      Food was fantastic and for a great price. Drinks were delicious. The ambiance was cool sitting in the beach area was very unique. The service was the best part. Our waiter Andres gave us great recommendations and was very friendly.

      Such a unique spot! Little beach bar hidden downstairs. You have to go for breakfast upstairs and dinner downstairs

      This place has sand!! When you you request a table, request to be seated in the basement. The basement has sand and beach vibes!

      I had some sangrias and they were so sweet and delicious! Then we ordered a burrata pizza! The food was pretty good, but the vibes were sick. We really came for the views and it was worth it. It did get pretty hot downstairs, so order a cold beverage.

      The basement is sandbeach theme

      Ojalá was one of those gems you need someone to recommend to you, and in this case it was our tour guide who did when I asked for a vegetarian spot rec. It was a good 30 min walk from where we were, but it was so worth it.

      First off, despite being very crowded and the two of us having just walked in, they managed to squeeze us onto a table that was funnily halfway out of the side patio door, so we were next to the street. This wasn't a problem though, eating as the madrid locale bustled around us (and the occasional curious sniffy dogs).

      Their carrot and other juices are refreshing and hit the mark. They're very generous with their sweet potato crisps, so we had a handful of those with our hummus and salads. The salads perhaps had too much dressing, we'd have preferred it dryer and leafier, but the dressings were mindfully made and healthy. We left greener and well fed.

      I'm a huge fan of brunch here! They give you your main dish along with a side salad, bread, and yogurt! Plus, they also give you two drinks which I loved!! I wish I would've had time to go again because all of the food and drinks were incredible. They have plenty of seating outside, inside, and a downstairs area that had sand flooring. Thankfully they didn't sit us down there because I wouldn't have been a fan of walking through sand. Nonetheless, everything was great and totally recommend it!

      The setting was really cool, the beach area gives it a very nice unique touch. The food itself was ok. The eggs were undercooked and the ham was not very good. We were happy when the food arrived so fast but the food was not great. The staff was nice but seemed to be in a hurry to get the next group in. The cafe con leche was great. This wouldn't be the 1st place I'd go to for breakfast. It's also a bit of a tourist trap.

      Decided to try this place for brunch based on reviews and images of the food. We both had the brunch ( continental and the just 4U) and both were phenomenal. Quality of the food and breads were very good. We have been struggling to find good bread and croissants while our visit to Spain and this was the first place to have just what we have been looking for. Staff was attentive and efficient.

      My only suggestion to the business is that the main room that we were sat on had a green wall that was recently painted and the room had a strong chemical smell. Personally I don't think they should have the room open for sitting. Also a couple that was sat on the table next to us got the winter coats damaged as the fresh paint stained their coats. Hope the business covered the costs for the damage coat but I don't know what the resolution to the issue was.

      This place is all about the ~vibes~. The upstairs is a beautiful tropical theme, but what really makes this place stand out is the sand floor in the basement! This would be a perfect date night spot or Sunday afternoon brunch w friends place.

      What I ordered: I had eaten beforehand so I just got a cappuccino (which was delicious). The servers were nice and fairly attentive.

      I would definitely come back just because of how cool it is!

      FYI: the hours are wrong on Yelp. They are most definitely open around dinner time as well.

      A super cute and quaint place to grab a bite to eat or a drink! The prices are very affordable and well worth it for what you get. They have a beautiful indoor seating area on the ground level that has a bunch of plants, a downstairs area that has sand floors with a chill beach vibe, and an outdoor seating area with a nice European cafe vibe.

      I had the Just-4-you and loved it. It came with an orange juice and a latte included. I had the juice with my food and took the latte to go at the end. It was a pretty healthy meal, but flavorful as well. I loved the mushrooms that came on the side! The sangria was really good as well!

      I was literally obsessed with this place!! This place is always crowded!

      I went here for lunch but was so packed that I decided to not wait and come back for dinner. I literally waited at the bar for about 45 mins to get a table while I gulped down a few Sangria's! Again, they're my favorite ever since Spain! This place has a good hangout bar with a huge table which is quite unique and comfortable for most people waiting on a table.

      We took the seating downstairs and to my surprise there were shacks! And wait, Sand too!!! I loved how the ambience here was so chill and casual.

      I ordered the regular burger and it was really good. Much better than I expected. Service was very nice too! I definitely recommend this place! You must visit Ojala at least to chill with a Sangria on their pseudo beach!!
