Bohl – Such a pretty cafe, with a plant-based focus. I am a fan of their porridge selection (check out the savory Korean porridge!). Read my review here. Carrer de Trafalgar 47, (Eixample).
Hidden Café – Fantastic coffee, and also the queen of matcha. These guys go to Japan and buy their matcha directly from the producers. Amazing stuff. Make sure you also try their Hojicha latte, a Japanese green tea that’s absolutely amazing. Carrer de Déu I Mata 64 (Les Corts).

Oma Bistró – This comfy cafe opens early in the morning, and serves hungry and thirsty customers until the evening.

Consell de Cent 227 (Eixample).

They have a large range of excellent vegan cookies and cakes. Read my review here. Carrer Sant Hermenegild 2, 08006 Barcelona (Putxet).
Granja M Viader – It first opened in 1870 and is a true classic. If you’re craving something savory don’t miss their bikini, it’s simple but unforgettable.

Usagui – This Japanese café is very authentic in every way you can imagine: their pastries are to die for and the drinks are interesting and delicious. They serve a tasty Japanese lunch, and it gets very busy around noon. Read my review here. Carrer de les Santjoanistes 28 (Putxet).

Faire. Brunch & Drinks, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
Faire. Brunch & Drinks – Also technically a brunch restaurant, but they also have good coffee and great pastries. They have a sustainable focus here: the source sustainable ingredients, reduce their carbon footprint as much as they can, AND they plant a tree for each receipt! If you choose plant milk instead of dairy you will get your coffee cheaper (!). The room in the back is really cute. Make sure to try their cookies: the recipe is inspired by the famous cookies at Levaine Bakery! Read my review of Faire here. C. de Girona, 81 (Eixample Dreta).

Orval, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.
Orval – Joliu Studio’s little sister is equally as attractive, and is just a hop and a skip away from the Ciutadella park. Read my review of Orval here. Carrer de Buenaventura Muñoz 31, Barcelona (Ciutadella/Marina).

These are places where you can (learn to) enjoy high-quality and freshly roasted coffee, where fruity and herbal nuances are light years away from the burnt horror you might otherwise be served if you’re not paying attention.

Barcelona’s best coffee shops and cafés

1.
Nomad Roasters’ Home
- Restaurants
- Cafés
-
price 1 of 4
This is the speciality coffee shop in Poblenou, where high-end coffee importers and roasters Nomad have installed their headquarters. Part shop, part café and coffee roaster, this is an ideal spot to learn, try and ask. Here they select the beans, toast them and serve them in every way you can imagine, with excellence as a common denominator. Minimalist in decor, the space sticks to bare wood, steel and glass. ‘We teach everything we do,’ says Nomad’s Jordi Mestres. ‘The focus is not on the pictures on the wall, but on how to make and serve coffee. We do only one thing and we aim to do it very well.’

2. Cafés El Magnífico
- Restaurants
- Coffeeshops
- Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera
At this coffee shop and roaster that first opened in 1989, you’ll find roasting as well as wholesale and retail sale of single-origin coffees and exceptional blends – in all speciality formats, cold infusion included, and shakerato as well. There’s also an area where you can have an excellent cup of coffee. It’s not cheap, but the high quality of the coffee is worth the extra coins once in a while. The capuccinos are especially delicious.

3. Satan’s Coffee Corner

- Cafés
- El Gòtic
-
price 1 of 4
Satan’s serves one of the best cups of coffee you’ll get in Barcelona, and their blends of Right Side Coffee – among the best in the city – are in constant rotation, so you can always try something different. They also serve the makings for a spectacular breakfast: ‘Everything pairs well with coffee – I recommend the traditional Japanese breakfast, with rice, omelette, spinach, miso soup and coffee,’ says Marcos Bartolomé, the man behind the enterprise. If you’re not in the neighbourhood, try their Eixample location (Gran Vía, 700), open from 7am to 6pm every day of the week.

- Coffeeshops
- Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera
Jordi Mestres studied design at Elisava in Barcelona, and then emigrated to London, where he discovered the world of speciality coffee, and had his own mobile coffee cart called the Nomad. When he got back to Barcelona, and in record time, Mestres had established Nomad – coffee roasters, café, wholesale and retail shops, training – as ground zero zone of speciality coffee in Catalonia. At the Nomad Coffee Lab & Shop, they experiment with coffee, and you can go to try brews that are prepared in a variety of ways, such as espresso, flat white, V60, aeropress, cold brew or cold drip.

