it’s been on the map for years! Great job 👍

Millie

My favorite brunch in Madrid! Went there in May and absolutely loved the food (especially the pancakes) and the atmosphere. Take your time, the service is slow but the staff is lovely.

Eduardo Pagliere

Initial service is slow but friendly. Come here with time and you will get your reward. We did the Reuben sandwich and Salmon Benedict + avocado - both fantastic. Coffee options were great - I had an Americano and wifey got something a bit more eclectic.

Great breakfast! We had a bit of everything between my family; eggs, açaí bowl, cinnamon roll and pancakes. Everything was great and service was fast.

Stopped in for coffee and breakfast and had a great experience. The cafe has lots of tables, the staff were very friendly and the food and coffee were lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Vinimos un grupo de 6 personas un domingo. Pedimos varios platos, todos buenos en general. Lo malo fue la espera de 30 minutos para el café y zumos, y 50 minutos para la comida.

El sitio está bien y la comida y el servicio son buenos. Vine un fin de semana y no dejaban portátiles en mesas (no me parece mal, solo lo recalco) pero parecía un sitio estupendo para trabajar un poco entre semana. L tostada de salmón con aguacate estaba muy rica, si bien un pelín escasa.

El sitio invita a tomar un desayuno. Y estaba buenísimo. Además, el local es muy tranquilo y se puede trabajar. Mi única pega es el cómo hemos podido llegar a asimilar casi 13 euros por un café y unas tostadas (con algo más de elaboración, claro está). De nuevo, es insoportable lo de los precios en Madrid.

Tardaron mucho en servirnos el desayuno.. estaba todo riquísimo pero el precio un poco elevado en mi opinión :)

Food was tasty. Servers were very helpful and attentive. Location wasn’t bad.

E. Maloney

It was a little pricey. We had a very long wait. We ordered 3 different breakfasts, 2 arrived first with another 10 minute wait for the 3rd. Some items were not on the plates and they were dropped to our table halfway through the breakfast. They didn't like that we were paying in cash which caused some issues at the checkout.

Fatima Alshammari

The food was ok actually not wow. But the coffee was really good🤍. We had avocado with hummus on toast we added an egg, the eggs would be good if they were scrambled the usual way. I had coconut chia pudding wasn’t good tbh the taste wasn’t it even the toppings could be better. The food is average, it’s a place you can go if you want just to have normal food without high expectations.

Matthew Kershner

The food was great but it seemed to me like they could use an extra staff member or two. The staff was just so busy, constantly moving from place to place trying to take care of guests that there really just wasn’t enough help to go around. We waited ~10 minutes before someone would speak to us about being seated. Several staff members saw us and walked past multiple times while we stood there and began to question if the “please wait to be seated” sign was just a suggestion. I would still recommend stopping by, but not if you are on a tight schedule.

Portions are small, the eggs had to be sent back as they were cold, but when it was served as it should be, it was delicious. Service was fine, but not particularly friendly

El sitio está bonito por dentro, los camareros son amables y simpáticos, pero había bastante gente y el servicio fue un poco lento. Además, con los precios se pasan bastante, mi acompañante pidió un brownie y le pusieron un trozo pequeñísimo. Luego vimos que había porciones enteras (bastante más caras, claro), pero se podría avisar de las opciones. Por otro lado, el café, el croissant y el brownie estaban muy buenos, así que mereció la pena todo. No sé si volvería, pero no estuvo mal.

Fuimos ayer con unos amigos, pedimos café y una bebida que combinaba jugos de fruta. Ya al momento de pedir, notamos una actitud un poco grosera de quien nos tomó el pedido pero no le hicimos caso. Trajeron todo lo pedido salvo mi bebida . Esperamos 15 minutos más mientras todos tomaban sus cafés para que no se enfríen y llamamos a una camarera para preguntar por el jugo, a los dos minutos regresa y me explica que no me lo habían traído porque no había uno de los jugos que lleva la bebida, es decir, sin que nadie me avise, mi bebida nunca llegaría….. terminé pidiendo jugo de naranja que era lo único que tenían. También pedimos un cheesecake de pistacho que no lo pediría mas, la textura del queso arenosa, sobrecocida, y la crema de “pistacho” no sabía a nada. Cuando pedimos la cuenta, el mismo camarero que tomó el pedido, nuevamente de mala forma y sin mirarnos siquiera, dice que tenemos que pararnos e ir a la caja. Una decepción, deben tener productos buenos, pero dada la pésima atención no volveríamos.

Muy mejorable la velocidad y la calidad del servicio de este restaurante (mi pareja y yo ya tuvimos un problema con el ticket otra vez y quise darle una 2a oportunidad al sitio). Una pena porque me viene bastante bien su ubicación, el ambiente es muy bueno y la comida está bastante bien, pero es que el servicio… quita las ganas de ir.

We stumbled upon this cafe after getting cinnamon rolls from another place. We decided to order breakfast and let our kids play in the nearby park. The waitress came and said we can’t bring outside food, I told her we are ordering food here too. She made us feel unwelcome and reluctantly took our order. They should support other local businesses and if someone is ordering something, I don’t see the problem. We always leave a great tip, none was left today. Food was good, nearby park for kids is great, customer service was bad.

I had a really disappointing experience here because of how incredibly rude one of the Italian staff was. While I was waiting for my food, I briefly opened my laptop and was told it wasn’t allowed.…

We heard it was a good place to eat so as foreigners visiting we decided to try. Arrived there at 12:40 roughly got seated and there the drama began, the waiters seemed like they didn’t like their jobs and didn’t want to be there, the shorter waitress and shorter waiter attended to us , the waiter got the order which was two croissants with scrambled eggs plus toast and avocado. Now on a normal occasion I won’t suspect anything If The food takes a bit of time but it was unusual this time. The waitress brought one croissant which was cold and we told her we wanted two and wanted them hot, as soon as she heard that her demeanor towards us changed which was odd because all we did was just request what we ordered for. She went back to the counter where the other waiter who messed up the order was laughing. When he understood he messed the order up, I found that very strange because how inconsiderate can that be. After this we noticed there was a deliberate action not to bring our food early. Because we saw two other tables whom arrived after us did get served before us and worse finish there food, We ended up getting served at 13:25 Almost an hour after arrival and I mean it’s just breakfast but the crazy part was here. You see in the pictures, we clearly said we wanted warm croissants and not burnt. The eggs and toast were cold which means It was kept for a while,The avocado was rotten and their explanation was it was close to bone. Needless to say after waiting close to one hour for our food we lost appetite, we didn’t want to get into any fights or arguments because the whole service was poor and honestly not worth it. We ended up paying and left without eating the food. And God knows you would not pay me money to go back there. You can go there to eat but just be prepared to get into arguments if you get unlucky with the servers. We were there on the 29th of may at 10:00 My opinion is the waiters really need to be replaced or something *ATTENTION DONT WASTE 60 EUROS LIKE WE DID BETTER NOT TO GO*
