Viena Capellanes
Viena Capellanes is a café and bakery in Madrid known for fresh baked goods and traditional food. The space features simple furniture, wall decorations evoking history, and fills daily with the aroma of bread and pastries.
Founder Matías Lacasa opened the first Viena Capellanes in 1873, wanting to bring Viennese baking traditions to Madrid. Through its quality, the bakery became known to the royal family and grew to about ten locations by the 1930s.
The name reflects the Viennese bread tradition that a founder brought to Madrid in the 1800s. The space preserves this connection through its simple, welcoming style and the daily ritual of fresh baking.
The café is near Parque del Oeste and the Temple of Debod, making it a good spot for a break while exploring the area. The location sits at the corner of Luisa Fernanda and Juan Álvarez Mendizábal streets, accessible via public transport.
A founder learned about Viennese rolls at a fair and decided to make them in Madrid, bringing an entirely new baking style to the city. The concept was so novel at the time that it soon spread throughout Madrid.