5. Onna Coffee
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- Vila de Gràcia
Annahí Páez comes from Costa Rica, from a family of coffee growers – it’s in her blood and it shows. Tasting her Rio Jorco blend is a complete experience – it has a thousand nuances, it’s potent and subtle at the same time, and it’s marvellous. The friendly wait staff at Onna Coffee are like cocktail mixologists in the way they assess what you like to make you the best blend that isn’t just your usual cuppa joe. They suggest ways to infuse your brew depending on the machine they use. If you’re feeling peckish, the pastrami sandwiches are spectacular, and the desserts are home-made.

6. Ruma’s
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- Dreta de l’Eixample
-
price 1 of 4
If you want to drink true coffee, you can do it at Ruma’s. Owner Ruma Motrenko is passionate about speciality coffee. She works with beans toasted by Hidden – among the best in town – and the combination of quality and good service you’ll find here comes from the fact that Motrenko refreshes her stock weekly, always paying attention to the origin of the coffee and looking for the all-important maturation factor. Coffee is king here, of course, but they also do chocolate, which you can get in a cup, or in the form of bonbons, cakes and artisan delights.

7. Orval
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- El Parc i la Llacuna del Poblenou
-
price 1 of 4
Espai Joliu found success with formula that seemed simple but has managed to touch the soul of Poblenou: a café and plant shop in one. Owner and founder Lucía López next opened Orval, which she refers to as Espai Joliu’s evil twin. When you walk into Orval, you’re not slapped in the face with the heady sensation of baroque and shabby sweetness at Joliu. Orval is a café plants in it, yes, but it’s a sober, straightforward space, that’s full of light. Coffee, like jimson weed, is psychoactive, and Orval’s is one of the best in the neighbourhood. You’ll also find a high-quality breakfast menu that’s like having breakfast in a gastro market.

8. Dalston Coffee
- Restaurants
- Coffeeshops
- El Raval
Now that years have passed since Satan’s went from its little space in the Raval to the place of coffee worship in the Barri Gòtic it is now, someone had to fill in the vacancy. And lucky for us it’s Dalston, where you can grab an amazing coffee to go. This one-man establishment barely has room for the bar where Borja Rosselló skilfully employs an espresso machine and a Moccamaster filter to concoct his whole repertoire (espresso, filter, flat white, capuccino, cold brew…) from the manual of the good barista.

9. SlowMov
- Restaurants
- Cafés
- Gràcia
It’s hard to classify this space that’s not so much a café or coffee shop as it is a workshop with its doors open to the public. With the beautiful Giesen roaster in plain view and a small and lovely interior patio space, they open their workshop so everyone can taste seasonal coffees from around the world. They’re enthusiastic and, if you want, they’ll explain in detail whatever you want to know about the production, origin, the thousand nuances of coffee, and everything they work with (bread, oil, milk…). This is exactly the kind of project we all need right now.

10. Black Remedy
- Restaurants
- Sandwich shop
- El Gòtic
You can’t beat the combo of a really good coffee and a delicious sandwich. That’s just what the Ascasos (pioneers of the express café in Spain) had in mind when they opened Black Remedy. The coffee is out of this world, but the focus here is as much on the food. Nothing is processed, and when you get your mouth around the bomb of amazingness that is their pastrami sandwich – aromatic, grilled, with a touch of delicate mustard – you know that few can match it. Their forte is anything smoked, and some items are smoked up to 15 hours (go ahead and ask).

- Shopping
- Sant Martí
Here’s a concept store dedicated to plants, illustration and design that’s also a gallery and café (they serve Nomad Coffee concoctions, along with artisan cakes). In addition to plants, especially succulents and cactus, there’s a place for local artists: you’ll find illustrations and ceramics. The flowery Pompilio plants and Bas pots complete the ambience of a space that seduces instantly.

