Celicioso

Chueca


Gluten-free options are rare in Madrid, but Celicioso makes up for that lack with its selection of coeliac-friendly pastries. You can grab a table and stick around for breakfast, coffee or brunch and enjoy the quiet interior, or take a few cupcakes to go. It even has gluten-free lasagna, as well as sugar- and egg-free options.
