In an era where traditional markets are evolving, trading classic food stalls for quaint eateries and coffee spots, Cafés Tornasol emerges as a shining example within the Antón Martín Market transformation.
At first glance, Cafés Tornasol might blend in with the typical specialty coffee landscape. Dominating its compact space is the impressive La Marzocco coffee machine, complemented by an array of diverse coffee origins and an inviting spread of cakes, sponge cakes, and cinnamon rolls. But delve a bit deeper, and you’ll find that Cafés Tornasol is anything but ordinary.
Beyond the sweet delights, their savory offerings are where they truly shine. Because man cannot live by sweet alone, they also offer savory breakfast options that tend to be my favorite every time I visit; the menu is an eclectic masterpiece. When it comes to starting the day right, the Jacinto breakfast with its delectable eggs Benedict is my go-to. But for those lazy weekend mornings, the Breakfast Special is a gastronomic journey in itself. Picture this: homemade granola, freshly squeezed orange juice, those irresistible eggs Benedict, and a slice of cake to seal the deal. And if you’re in the mood for a little indulgence, a splash of cava or natural wine is just a few euros away.
Speaking of coffee, they always have a variety of specialty coffees that you can try, from different regions and each with its own unique notes. They also sell these coffees and will gladly grind them for you.