Get Your Coffee Order Right
Cafè americà
Spanish: Café americano
English: Hot water and espresso
If you’re not familiar, an ‘americano’ is espresso combined with hot water. Far more common than filter coffee in Barcelona, the strength depends on the ratio of shots of espresso to water. It’s a fairly typical coffee house option in many other countries as well, including, yes, the USA.
Cafè amb llet
Spanish: Café con leche
English: Espresso and milk in equal parts
At any café in Barcelona you’ll find cafè amb llet, a delicious combination of equal parts espresso and hot milk. It’s served piping hot, but a good one is worth a tiny tongue blister if you’re a coffee devotee.
Advertising
Cafè sol
Spanish: Café solo
English: Shot of espresso
A cafè sol (or simply a ‘cafè’) is a single shot of espresso, plain and simple. The bitter coffee is usually presented with a packet of sugar in a short, clear glass.
Cigaló
Spanish: Carajillo
English: Coffee with alcohol
If you want a little extra something-something in your java, this order will get you a small coffee with a splash of alcohol. Though the Catalan word is ‘cigaló’, almost all locals use the Spanish term, ‘carajillo’. Typically, you can order it anywhere that serves both coffee and liquor. Try it with Baileys (‘carajillo de Baileys’) or with rum (‘carajillo de ron’), two popular options.
Advertising
Tallat
Spanish: Cortado
English: Espresso with a bit of milk
Between a cafè sol and a cafè amb llet lies the tallat – an espresso ‘cut’ with milk. (‘Tallat’ and ‘cortado’ both literally translate to ‘cut’.) It’s still comprised of primarily coffee, but it’s a creamier and less-bitter choice than straight-up espresso.

