AMBU Pez is the original cafe, opened in October 2021 on Calle del Pez in Malasaña, north of Gran Vía. The compact room serves espresso, filter and breakfast, with retail beans to take home. It is one of three cafes on AMBU's current branch list, alongside Núñez de Balboa and Las Huertas.
Coffee
AMBU serves espresso, flat whites, batch brew, filter, cold brew and decaf. The coffee selection changes; staff can explain the options. Its Coffee School also runs workshops in espresso, filter and sensory skills.
Food
The Pez café serves breakfast plates, grilled sandwiches, pan con tomate, avocado toast and pastries. Order at the counter. Its menu is larger than the food selection at the former San Bartolomé tasting bar.
Service & Room
Pez is a small Malasaña cafe with closely spaced seating. A weekday coffee and a short working session may fit, but a free table is less certain at breakfast. Come early if you want to sit; takeaway is the simpler option when the room fills.
