This hidden gem in a lesser known neighbourhood of Barcelona serves some of the best espresso, cortados and lattes in the city. The espresso here especially is one of my favourite drinks and on its day it’s one of the best I’ve tried. It even has a special type of glass I’d never seen before and looks beautiful in presentation. They’re a micro roaster with the coffee roasted in house so you know it’s fresh and you can always take some of their beans to go. It’s one of the few Barcelona based specialty coffee shops that opens early @ 8:00am. For a while it was a key part of my morning routine when walking the dog and taking an espresso. It’s work friendly and there’s lot’s of available table space. Most importantly you have Mt. Tibidabo in the background and it looks majestic while enjoying your coffee and taking in this beautiful Barcelona neighbourhood. It’s not quite at the very top, although it’s close. This is definitely one of the hillier parts of the city. ⭐️ One of the best espressos 🥱 Opens early ⛰️ Hilly area (Mt.
