By neighbourhood

Nobody wants 199 places at once. Here is Madrid split into the districts we have read, plus the places that stay open into the evening.

What makes a cafe worth the walk

Every place on this page was read from its reviews rather than from a press kit: whether the Wi-Fi holds a call, whether there is a socket near a table, whether anybody minds you staying past the second coffee.

  • Wi-Fi that holds a video call
  • Sockets you can actually reach
  • A table you can open a laptop on
  • Noise you can think through
  • Coffee worth a second cup
  • Nobody counting the minutes

Best cities in Europe to work from cafes

Working from cafes in Madrid, answered

How many cafes in Madrid are good for working on a laptop?
44 of the 71 places in Madrid whose reviews say anything about laptops are somewhere you can settle in and work. The other 128 of the 199 we hold are unjudged rather than unwelcoming: nobody who wrote about them mentioned it either way. What we look for is a table you can open a laptop on, a socket within reach and nobody counting the minutes.
Which cafes in Madrid have fast Wi-Fi?
Of the 40 places in Madrid whose Wi-Fi we could judge, 26 hold a video call. The connection is read from what people who sat there wrote, not from what the cafe claims, so a place with no reviews about its Wi-Fi is left out rather than guessed at. The "Fast Wi-Fi" filter on this page shows only those 26.
Can you work all day from a cafe in Madrid?
Yes, in 44 of the 71 judged places in Madrid, where staying past the second coffee is normal rather than tolerated. 116 of the 199 cafes we hold are still open at 9pm or later, so a long day does not have to end mid-afternoon. Kitchens usually stop serving well before closing, so order before the last hour rather than after it.
Are there cafes open late in Madrid?
116 of the 199 cafes we hold in Madrid are open at 9pm or later on at least one day of the week. One of them never closes at all. Closing times come from each venue's own opening hours rather than an estimate, so a place that shuts at 8:30pm is not on the list.
Is Madrid a good city for working from cafes?
Madrid averages 3.1 out of 5 across 199 places, which puts it in the middle of the pack of the 14 cities we cover. Canggu leads on 3.9. The spread between cities is narrower than the spread between two cafes on the same street, so the city rarely decides your day: the choice of place does.
