One morning, like every morning, you wake up and prepare your coffee. But on that day, a tragic event occurs: you’ve run out of coffee! The last ground coffee beans recharge you with energy, and you jot down in your agenda “Buy coffee.” If you live in the city of Barcelona, pay attention to this list by neighborhoods of the best places to buy coffee in Barcelona:
Born/Fort Pienc
Three Marks Coffee. They are part of the second wave of coffee roasters in the city, and they are doing very well. You can find them near the Auditori and the National Theater, and very close to Els Encants.
Nomad Coffee. They sound familiar to us…
Funky Bakers. The Born location is the third Funky Bakers shop and the sweetest one. You can buy their coffee: they choose a different origin every month, and we roast it for them.
Chandal Store. Magazines, cameras, markers, bags, plates, coffee, and other carefully selected items are part of Chandal Store’s colorful offering.
El Magnífico. A living legend of coffee in Barcelona, El Magnífico is one of the oldest coffee roasters still surviving in the city.
El Gòtic
Right Side Coffee. The first specialty coffee roaster in the province of Barcelona finally opens the doors of its café in the city. Long live!
Ruma’s Coffee. The coffees from the Berlin-based roaster, The Barn, fill this small café with aromas just steps away from Plaça Reial.
Eixample
Fargo. Overlooking the Sagrada Familia in case you need to fuel up on caffeine for an intense day of sightseeing in the city. What better souvenir than a package of coffee from the city you’ve visited?
BlackBird. Also near the Sagrada Familia, BlackBird occupies a tiny space where coffee takes center stage. Whether you have it there or take it away, coffee pleasure is guaranteed.
Citizen Cafe. If you run out of coffee, Citizen is so central that you’re sure to pass by at some point during the day to refuel.
Tostao x Casa Bonay. Hotel breakfasts had never sounded so promising until Casa Bonay arrived with its proposals to start your day off right. At TosTao, you’ll find local coffee and fine pastries with a Japanese twist.
Onia. It’s all about aromas at Onia: the ones wafting from the grinders, machines, and cups, and those from their beautiful shelf filled with organic soaps.
Roast Club. First from a tiny café and then from the spacious room of its current location, Roast Club has been a pioneer in specialty coffee when it wasn’t as popular. Today, they roast their own coffee, which is a delight.
Morrow Coffee. As you approach Plaça España, Morrow stands on a spacious and bright corner thanks to the large glass front of its facade. Admire the perfection of their spikes and try it at home with one of their coffees.
Brew Coffee. An ideal place to have a perfect cake and a carefully prepared coffee.
Gràcia
El Noa Noa. Coffee and reading go hand in hand, and El Noa Noa knows it: their love for books, magazines, and fanzines has extended beyond the café to occupy the neighboring space.
Pasarela. Grilled sandwiches and focaccias at Pasarela just wouldn’t be the same without a good coffee by their side.
Slow Mov. One of the most experienced advocates and roasters of specialty coffee in Barcelona, led by Carmen Callizo and François Justet.

Candela canela. Candela canela’s star attraction is their cinnamon rolls in dozens of different flavors. With coffee from Harmony, roasters from the neighboring Montcada i Reixac.
Oma Coffee. They select the finest specialty coffees, brew you a cup, and even sell them to you. What more could you ask for?
Horta
Jacaranda. The homemade Peruvian empanadas at Jacaranda, as well as their own cakes and other sweets, fill all the tables in this small Horta establishment worth making a pilgrimage to.
El Raval
Pa de Kilo. It has everything: amazing focaccias, glorious loaves of bread, addictive sweets, and the possibility to buy NOMAD packs in their delishop. And surprise! They are setting up a bar so that you can soon enjoy a delicious coffee served by a barista.

Öss Kaffe. In one of the busiest streets in El Raval, next to the MACBA square, Öss Kaffe is your go-to place for good coffee in the neighborhood.
Lodetto. A cyclist’s mood in this corner open to the El Raval neighborhood, where coffee energizes the legs of the pedaling crowd.
