7 of Our Favorite Cafés with the Best Coffee in Barcelona
In recent years, the specialty coffee scene has been making itself known in Barcelona, one trendy café at a time. As we’ve mentioned before, Spanish coffee, in the classic torrefacto style, leaves something to be desired for those who didn’t grow up drinking this burnt, slightly sweet coffee. However, a number of coffee lovers and entrepreneurs have built up Barcelona’s specialty coffee scene, and a whole world of coffeehouse culture with it. Here are 7 of our favorite spots to get the best coffee in Barcelona, from charming, historic cafés to hip, fun coffee shops.
