Bite Me

Tucked away in Madrid’s vibrant Embajadores neighborhood, Bite Me stands as a rare gem for plant-based breakfast lovers. This cozy spot wears many hats—part bakery, part donut shop, part coffee bar, and part breakfast cafe—all wrapped into one charming package that proves vegan food can be anything but boring.

The star attraction here is their signature “Halos,” inventive vegan donuts that push the boundaries of what plant-based pastries can be. These aren’t your standard glazed rings—each Halo comes generously stuffed with creative fillings ranging from tangy grapefruit curd to delicate floral cream, with rotating flavors like Oreo, carrot cake, and strawberry compote making regular appearances. For those seeking something more substantial, the savory breakfast bagels packed with tofu scramble, vegan egg, and all the fixings deliver serious satisfaction.

The space itself is intimate with limited indoor seating, but the real magic happens on the front patio where you can people-watch as the diverse neighborhood—from elderly locals to students and young professionals—goes about its morning routine. It’s an ideal spot to linger over coffee and a pastry while soaking in authentic Madrid atmosphere.

Whether you’re a committed vegan, exploring a plant-based lifestyle, or simply curious about creative morning fare, Bite Me offers a welcoming entry point. The gluten-free options using rice tapioca bread make it even more accessible. Come hungry, leave happy, and maybe grab an extra Halo for the road.
