Qué lugar tan diferente y bonito. El café 10/10 y el espacio súper acogedor y agradable. Eso sí: si no toleras tanto el ruido, tal vez no sea tu lugar porque ponen música (no está exagerada, está en su punto, pero sí se escucha). Los chicos que atienden son muy agradables. El café es pequeño y casi siempre está full, así que si vas con un grupo grande probablemente te toque esperar un ratito.

Faraday Café tiene un diseño muy trabajado y moderno, con un ambiente amplio y luminoso que invita a quedarse. El espacio es fresco, cuidado al detalle y muy “Pinterest café”. El personal es joven, estiloso y transmite buen rollo, algo que suma bastante a la experiencia. El café está correcto, de nivel medio: no es malo, pero en Madrid hay opciones claramente mejores para los más cafeteros exigentes. La ubicación es uno de sus puntos fuertes, muy bien situada y fácil de incorporar a un paseo por la zona. En cuanto a la comida, la oferta de desayuno es bastante limitada: básicamente bizcochos y cookies. Por eso, no es un lugar adecuado para brunch, sino más bien para tomar un café tranquilo con algo dulce. Un sitio bonito, agradable y bien ubicado, ideal para trabajar un rato o quedar de forma informal, más por el ambiente que por la propuesta gastronómica.

El sitio es increíble con una música y un ambiente espectacular. El café y la infusión que tomé muy buenos y la torta de chocolate amargo, dulce de leche y coco una delicia. Atiende el mismo dueño lo cual me pareció lo mejor. Concepto, producto, atención y ambiente 10 de 10! Recomendadísimo

Faraday es un lugar muy especial atendido por sus dueños con un ambiente precioso que se ha ido construyendo a lo largo del tiempo con máxima atención a cada detalle: tanto la selección de mobiliario, objetos y la sección de disquería es exquisita. El café merece un comentario aparte: en nuestra experiencia particular nos ha educado, es sencillamente excelente. Visitamos el local en dos oportunidades que hemos viajado a Madrid y regresaríamos en cada oportunidad sin dudarlo. Muy recomendado.

This place is absolutely beautiful, I found it walking by and was immediately drawn to its atmosphere. It has an analogical soul and it’s very appreciative towards physical media, as shown by all of their vinyls, record players, coffee machines, etc! The tables are comfortable for you to come and read a book or talk to friends! and the interior design enamoured me⭐️ the people working here are also really nice! Just keep in mind they don’t allow laptops as this is a very lively atmosphere!! *Edit: Just tried their chai latte and it’s my favorite drink here so far! I recommend it 100% as it’s homemade

Very atmospheric place with good coffee. A lovely spot to slow down and enjoy the vibe.

This little hidden gem has that you just might bump into a rockstar, your next GF, or BF kind of vibe…. Throw one of the best carrot cakes in town and you have what I call a recipe for plenty of smiles😉

Great coffee shop in a less busy, hip part of the city. It was nice to be able to get fresh well prepared drip coffee and their espresso drinks were also solid. Great vibe, comfortable seating and delicious treats (had the vanilla lavender loaf).

Mariela

Love the interior, the vibes, the music and the matcha!! The barista was also lovely and I stayed there for hours reading 📖 I’ll definitely be back!

Jennifer Valverde

Excellent coffee and cakes! The staff was incredibly kind and friendly. It was my husband’s birthday and they played “happy birthday” as a song. Will definitely come back

Andreas Stylianou

Cute cafe and the girl at the bar was very friendly and spoke great english! The iced latte was also good. Overall a quiet place inside but beautiful

Nastya Koshko

Great coffee and pastry! Beautiful and cozy place.

Amy Burt

Very cool place in a lovely neighbourhood. Tasty coffee and matcha with house made baked goods! Such a cool space with vinyl on sale/ playing. The staff were lovely too! Great find

Alyssa Devlin

I call this my comfort cafe in Madrid! The vibe is amazing and comfortable and the staff are lovely! You must get the carrot cake!!

Jared Hatch

WOW. Tranquil and chill. The loft is a perfect little space to have a noon coffee, of which I paired mine with the lavender cake. Whoever put this space together deserves praise.

