Faraday - Madrid

Faraday is a specialty coffee shop and record café in Chueca, centered on coffee, vinyl, homemade cakes, and physical media. The room mixes record players, design objects, books, jewelry, and a mezzanine that looks over the café. Customer reviews focus on the flat white, Aeropress, cold brew, chai latte, matcha, carrot cake, lavender cake, banana cake, lemon cake, and chocolate cake. The café is better for reading, music, and conversation than laptop work. Reviews note the no-laptop policy, comfortable tables, friendly English-speaking staff, and records playing through the day. Rudi and Michelle appear often in customer comments, especially for their playlists, record selection, and personal service. Some guests return for the coffee; others stay for the music, cakes, and analog feel.
