COTO COFFEE + COLMADO
Closed now · Baixada de Caçador, 1, 08002 Barcelona · Coto coffee makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona. Here’s why… When you find this place it’s like discovering a secret spot. You have to take the right turns and choose the right alley and hope it appears 😅 Low key one of the most interesting coffee to go places in Barcelona. Partly because of the location, mostly because of the illustrations and creative vibe going on in this space. Coto’s going hard on the artistic front and the place is packed with bright colors, illustrations, artwork and artisanal food and wine. Their own vibrant branding which is super fun and cool is plastered over everything from the windows to the beans. The coffee here is from local roaster Onawa and the barista made two excellent cortados with oat milk for us which was perfect on this winters day. We enjoyed the coffee in the alley outside and even with the low light we got some awesome photos of the gothic architecture and surroundings nearby. If you are in the gothic quarter we recommend finding this one of a kind place. 🌈 Creative space with art and illustration 🧐 Secret location (kind of) 🏰 Gothic quarter Espresso Machine: La Marzocco Coffee Roaster: Onawa Coffee Roasters Vegan Milk: Oat Other Food & Drink: Homemade cakes Instagram: @coto.bcn

Coffee Hackers
Closed now · C/ de Saragossa, 60, 08006 Barcelona · Coffee Hackers makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona. Here’s why… 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.

Nomad Coffee Frutas Selectas
Nomad Coffee Frutas Selectas
Closed now · C. de Pujades, 95, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona · 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
