Some time ago, I saw some videos on TikTok where groups of friends enjoyed painting ceramics while having coffee and sharing a good time together. Being new in the city, I didn't have anyone to go with, but as a lover of art and such plans, I couldn't resist the idea of not going. When I finally arrived at the place, the staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to make me feel comfortable. So much so that I was assigned a group of girls my age with whom I shared the experience.

Today, I can happily say they are my best friends in Madrid. So today I come to recommend Mama Pottery Café, because besides being a great plan, its venue has a visually aesthetic that you will love, perfect for taking great photos. Plus, their prices are incredibly affordable! You can enjoy the experience for around €20-€30 per person.

If you're looking for a place where books, cakes, and the opportunity to make new friends come together in an instagrammable spot, this is the perfect place for you!It was here that I had the pleasure of meeting who would become my best friend in Madrid. Since then, this place has become our favorite spot to chat about our lives while enjoying a good coffee and diving into the company of a good book.

I could definitely say that it's my favorite café in Madrid so far. This bar/café is located in the heart of Malasaña and is the perfect place to spend afternoons with friends playing board games.Its menu is quite extensive, offering everything from coffee to cocktails and beers, all at reasonable prices.

The best part is that the board games are available to play as many times as you want, and it's totally free! Plus, the decoration is simply amazing; it transports you to an authentic Parisian café. La Manuela Bar is an incredible spot to meet new friends because the place itself lends itself for people to interact with each other and create friendship bonds naturally and spontaneously.

Madrid offers a wide range of 'instagrammable' places where you can not only capture incredible moments for your social networks, but also meet new friends and create lasting memories.
