Located in the heart of Chamberí with a love for coffee and good vibes, Wilko opened in March 2022. Their specialty cheesecake, incredible peanut butter cookie, double choc peanut butter cookie, or lemon poppy cake paired with an iced latte are taking over the neighborhood.
But they offer more than just coffee, with breakfast dishes that will make your Sunday better there is no going wrong – cornbread with bacon, avocado, and maple syrup, sourdough toast with scrambled eggs, salmon, avocado, halloumi cheese, and candied tomatoes… the list goes on.

With plenty of vegan options available, and very fair-priced breakfast options ranging from 1,5 – 3 euros such as warm ham and cheese croissants, fresh sponge cakes, and a rich toast with tomato and olive oil, there is something for everyone to choose.
