Sugureta Mercado

Similar to the last review, little bit hard to find but if you bring it up in google maps you can kind of navigate your little blue dot there, but it’s on the ground level. Owner was super nice, they had not much in the way of bread (just mini baguette and sliced loaves of bread) but lots of cookies and baked cheesecakes and chocolate cakes, was also in the process of making sweet pizzas. Mini baguette, 7 cookies and a slice of cheesecake for 11€. Cheesecake and cookies are amazing.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. On Google, it says the opening hours are 10am-2pm from Tuesday to Friday, with extra hours on Friday and Saturday. I arrived at around 12pm on Tuesday and tried again at 10am on Wednesday and the stall was completely shut. I contacted the business via WhatsApp (in Spanish) and was told (in English) that they would only be open on Friday and Saturday this week, at completely different times than advertised online. I went again on Friday at 10:30am and the shelves were very bare, with some tired-looking cakes and no savoury products. The owner was kneading dough through in the kitchen so I assumed more products would be available later in the day. I wanted to inquire about this, so I politely asked the owner if he spoke English (because my Spanish is very basic), to which he replied “yes, but you’re in Spain” in an extremely rude tone of voice. I completely understand that it may have been inconvenient for him to speak in English instead of Spanish, but as a customer, I thought he would be a little more willing to help me. By his own admission, he spoke English, so why not make things easier for both of us, instead of me struggling to say what I meant and him struggling to understand me? I walked away without purchasing anything because he had made me feel so belittled and upset. This was my only experience like this during my trip to Madrid. Travelling with coeliac disease is already challenging and stressful - we don’t need rude and unhelpful vendors on top of everything else. I would strongly advise you against visiting - there are plenty of gluten free bakeries in Madrid with a greater variety of nicer-looking food and much more kind, welcoming and helpful staff. 0% Gluten, for example, was a great bakery/cafe with a much wider selection and much nicer staff.

Just a heads up. We almost missed this little bakery because it is inside the Mercado de la Cebada. It is in the back corner. It was worth the hunt to talk to the delightful baker and purchase and taste his delicious baked goods. It is in the market so there is no place to eat in there.

I had an amazing time at Sugureta! It is a completely gluten free facility and the owners, one of which has celiac, was more than happy to answer any of my questions, as well as give recommendations of other gluten free establishments in the area. In addition, the food was amazing! Best I’ve had in Madrid, and with plenty of offerings that I had never been able to try, such as a tuna empanada. I highly recommend that anybody in Madrid pays this place a visit. You won’t regret it.
