About: La Churreria

La Churrería is a cozy, joy-filled slice of Spain nestled in the heart of Nolita. Founded in 2011 by Madrid-born “Lolo,” the café brings authentic Spanish churros to New York City using traditional methods and even flour imported from Spain. What started as a small dream to share the simple magic of churros has grown into one of the city’s most charming sweet spots—where locals and tourists alike gather for crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside churros made fresh all day long.

The vibe is warm, casual, and full of neighborhood character — a place where you can take down stuffed churros, Churro Crème Brûlée, Churro Ice Cream and much more on your cheat day. If you’re feeling the Spanish vibe on your Cheat Day, you know where to go. 

Chef's Note

The Churros aren’t just made fresh, they use flour imported directly from Spain, the same kind used in Madrid’s oldest churrerías. 

Experience

Our experience at La Churrería was very positive and full of charm. The location is small but clean and cozy with scents of yummy churros. The ladies behind the counter made the experience even better—they’re warm and friendly and even decorated our treats with fun designs. The churros were fresh and perfect on a super-cold night. 

Review

Appearance

The Churro Crème Brûlée is a golden, swirled churros curling around a glossy custard base, with a thin caramelized sugar shell that fits like a crown, sparkling and daring you to crack it. 

Touch

Served in a cup, the Churro Crème Brûlée is light in weight but crispy on the outside, pillowy inside, making it creamy and crunchy all at once. 

Smell

The smell is a light, buttery scent of fried dough, mingled with the aroma of torched sugar.  A nostalgic scent of fresh pastry from grandma’s kitchen. 

Taste

The perfect mash of Spain and NYC — the rich, eggy vanilla custard mingles with the cinnamon churro, and the burnt-sugar crunch ties it all together. Its sweet but balanced flavor blends the heart of Spain with the energy of New York City—authentic Madrid-style dough fried fresh and paired with bold, playful flavors that only NYC would dare to dream up. It’s tradition with a city twist—sweet, crispy, and full of personality

What to Tell Your Friends

Bruh, you’ll go in for a taste and come out emotionally attached.
