Love the atmosphere in here and the dates cake that I had was so much bigger than I thought and so delicious.

Brilliant coffee bar in a nice chill part of Barcelona. Coffee is delicious and food is super good. If you sit in you see the cheese bread fly off the shelf. I had the avocado and tuna toast and it was delicious! Overall, lovely place to have a slice of banana bread and a coffee.

Hands down best coffee we had in Spain! The Carmel latte was not too bitter, not too sour, and with the perfect touch of caramel. AND IT WAS REAL CARMEL, which made me so happy. The ham and cheese sandwich was made with a really sweet croissant, which I personally didn’t think mixed well with the meat and cheese. But the coffee was so amazing that I didn’t even care haha. So, maybe just stick with the coffee.

Chill and charming, didn’t feel rushed to get a takeaway coffee as you do in some places in Barcelona, love the merch with their dog. Note: Prices for espresso and cortado have changed slightly since I’ve taken the first picture.

Nice coffee! Quite coffeeshop to chill. I liked how they add sun-dried orange to their cold brew :)

Nice and cosy coffee bar, stopped here early on a Saturday morning, nice thing that they're open a bit earlier than some of the other coffee places in the neighbourhood. Both the Americano and Flat White we had were good. Enjoyed the calm atmosphere as well.
