El Perro de Pavlov is a tiny, charming café located at the entrance of La Latina, one of Madrid’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Known for its specialty coffee and delicious chai, it greets visitors with playful hand-drawn signs and witty recommendations. The space is small but inviting, perfect for a slow breakfast or an afternoon treat. Its menu may be short, but every item, from the locally sourced pastries to the savory toasts, is carefully chosen and consistently delightful.
Inside, you'll find a curated selection of cookbooks free to browse, creating a warm, creative atmosphere. Occasionally, the café hosts “shared kitchen nights” announced via Instagram, where regulars cook recipes from a featured book and gather to share food and stories. It’s more than a café, it’s a community hub for curious palates and open minds.
Surprisingly, every madrileño that tries its tomato toasts loves them. But if you pass by, at least to grab a coffee, tray to take a glance at its environment. It's simply unique.
