Monkee Koffee

Opened in late 2014 by Oscar Gonzalez and Salvador Figueros, Monkee Koffee was among Madrid's earliest specialty coffee spaces. The founders came from careers in TV and marketing, and drew inspiration from roasters like Blue Bottle and Panther Coffee in Miami. The shop landed in an untrendy, residential corner of the Chamberi district and set about building a local audience for a style of coffee drinking that barely existed in Madrid at the time. For years, Monkee sourced its beans from Spanish micro roasters including Puchero and others, with baristas certified by the SCA. In 2025, the operation began roasting in house from selected small producers. Monkee's identity leans as much on atmosphere and community as on the coffee itself, with weekend brunches, a communal table culture, and a deliberate effort to make specialty coffee feel welcoming.
