The Chocolatería San Ginés is a café at Pasadizo de San Ginés, 5, in central Madrid, in a passageway close to San Ginés church, west of the Puerta del Sol.^[1] It has served principally chocolate con churros (hot chocolate and churros) since 1894. Coffee and cakes are also available.

The interior is decorated with mirrors and green wood panels, with green velvet seats and marble tables. The hot chocolate is served in Spanish style - thick, dark and strong. The churros are cut to length by the staff and served hot and freshly cooked, ready for dunking.^{[citation needed]}

In 2010, a San Ginés's branch was opened in Shibuya, Tokyo (Japan).^[1] It closed one year later, in 2011.^{[citation needed]}

This cafe has been mentioned in multiple literary works, including Los Episodios Nacionales by Benito Pérez Galdós and Luces de Bohemia by Valle Inclán.^[1]
