Whether you’re looking for your morning kick, or just an afternoon pick me up, we recommend swinging by any of these for your next triple shot latte.
What this place lacks in size it makes up for in friendly service, charming atmosphere and phenomenal coffee. With only half a dozen tables it can get busy, but the relaxed Eixample vibes and friendly no rush style keeps everything on point. They make incredible coffee with all the alternative milk choices you crave, but also excel with sandwiches, salads and cakes from scratch, which are definitely worth taking a seat for.
