Lolina Vintage Cafe

I'm currently sitting in a very sweet cafe in Malasaña updating my blog. Nestled in a flowerbox-adorned corner on Calle Espíritu Santo, their décor is kitsch and the food and drink is delicious.

Reasonably priced, fresh food including an excellent Spanish Tortilla with salad, toasts with different toppings including goats cheese and cranberry and they also serve very good fruit juices. 

I also recommend trying the Frappuccino with a ball of coffee ice cream on top.  

This is one of my favourite places to come in Malasaña if I need a few quiet moments, with my laptop, doing work for university, or updating my blog.

This small bakery is a nice quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of nearby Gran Via. 

I've never tried Gluten free produce, but the outside of the Cake shop was so pretty I had to go in. 

We tried the strawberry cheesecake, which was lovely. Zingy strawberry, buttery crunch base, and bouncy cream cheese. 

The carrot cake and banoffee cake was also really nice, very moist and full of flavour. 

Usually I would expect to pay a higher price for such 'specialised' goods, but the prices are very reasonable here.
