Aron really loves churros, and is perfectly content to snack on either the cinnamon-sugar variety that one finds in Mexican restaurants, or the less sweet, perfect-for-dipping-in-chocolate variety one finds in Spain. In fact, in both Barcelona and Madrid, Churro-tasting was a key element of the visit. And not since those trips to Spain have we had such delicious, Spanish-style churros. That is, until yesterday! When I read about La Churreria in Nolita, I grabbed Aron and our baby and we all headed downtown. The cafe is intimate, with just a few marble-topped tables and counters you can pull up to. We decided to go totally sweet and get a shot of espresso poured over sweetened condensed milk (like coffee candy) along with churros and chocolate. The one time we tried making churros was a total disaster (scary frying accident and all), and we may not be back to Spain for quite some time, so I am sure Aron will be steering us back here for his future fix.

It is true in Spain we love churros! It’s kind of ritual breakfast with churros Sundays or holidays! xoxo_Lau.
I just read about this place and have been wanting to try it. Now I really want to!
Wow, those look sooo good! And I love how they tiled the outside of the restaurant to really make it look like Spain!
Yum!
Actually, every time I see the women selling them in the subway, I want to go home and try making them myself.
That’s it. I’m going.
I have been looking for a place like this EVERYWHERE in the US after I saw Samantha Brown eating some on the travel channel. I really want to just make them myself. I mean, I know how to make churros but that chocolate part is elusive. I cannot find any recipes. But thank you for sharing this. Out of all the places you’ve blogged about in NYC, this one is my number one must go to.
All of that looks delicious… what a cool concept for a restaurant/snack shop!
Wow, this looks amazing. I just love churros
Ashley-The woman in the window resembles you, slightly. How funny.
Am I dreaming? Could it be? A restaurant that serves churros? Almost sounds too good to be true! This just made it onto my hypothetical travel wish list!!! Thank you for sharing….

That photo of Aron and Hudson is too sweet (puts the churros to shame!)
Nice to see that you like Polarn o. Pyret’s stripes… Or Pop, as we say in Sweden. Sweet photo!

I went here the other week after reading about it here! Haven’t had chocolate con churros since I studied abroad in Madrid. They didn’t disappoint and the ambiance is great!
So glad to hear they lived up to our rec!
