Chocolatería San Ginés

The Chocolatería San Ginés is a café at Pasadizo de San Ginés, 5, in central Madrid, in a passageway close to San Ginés church, west of the Puerta del Sol.[1] It has served principally chocolate con churros (hot chocolate and churros) since 1894. Coffee and cakes are also available.

International branches

There are currently branches in Marbella, Spain;[2] in Cais do Sodré in Lisbon, Portugal;[3] and in Austin, Texas and Miami Beach, Florida, in the United States,[4] and in the Mercado de los Carruajes in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[5]

There were 3 locations in Mexico City on Parque España in Colonia Condesa, the Historic Center of Mexico City and in Lomas de Chapultepec.[6] However these are closed as of 2025.[7][8]

In 2010, a San Ginés's branch was opened in Shibuya, Tokyo (Japan).[1] It closed one year later, in 2011.

This cafe has been mentioned in multiple literary works, including Los Episodios OkNacionales by Benito Pérez Galdós and Luces de Bohemia by Valle Inclán.[1]
