Quisqueya

a roaster operating out of arganzuela, which puts it slightly off the tourist circuit and fully in the kind of madrid that actually lives here. quisqueya sits on calle de voluntarios macabebes, a quiet address that most visitors won't stumble onto by accident, and that's partly the point. if you're making your way down there, you're going because someone told you to, because the word has spread through the city the way it does when a place is genuinely doing something right. roasting in-house means the coffee you're drinking hasn't been sitting in a warehouse, and in madrid's increasingly serious specialty scene, that distinction matters. go on a weekday morning, before the city fully wakes up.
