The first time you go through the front door of the number 26 of Hermosilla Street, the last thing you'd expect is a Parisian yard. This romantic and secret garden is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Madrid: "El barrio Salamanca".

Brownie is a Mediterranean fashion brand that opened this lovely coffee shop, partnering with the specialty coffee specialists of Hola Coffee.
On the ground floor, you can find the fashion store and on the first floor, the coffee shop with drinks and bakery options. You can find seats on the outdoor terrace or indoors if the weather is not welcoming.
This hidden and quiet garden is my go-to place to take a break when I'm shopping around, to disconnect from the city noise for a while.