- Craft beer
In this section we will describe the best bars in Barcelona, beach cafes, terraces, pastry shops and many different establishments where you can drink, eat, meet friends and become part of the Barcelona party.
In Barcelona, social life is given an important role. People of all ages constantly meet, communicate, get acquainted and move from one bar to another, go to clubs, cafes and restaurants, and in every possible way have fun outside the walls of their houses and apartments.
Spain is statistically the country with the highest number of bars per capita. On average, there is one bar for every 500 inhabitants. Barcelona is no exception. The bars here are a favorite meeting place, young and old, locals and tourists come here to discuss the latest news, make new acquaintances, complain about the government, cheer for their favorite football club, and, of course, have a drink.
We have selected the most original, unusual and not particularly touristy establishments where the youth of Barcelona go and where the fun flows over the edge.
Bars and Cafes in Barcelona on the map
codepeople-post-map require JavaScript
Gotico (Gothic Quarter)
One of the earliest pastry shops in the city was opened in 1849 and is called La Colmena. On the square where it is located, there is always a pleasant smell of pastries, you go to the window like a magnet and that’s it, consider it gone! Eyes run up from a variety of cakes, sweets and cakes for every taste.
Eixample Esquerra (Left Eixample)
The word Pastisseria is translated from Catalan as “confectionery”. Indeed, why make life difficult for yourself by coming up with original names when it comes to the best institution of its kind in all of Barcelona? Here is a top-class confectionery, winner of numerous awards, which became the best in the world in 2011. The local croissant has won the award as the best in Spain for many years in a row.
Born
Organizers of the music festival Primavera Sound and the creative team of Lateral Thinking have opened a bar in Barcelona where dancing takes place every evening, whether on a weekday or weekend. Modern hip hop, electronics, oldschool hits and the hottest mixes from guest DJs and club residents. You get into the institution itself through a beautiful entrance, climb the stairs and then, like in a fairy tale: if you go to the left, you will get to the bar, if you go to the right, you will come to the dance floor.
Plaza Catalunya
The oldest cocktail bar in Barcelona is called Boadas and is located in the city center, almost on the Ramblas. There are expensive cocktails and there is a dress code. Bartenders in tailcoats. An elegant place in art deco style.
Montjuic (Montjuic)
Few people know that in the summer, in a remote corner of the Montjuic mountain, La Caseta de Midgia opens up, where you can enjoy the evening, drink, dine, listen to live music and relax after a long walk.
This bar, cafe and restaurant in one will please those who want to hide from the heat in the fragrant shade of a pine grove, listen to pleasant music and enjoy unique views of the sea and the port of Barcelona.
Eixample Dreta (Right Eixample) Eixample Esquerra (Left Eixample) San Antoni (San Antoni)
An excellent option for an inexpensive, healthy and tasty breakfast in Barcelona is the SandwiChez cafe.
One of the most pleasant chain cafes in the city, where sandwiches are prepared for every taste, for example, with jamon and tomatoes or turkey and avocado. Focaccia four cheese melts in your mouth. Salads, bowls and other healthy food options.
Born (Born)
Let’s go in order. In the most fashionable part of the El Born district, an 800-meter establishment has opened. These are two floors of unbridled fun, which contain a bar, restaurant, club and entertainment area. The kitchen is divided into two zones. Downstairs they cook delicious juicy burgers, sing karaoke and play ping pong. Be sure to try the local veggie burger. It’s something incredible.
Raval
Rooftop Bar 360°, located on the 11th floor of the Barceló Hotel, offers a very beautiful view of Barcelona from its terrace. Like…
Raval
If you are looking for an old and authentic breakfast place in Barcelona, instead of being trendy, then you should definitely visit the Granja Viader cafe.
Tucked away in a narrow street just a stone’s throw from the Ramblas, this place has been delighting Barcelona residents since 1870 with traditional churros topped with chocolate, catalan crema and other sweet treats. The hosts will be happy to show you a table that Picasso himself once took a fancy to.
Eixample Esquerra (Left Eixample)
Admiring Barcelona from above, what could be better? Of course, do it in a beautiful place with pleasant music, a glass of aromatic wine and delicious snacks. Almost every hotel in Barcelona has a rooftop terrace with a bar open to the public. We advise you to visit the Calderon’s terrace, just a step away from Plaza Catalunya. Enter the hotel lobby, get on the elevator and press button 11.
Eixample Dreta (Right Eixample)
Park your fix at the entrance, take a seat by the huge floor-to-ceiling window and choose between a flat white in a bamboo cup, a cold brew from Rwanda, or an espresso made from locally roasted Ethiopian or Guatemalan beans.
This is not a complete list of local delights, because when a coffee shop is opened by one hipster barista, this is already good, and in triple volume it is already a real coffee extravaganza.
Born (Born)
The luxury hotel The Barcelona Edition has recently opened and immediately became a cult place among the Barcelona party. You should go here before sunset, go up to the roof and admire the magnificent view of Barcelona. The bright roof of the Santa Caterina market, the houses of the Born quarter and the seagulls in the blue sky will give you a romantic mood.
Raval
Café El Llop in the most trendy part of Haute-Raval on the corner of Rue Carme and Dr. Dou, a place where you can always pop in for a quick bite, coffee or business meeting or sit down for a serene friendly conversation.
Born
Barcelona has a huge number of hotels, most of which have terraces open to visitors overlooking the city.
You don’t have to be a hotel resident to climb them. A great way to relax on a hot evening is to go up to the roof, order a glass of cava and watch the sunset over Barcelona.
If you love elegant establishments with a vintage look, then La Confiteria bar, opened in 1912, will definitely appeal to you…
Raval
The best oysters in Barcelona can be found in the Boquería market at Joel’s Oyster Bar. In addition to oysters, the menu includes king crab, lobster, tuna sashimi, ceviche and shrimp. We advise you to order a dozen oysters and a bottle of cava brut natures.
Eixample Esquerra
One of the best brunch spots in Barcelona. The word Ugot is translated from Hebrew as “cake”. Homemade cakes, which guests of this establishment indulge in abundance, are prepared by the Israeli Adi, and her creations are just space! Every day, about ten cakes are displayed in the cafe window, each of which is a real masterpiece, beautiful, like a lemon pie, a gluten-free cake with chocolate and nuts, a delicate fruit cake with berries and other joys that blow your mind.
Barceloneta (Barceloneta)
The most beautiful bar in the world, according to the rating of the year before last, is located in the new port of Barcelona. An institution with such a high-profile status is the private club One Ocean, which was opened in 2014 immediately after the redevelopment of Barcelona’s Port Vell marina.
Tiny place with great coffee just off the Ramblas. Coffee connoisseurs will be delighted – here you can order Double Shot Espresso, Flat White with oat milk, Ice or Matcha Latte and other delights of a coffee lover.

The evening menu offers fusion tapas and a variety of cocktails.
