Collection of the best specialty coffee shops in Barcelona

From Gracia to Poblenou and everywhere in between, Barcelona’s coffee scene is thriving. With 50+ specialty coffee stores and cafés (and more opening every week). Barcelona is one of the best cities in Spain to find and enjoy great coffee. Many of these cafés have opened in recent years to embrace the specialty coffee wave and celebrate coffee as an experience. You can find a diverse range of local roasters, unique and architecturally interesting cafés and different visual and sensory experiences all over the city.

There’s famous cafés and hidden gems everywhere. To start, we recommend visiting the neighbourhoods of Gràcia (so many great coffee places including Sitio, Slowmov and more), Ciutat Vella (Nomad Coffee — Lab & Shop and wonderful architecture) and Fort Pienc which has many of our favourite places (Brew Coffee and Three Marks Coffee).

Roast Club Cafe

Roast Club Cafe

Roast Club Cafe makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona. Here’s why… 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 C/ de València, 190, 08011 Barcelona Closed now

Nomad Coffee Frutas Selectas

Nomad Coffee Frutas Selectas

Nomad Coffee Frutas Selectas makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona. Here's why… Frutas Selectas was the initial roasting location for Nomad Coffee. Situated in Poblenou with its strong industrial history, it makes sense that this would be the ideal place to start roasting coffee. They've since outgrown the location for roasting and decided to keep it as a cafe. The name Frutas Selectas comes from selecting only the best coffee beans (fruit) for roasting. And thus ensuring the best quality coffee. Let us start by saying this is one of the nicest coffee and food experiences we’ve had in Barcelona. The Nomad Coffee Frutas Selectas location had been on our list to visit for a while and when we finally did we were very impressed. The coffee was the high standard you would expect from Nomad. They are very attentive in making a coffee to your exact specifications whether that’s an espresso, filter coffee or latte. For home enthusiasts they have a large selection of their beans to go and the extensive menu on the wall makes it easy to choose the right one. For food, all the pastries and sandwiches are made in house. We were lucky and ordered lunch that day from the specials. This included an omelette with garlic butter, truly one of the best omelettes we've ever had and a local dish of Butifarra (Catalan sausage). We hope that when you visit they have equally as delicious specials. Special mention to the barista for explaining the history and story of this location. 📍Unique location and atmosphere 🏭 Nomad coffee heritage Espresso Machine: La Marzocco Coffee Roaster: Nomad Coffee Vegan Milk: Oat Other Food & Drink: Daily specials, pastries Instagram: @nomadcoffee C. de Pujades, 95, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona Closed now

Sitio

Sitio

Sitio makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona. Here's why… Unassuming from the outside it’s easy to walk down Carrer de les Tres Senyores and miss Sitio. Meaning "place" in Spanish it's a minimalist space that combines art, design, coffee and fashion. The barista created two delicious and creamy cortados for us and explained the concept behind Sitio whose principles are to be sustainable in every aspect from the coffee to the clothes on the rails. The clothes are all made by local designers and the coffee was from Jaleo Coffee Roasters (Barcelona based roaster). If you're in Gràcia and looking for one of the more unique coffee experiences then you should stop by and check this one out. 💎 Hidden gem ♻️ Sustainable fashion ⭐️ Great coffee Espresso Machine: La Marzocco Coffee Roaster: Jaleo Coffee Roasters Vegan Milk: Oat Other Food & Drink: Pastries, kombucha Instagram: @somossitio C/ de les Tres Senyores, 24, Gràcia, 08024 Barcelona Closed now