My favourite coffee shop (that also doubles as a record store) in Madrid, tucked hidden in Chueca. Awesome vibe and decor, I ended up overstay my visit. If you’re into people-watching like I do, be sure to visit the mezzanine, you’ll get a great view of the hustle and bustle of the cafe from above. Menu selections aren’t many, but instead curated to feature the very best. Try their coffee and chai latte (I gotta say this is the best chai latte I’ve had in Madrid). Friendly and attentive barista. At one point the cafe got overcrowded, but still he remained attentive, patient in serving all customers and still striking a genuine chat with us. Please give him a raise 😊

The ambiance, artsiness, great music and coziness. But even those excellent factors are secondary to the quality of their coffee. I’ve been ordering flat white these past months, visited different coffee shops; but nothing beats the one they prepare at Faraday. And their cakes… heavenly! Also, Mitchelle and Rodri are two of the realest and personable people I’ve met. 💪🏽

Great coffee, cool vibe, friendly staff speaks English. I love the pop art furnitures and deco. Definitely one of the best cafe to chill out in Madrid.

Faraday Art can be embodied in many forms. • • • While wandering around the capital city of Spain back in early 2018 I’d found myself lost in its beauty. Madrid’s buildings, museums, terraces, bars, and restaurants had consumed me to my core. But I knew that there was something more. A hidden realm within the cement buildings that surround the city. And there I was. Strolling down the streets of Chueca. A flashy and contemporary neighborhood located in one of the best areas of the capital. Out of nowhere, I came across San Luca’s street (#9). Immediately my eyes got locked into this big glass door. I couldn't believe what I was visualizing. It presented itself, like if I was contemplating a masterpiece of Gerad Richter (Gerad Richter Painting, 2012). Without hesitation, I decided to take a look inside. What I found was a shock to me, not only the BEST coffee in town but also a very carefully curated vinyl collection & a beautiful shelf full of one-of-a-kind jewelry and art, also carefully curated. These artists knew what they’d built. It was art in motion. • • • An artist can create such a visual experience that the spectators will dive in into such realm unconsciously, without any knowledge, and still get the best of it. There’s something mystic about coffee shops. Thanks, @carettix & @balietti.m Your creation is heaven on earth.

Very nice and chill cozy place off the Chueca metro exit. Always relaxing staff and nice place to meet friends for coffee. They have their own craft beer that is delicious. Very nice set up, cozy, and great place to stop into whenever they are open. It’s always full. Nice coffee shop/record store.

This place is great. The space is really relaxing, with excellent music to keep you calm and happy. The coffee was superb - I had an Aeropress, but espresso coffees and tea looked to be available too. The staff were chatty and welcoming. I didn't explore much, but the emphasis is on the space, and you can buy items too (records, jewellery, books etc). It's well worth a visit.

This place is amazing. I love it here. We randomly found this shop walking to the Prado. Such a great vibe. We met the owners, Rudi and Michelle, and they are very accommodating. Don't expect to get a frappucccino or smoothie, but if you want delicious coffee prepared by people who are passionate about their shop and what they do, you've found it.

Great atmosphere with cool music and midcentury furniture. Have a nice coffee with homemade bakery while enjoying a peaceful day in Madrid.

Bonito lugar para tomar un café. Pedi un cold brew y estuvo bueno. La atención es fenomenal y la decoración del lugar es muy llamativa.

Espacio agradable para merendar. Cuando esta muy lleno es demasiado ruidoso. Excelente selección de vinilos. Muy amables. Mesas compartidas.

Faraday es una de mis cafeterías favoritas de Madrid. Suelo ir tanto con mi pareja como con amigos y siempre me encanta. Cuando tengo la garganta un poco mal, me preparan un chai buenísimo que me sienta de maravilla, y además tienen unos bizcochos caseros impresionantes. El local es muy, muy pequeño, pero precisamente por eso resulta súper acogedor; además, siempre he tenido la suerte de encontrar una mesita libre. Y si no, tienen opción para llevar, que mucha gente aprovecha. Un sitio al que siempre apetece volver.

What a mid century dream! Loved the interior, the staff was very sweet. I had the lemon-lavender-pound cake, which was lovely. The Sencha Tea wasn‘t the best though, so it’s either low quality or it was left to infuse in the water for too long. 8€ for a cake and a tea in this beautiful atmosphere is a great deal IMO. Overall a great experience, would love to come back!

