Fort Pienc

Brew Coffee

This cafe is picking up every award going at the time of writing. They’ve just won best cafe and best barista in the 2023 bcn coffee awards. With this kind of prestige this already popular spot is going be even more popular in 2024. Aside from the awards this is a genuine place with friendly baristas. There’s always a nice atmosphere with people enjoying coffee, chatting, working on laptops and writing in notebooks. On the times we’ve visited, the coffee has always been excellent and we recommend the iced latte with oat milk and their espresso. They aren’t a coffee roaster so they have a curated selection of roasters they use from local and international roasters. They also have a great terrace at the front to chill with your favourite bevvy. It’s located in Fort Pienc so Arc de Triomf is very close by and Barcelona’s biggest green space Ciutadela Park is only 10 minutes away. 🥇Award winning 🌴Good atmosphere 💻 Work friendly ☀️Terrace seating Espresso Machine: La Marzocco Coffee Roaster: Brew Coffee Vegan Milk: Oat Other Food & Drink: Sandwiches, pastries...

In Valencia, a city that lives outdoors, finding a spot where specialty coffee and a focused workspace coexist is an art form. Here's our guide to some of the best.

Specialty Coffee Across Spain

Spain's specialty coffee scene has come a long way. What was once dominated by dark-roasted torrefacto blends has given way to a new generation of roasters and cafes dedicated to quality, transparency, and craft. Barcelona and Valencia lead the charge, each with their own thriving communities of independent coffee shops that rival anything in London, Berlin, or Melbourne.

In Barcelona, the scene is mature and diverse. Neighbourhoods like Gracia, Born, and Poblenou each have their own coffee identity, from cozy neighbourhood spots to design-forward roastery cafes. Valencia is catching up fast, with areas like El Carmen and Ruzafa packed with creative spaces that blend specialty coffee with brunch culture, co-working, and local art.
