Saint Georges Cafe

Madrid


Javier and Zoë, a Spanish-Australian couple, named their cafe after St Georges Road in Zoë's native Melbourne, and the Aussie legacy doesn't end there. They brought with them single-origin coffee (flat-white or cortado?), avocado on toast served with feta and pomegranate, baked goodies and a commitment to healthy takeaway meals. It's a tiny brick-walled space, and a gorgeous, friendly spot.