Segunda vez en ir, esta vez quería probar el café y tampoco ha sido de los mejores (siendo que a diario pruebo cafeterías de especialidad y trabajo con una marca de café) pero lo peor fue que prácticamente a mi acompañante y a mi nos echaron. Nos pedimos un café cada uno, y es verdad que quizá estuvimos más tiempo del normal(ya sin darnos cuenta) más de una hora y nos vino a decir que si tomábamos algo más o que teníamos que desocupar la mesa porque siempre suele haber gente esperando (en ese momento no había nadie esperando por mesa) he ido a cafeterías con mucha más afluencia y jamás me echaron así de una, y quedándose ahí sin decirnos algo menos tipo tomaros vuestro tiempo pero tenerlo en cuenta o algo así, pero no, fue súper incómodo, y los comentarios del dueño con respecto a otras cosas como que al menos me hubiera tomado un agua (de la misma marca que yo llevaba en el bolso) que al menos eso, pues nosotros flipando. Desde luego el sitio es ideal, pero el dueño o responsable o quien fuera, súper feo, nos sentimos muy incómodos y NO lo recomiendo por más bonito que sea el sitio. Si vais, pediros continuamente algo de beber o iros rápido, si no ni os molestéis. Tampoco recomiendo el sitio para tener una conversación, por la forma del lugar todo abierto es complicado escuchar a la gente, mucho ruido.

The nice ambience of this set up does not compensate the usual wait of 5+ minutes to get a coffee that tastes like…water (seriously, I had to run elsewhere to get another coffee) or the poor and lous…

Estuve hoy con unes amigues y el dueño se ha comportado de una forma super desagradable por el hecho de que dos de nosotres (éramos 5 personas) no hubiéramos pedido café. Se ha comportado de manera muy pasivo-agresiva, con mucha condescendencia (nos ha llegado a soltar ante nuestra sorpresa al ver el espectáculo que quitáramos nuestras caras de póker), por lo que hemos decidido irnos, a lo que nos ha seguido pidiéndonos que no escribiéramos en una reseña lo sucedido. No volveríamos ni aunque nos pagasen por tomar su café. Una verdadera pena por que el café estaba muy bueno y el espacio es precioso, pero no volveremos.

Tres de cinco personas pedimos café para tomarlo en unos 15 minutos después de una comida. En ningún momento se nos informó de ningún requisito de consumición obligatoria al entrar al local. A los diez minutos, el propietario se acerca y nos indica, “de buena onda”, que es domingo y que deberíamos consumir. Continúa hablando y genera una situación muy incómoda en todo el local. Sus trabajadores nos miraban pidiendo disculpas. Sin protestar, nos levantamos, pagamos los cafés y liberamos la mesa. Cinco minutos después, el propietario reaparece fuera para insistir y pedir, sobre todo, que no escribamos malas reseñas. Es importante dejar claras las condiciones del local a los consumidores. No generar situaciones como la vivida ayer evitará futuras malas reseñas.

I came with my family and my wife took one coffee, me and my mom didn't take anything. The owner suggested we sit at a table upstairs because there was room for three. After we got to the top he started shouting at the whole restaurant that it was wrong that we ordered only one coffee.... I told him that I didn't want to order anything but he said that I was rude... Then I asked him if there are rules of visiting the restaurant where it is stated that any visitor is obliged to buy something, he answered that there are no such rules. Why did he call us to the second floor to start yelling at the whole restaurant? Why doesn't he ask me and my mom in case we don't order anything to leave the restaurant before we go to the second floor ? (I could understand that.) Strange aggressive behavior without reason. After all his yelling, my wife quickly finished her coffee and we started to leave. The owner of the restaurant told her that she could take her time and stay and the company (i.e. me and my mom) should leave since we didn't order anything and we are bad customers.... I don't understand is this a way to attract customers? Honestly I didn't expect this from a place with such a beautiful design and possibly delicious coffee that we might try next time. In general, the conclusion is this, if you came with a friend in a cafe and he ordered a coffee and you did not, you can be yelled at and blamed. I also noticed how the owner responds to all the negative reviews, and notice they are all related to his behavior! I think this whole thing hints that he needs the help of a psychology expert 🤝
