I love working from coffee shops or just stopping by for a chat with my wife whenever we need a break from work. Barcelona has developed an incredible specialty coffee scene over the past decade, and these are the spots I keep coming back to.
My main criteria for this list is the quality of the coffee itself. Some of these aren’t ideal for working, but they all serve excellent coffee.
Looking for beans to brew at home? I’ve written a detailed guide to the best coffee roasters in Barcelona, covering where to buy exceptional beans and the stories behind the people roasting them.
