BREW & SOUND

Every Gram. Every Groove. We take coffee and sound seriously. A La Marzocco Linea Classic-S paired with a Mahlkönig E65W GbS for gram-precise espresso. A Technics SL-1200MK7 on the other side of the bar. Same attention to detail, different ritual.

The space is acoustically treated so the music hits right — Yamaha A-S301 amplifier, Klipsch RP-600M speakers. Sit down, order your coffee, and hear the difference.

Frequently
asked questions

Yes, though we keep it low-key. Licensed Coffee is an analog-first space designed for vinyl listening and conversation, not scrolling. We'd rather you disconnect, pick a record and enjoy the music through our hi-fi system. The password is available at the counter if you need it.

Yes, laptops are welcome on weekdays. We're not a coworking space — music plays at conversational volume through our McIntosh speakers, so it's a café first. We ask that you use headphones for calls and keep the vibe respectful for everyone enjoying the music.

Yes, we stock over 100 titles across jazz, hip-hop, soul, rock, funk and more, rotated monthly. You can listen to any record on our system before buying. Ask the team at the counter for price and availability — if it's on the shelf, it's for sale.

Yes. We serve chai latte (€3.80), dirty chai latte (€4.30), decaf espresso, and freshly squeezed orange juice (€3.80). Oat and soy milk are available as alternatives for any drink (+€0.50). All coffee-based drinks can be served iced at no extra cost.

Yes, dogs are welcome inside and we provide a water bowl. The space is compact, so we recommend the terrace for larger breeds. Prosperidad is a walkable neighborhood with green spaces nearby, making it easy to combine a visit with a stroll.

Yes, we carry 250g bags from rotating specialty roasters for €14.50 each. Our selection changes monthly so there's always something new to try. The team can recommend a bag based on your preferred brew method — espresso, V60, French press or any other setup.

Licensed Coffee is located at Calle de López de Hoyos, 13, just steps from Prosperidad metro station. We serve specialty coffee roasted by partner roasters, brewed as espresso, V60 pour-over, batch brew, or cold brew. Whether you're a neighborhood regular or visiting Madrid, it's a dedicated specialty coffee bar in the heart of Prosperidad.

Licensed Coffee is a vinyl cafe in Prosperidad, Madrid, with a McIntosh amplification system, a Technics SL-1200 turntable, and a curated collection of over 100 records spanning hip-hop, jazz, rock, soul, and more. Every Thursday evening we host Open Deck Thursdays, where customers and DJs bring their own records to play on our hi-fi system.

For coffee we use a La Marzocco Linea Mini espresso machine with Mahlkönig grinders, plus Hario V60 drippers and a Fellow Stagg kettle for pour-overs. For sound we run a McIntosh MA5300 integrated amplifier, McIntosh speakers, and a Technics SL-1200 turntable — all in an acoustically treated space designed for critical listening.

Open Deck Thursday is a free weekly event every Thursday evening at Licensed Coffee. Customers, neighbors, and DJs bring their own vinyl records to play on the shop's McIntosh hi-fi system. It's a community gathering that celebrates vinyl culture and specialty coffee — no sign-up needed, just bring a record and enjoy the music.

Licensed Coffee combines specialty coffee with vinyl culture under one roof.
