Cherry's Index

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

64

Sparse signal

Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Well-regarded· sentiment 75/100

Hola Coffee Roasters (based in Madrid) is praised by Reddit users for its great cafe atmosphere and fruity, balanced specialty coffee offerings, such as their Kenyan Gathaithi. Visitors and locals alike highlight it as a favorite neighborhood spot in Madrid, and one commenter humorously noted they correctly spell 'Gesha'. Note: Several search results matched the Spanish greeting 'hola' or the Kicking Horse 'Hola' blend rather than the specific roaster, but direct mentions of the Madrid shop/roaster are strictly positive.
