Specialty Coffee Shops in Spain

If you’ve ever walked up Carrer de Pau Claris on a weekend it’s hard to miss the crowds outside La Papa. And for good reason…this is a must visit for brunch and coffee lovers. The modernized space makes the best of its Eixample location with a minimal design and street side terrace. The homemade cakes and pastries look even prettier against the soft pastel colors inside. On our visit we avoided the queue and opted for the espresso bar. Special mention to the barista here who created 2 beautiful cortados (espresso shot with foamed milk) and chatted to us about their use of local roasters. We definitely feel like we missed out as the food options looked delicious and we could see everyone enjoying it a lot. We’ll save the brunch experience for another trip. 🍰 Homemade cakes 🥓 Brunch menu ⭐️ Standout coffee 🌱All the plant based milks Espresso Machine: Unknown Coffee Roaster: Unknown Vegan Milk: Almond, Oat, Soy Other Food & Drink: Brunch restaurant Instagram: @lapapabarcelona

This popular spot in Esquerra de l’Eixample not only roasts it’s own coffee but it has some of the most unusual blends you’ll find anywhere in the city. They are roasting innovators with unique creations and flavour profiles like Blueberry Fudge, Zesty Pavlova and Choco Power. The cafe has everything including a terrace out front, espresso bar for coffee on-the-go and indoor seating. We really enjoyed watching the barista serving the customers at the espresso bar and seeing first hand the skill and enjoyment he was getting from making coffee. There was a decent queue when we arrived and we’re sure this place is just as famous for it’s brunch as the coffee. The brunch menu was stacked with everything from overnight oats to delicious toasts and sandwiches. The branding and aesthetic of this place are just cool and really add to the coffee club vibe. 🍭 Creative and unique coffee blends (locally roasted) ☀️ Terrace ☕️ Espresso bar for coffee-to-go 🥞 Delicious food 🏛 Located in Esquerra de l’Eixample Espresso Machine: Victoria Arduino Coffee Roaster: Roast Club Vegan Milk: Oat Other Food & Drink: Brunch, pastries Instagram: @roastclubcafe

Japanese owned The Coffee have several locations throughout the city. A robust menu, clean lines and a modern and minimalist design are the foundation of the experience. This includes an iPad ordering system to build a coffee to your exact specifications. The Eixample location we visited is on the lower floor of a beautiful modernist building. This makes it a great spot to get a caffeine boost between exploring the Eixample and Grácia neighbourhoods. There’s also seating inside for those hot days when you need an iced coffee and place to take break. They roast their own coffee so if you like their flavour profile you can take their beans to go along with other brewing and filter equipment. ⚪️ Minimal design 🏙 Beautiful Eixample location 🔥 Roast their own coffee Espresso Machine: La Marzocco Coffee Roaster: The Coffee Vegan Milk: Oat Other Food & Drink: Pastries Instagram: @thecoffee.jp
