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).

El Noa Noa
El Noa Noa
El Noa Noa makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona.
Here's why…
This coffee / LGBTQI+ book store is a lovely find in the Gracia neighbourhood. It's located on a charming corner of Carrer de Torrijos and Carrer de Ramón y Cajal. Inside, the place is packed with color, illustrations, accessories and reading materials for coffee and book enthusiasts. There’s also a very small (2 seat) ground seating area at the front with cushions on good weather days.
Everything is designed and presented with care including the coffee. We would often visit multiple times per week to pick up an espresso, cortado or chai latte.
On the times we've visited the roasters featured included Nomad (Barcelona) and Hola Coffee Roasters (Madrid).

News & Coffee
News & Coffee
News & Coffee makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona.
Here's why…
News & Coffee have renovated local news kiosks throughout Barcelona with a modern concept that brings together specialty coffee and creative publications, books and magazines. The material is focused on illustration, design, music, architecture, lifestyle and culture.
For us this location in Gràcia on Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia is one of their best and a lovely place to get a coffee to go + magazine where you can sit and enjoy the local plaza. For a nice accompaniment to the coffee we recommend the pastries and baked goods from nearby Oz bakery.
With locations all over the city a quality cup of specialty coffee on the go is never far away in Barcelona.

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.

SlowMov
SlowMov
Slowmov has become a favorite spot for us—a small yet bustling space that's always brimming with visitors. We find ourselves dropping by every few days to relish their superb coffee.
The café's unique charm lies in its in-house roasted coffee, a process often visible in the background as they roast their beans most days. The presentation, ambiance, and welcoming baristas make it an ideal spot for a cozy coffee session with friends.
Amidst the small space and constant bustle, this café holds a special allure—a place for excellent coffee and conviviality in Barcelona.

The Rocks Coffee Kiosk
The Rocks Coffee Kiosk
The Rocks Coffee Kiosk makes our list for the best specialty coffee in Barcelona.
Here's why…
It's more challenging than you think to find an early morning spot to get a quality cup of specialty coffee to go in Barcelona. So we appreciate that the Rocks opens at 07:15 and we can pass by walking the dog for our caffeine boost on those early walks. As the name suggests it's also a kiosk with daily newspapers and a strong creative magazine collection.
The coffee here is from Nomad so along with a nice espresso or latte you call also pick up their signature beans.
