Great find!

We had a really lovely set menu here. It started with a cold or hot soup and there was then a choice of around 5 different courses for the second plate. We tried an asian food inspired peanut dish and a pesto pasta. Both were great and the set menu came with an ice tea.
Even though we were full we couldn't help but be tempted by the fantastic cake selection. We got chocolate with a salted fudge-like topping, a pistachio cheesecake and lemon and blueberry cake.
This is definitely a place to return to. Seating is good and the toilet was clean.

Pros: Cake selection , Main dishes, Set meu option

Fantastic place

Dale is a rare combination of specialty coffee shop with a cafe of mainly vegan offerings, and seems to be a continuation of the gone-but-not-forgotten La Colectiva, albeit with a much more extensive - but no less thoughtful - menu. The place has a neutral ambiance, which would seem vapid and trendy if the food and drink weren't so pleasing, or the high standards so apparent.

Prices for food items harken back to pre-covid times, and are decidedly good value for the quality and quantity that you get, which tends to be well-curated, well-presented toasts and sandwiches, overflowing and pleasing to the eye. Although they've added eggs to the menu, there is the vegan scramble as an alternative. It's not tofu but something more akin to JustEgg in the States. The bread is artisanal, sourdough type, and many of the dishes are a collision of high plate-art with comfort food, such as the grilled cheese with pickles, or the hummus with baked pumpkin and a hearty glug of olive oil.

We've been several times for an indulgent breakfast, and Dale has never disappointed, as specialty cafes (especially in the center) often do. You don't feel ripped off by even the higher value-added items, since it's filling and done up so tastily. They claim to pursue seasonality and variety with their menu, and seem very much to hold true to that.

It's on a quiet street off Tirso de Molina. Don't miss it!

Pros: Great coffee for under 3 euros

Cons: No A/C

Me encanta. Love it here.

Probé la tostada con queso de anacardos, habas y calabaza al horno y ufffff estaba tremenda.

LOVED This Vegan Cafe!!

Almost cried when I had their yogurt bowl. It felt like home 😭 The frosted pumpkin bread was delicious also. Best plant based milk latte in the city. Note that they only have oat milk for those lattes.

Pros: Popular , Vegan

Cons: Minimal seating

My #1 place in Madrid.

Went there probably 20 times. I just love it. Try their banana bread, their brownie and their avocado & tahini toast. Or try whatever you want, everything they have is delicious. Friendly Argentinian staff, nice vibes, good music and pet-friendly. The best place to be in Madrid.

DALE NIGHT

ZaEste fin de semana, por primera vez, el Dale Café ofreció la posibilidad de ir a cenar a su bar-restaurante.

Han anunciado que lo repetirán próximamente y que se podrá reservar. La verdad es que, atendiendo a la densidad de los platos, no me parece un precio excesivo.

Estaba todo riquísimo, incluido la bebida, y la atención fue fenomenal.

Pd. Si vas por el día, además de ser pet friendly, degustarás Un café magnífico con unos bizcochos, tostadas y sándwiches para llorar.

Recomendación de la carta: crema de alubia blanca, zanahorias asadas y mojo rojo.
Y para beber un Galbana 2022.

Actualizado junio de 2024: le volvería a dar cinco estrellas para meriendan o brubch.
Nosotros probamos el café con hielo y el café Raffaello y nos encantó.
Pd. El yogur de soja con granola, pasas, nueces, pipas, etc. es un manjar de dioses.

Kleines Café mit schönem Flair. Wir hatten ein Avocado Toast und Avocadosandwich. Der Kaffee war sehr lecker, aber der Geheimtipp dort ist die Golden Milk. Richtig gut!

Dale café

Local pequeñito y muy mono y el personal era muy amable. La tarta de ciruela personalmente no me convenció por sabor, en cambio la otra de plátano con crema de cacahuete estaba increíble.

————————————————

Very cute little place and the staff was very friendly. The plum tart personally did not convince me by taste, but the other one of banana with peanut butter was amazing.

Favorito de la ciudad

Sin duda uno de mis sitios favoritos en Madrid y diría que de los pocos veganos que ofrecen ingredientes de alta calidad y no te ponen medio trozo de aguacate. Todo cocinado con buen hacer (punto de las verduras), patés caseros, buenas mezclas de especias, repostería casera y personal majo. No hase falta que dise nada más 💕

Pros: Comida buenísima , Café de especialidad , Buena cantidad de comida/precio

Cozy and delicious

Their vegan food is excellent! From the portions to the tastes combinations. The use of flavors and spices is top: I had a ice oat chai and loved it. The staff is priceless: for their mistake, we got the wrong sandwich and could keep it for free together with the good one they finally made. Don't miss the sandwich with melting cheese, as it's REALLY melting 🤤

Pros: Various and delicious choice, Big portions , Friendly staff

Cons: Not much choice on cold drinks, Few tables, No soy milk, only oat and oat gluten free
