Housed in the historic Old Linden Hotel, The Whippet has built a 13-year reputation as a neighbourhood anchor, with coffee sourced and roasted by an all-female team and a food menu strong enough to draw weekend brunch queues. It was voted one of the Top 100 Best Coffee Shops in the World at the 2025 Madrid ceremony. Genuinely dog-friendly, with a leafy courtyard.
