A small female-run local cafe with a very welcoming owner. It's probably a rare place catering for both tea and coffee lovers. Sanwiches were freshly made. There's no fixed menu, but the owner will make you one if it's not insanely busy.

An amazing little spot next to the university serving fantastic food and great coffee. We also got some fantastic recommendations of places to see in Barcelona from the owner.

Hey :) , its Arthur from Manchester. I just want to say that this place is a special place, a cafe in the heart of a community. The owner has done a great job and its clear that a lot of thought has gone into everything. The food is really good, the type of place you can spend hours in with some drinks and a newspaper. It's what we have less and less of nowadays (because of corporates taking over) a real community centered cafe. I just realised that the cafe doesn't open on Saturdays so I was not able to return before my flight in the morning but I shall most certainly return :) I wish you guys all the best :)

Saw a review claiming that this cafe had the best coffee in Barcelona, and here to say it is true!!! The lady working was so sweet and recommended some places for dinner while we were in the city. Cannot say enough good things about this place and the character of the workers. Quality food and coffee for a great price.
