Bohemia Jazz Café
Quirky decorations and live jazz or piano music create a nostalgic and cozy atmosphere where a cup of joe is meant to be savored, not rushed. A diverse menu features desserts, cocktails, mocktails, and a long list of spiked coffee drinks with a variety of potent liqueurs.

Malamiga
Come here for some of the best artisan breads and pastries you’ll find in Granada, and must-try croissants with a range of mouth-watering fillings. Watch bakers work the dough through a largewindow, or stay for a cup of coffee in the new, adjacent dining room.

Los Italianos
When locals think of ice cream, they think of Los Italianos. This grand and iconic establishment opened in 1939 and serves dozens of ice cream flavors and other frozen confections. Skip the lines that stretch down Gran Via and grab a table in the alley by the back entrance. Having served millions of scoops in the summer, Los Italianos regrettably hibernate during the winter months.
| Calle Gran Vía de Colón, 4
La Finca Coffee
This specialty coffee shop in a narrow passageway near the Cathedral always draws a crowd. Come for a java or chai latte, and stay for the sweet and sticky cinnamon buns, creamy cheesecakes, artisanal toast, or fresh granola bowl.

Magia Arábica
Don’t let the size fool you at this hole-inthe-wall shop just off Plaza Bib Rambla. The coffee is brewed from 100% Arabica beans that are sustainably sourced in faraway lands and roasted in Madrid. This magical place well deserves its 4.9-star Google rating.
