La Bicicleta Café

A cycling-themed café that became a Malasaña institution — a workspace-friendly format on lively Plaza San Ildefonso that draws creatives and freelancers. Order espresso drinks and batch brew; the big tables suit working, and there are good brunch options. Come mid-morning through afternoon for working, with the lively plaza location and outdoor seating in good weather. It is a Malasaña institution — a cycling-themed café whose big tables and easy atmosphere made it the neighbourhood's creative workspace, on its central square. For coffee, brunch, and a laptop-friendly base in the heart of Malasaña, among the freelancers and creatives who've adopted it, it's the established neighbourhood anchor.
