A lovely spot with a chill atmosphere, a simple menu done well and great coffee. The service is friendly but not pushy and the music is really good. A nice place for brunch with friends or just to read a book. Also dogs are welcome. Great value too - what more do you want!

(Translated by Google) La Masala has become my refuge since 2018. I go when I am very happy or very sad because both the treatment of the owners and the coffee and pastries is excellent and always puts me in a good mood. The treatment is unbeatable, they make you feel like you are at home and they are always very friendly. Regarding coffee, it is undoubtedly the best in Barcelona and by far (tip: try it with oat milk). Afterwards, they offer vegan options and that is always appreciated. For vegan people like me, there is porridge, vegan bagel, and they always have a vegan cake or muffins at our disposal. They often say that the price is somewhat expensive, but honestly I think it is a super fair price for products and a service of such good quality. We are used to the very low prices of cafeteria chains that are worth nothing, and the Masala is worth it and we should know how to value it properly. Everything is delicious and it is the best place to go and have a good coffee and try the delicious things they have to eat. La Masala is a MUST. (Original) La Masala se ha convertido desde 2018 en mi refugio. Voy cuando estoy muy feliz o muy triste porque tanto el trato de los dueños como el café y la repostería es excelente y siempre me pone de buen humor. El trato es inmejorable, te hacen sentir como si estuvieras en casa y son muy amables siempre. Respecto al café, es sin duda el mejor de Barcelona y con muchísima diferencia (truco: probadlo con leche de avena). Después, ofrecen opciones veganas y eso siempre se agradece. Para personas veganas como yo hay porridge, bagel vegano, y siempre tienen a nuestra disposición o bizcocho o muffins veganos. Suelen decir que el precio es algo caro, pero sinceramente me parece un precio super justo por unos productos y un servicio de tan buena calidad. Estamos acostumbrados a los precios bajísimos de cadenas de cafeterías que no valen nada, y la Masala lo vale y habría que saber valorarlo como es debido. Todo está riquísimo y es el mejor sitio para ir a tomarte un buen café e ir probando las cosas ricas que tienen para comer. La Masala es un MUST.

Great service; friendly and local atmosphere. Food and coffee were great! (I ordered a second coffee because the first was so good)

Really nice place, a bit hidden in the narrow streets of el Born, the coffee was really good and creamy, the service was kind even if a bit slow. I loved the cosy furniture, you can choose between a sofa, a table or a spot on a stool at the window. Nice, small and quiet place to study or work on your laptop!

Excellent place to start your day. Fantastic food with great service and superb decor and atmosphere. I'd definitely return here again when ever I'm in Barcelona. I also like the fact that they do not do WIFi, making it a place for food, coffee and real conversation and not just another laptop happy cafe. Top marks

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, the best latte I've found in Barcelona. Comfortable and with a very relaxed atmosphere. (Original) Sin duda, el mejor latte que he encontrado en Barcelona. Cómodo y con un ambiente muy relajado.

Wonderful little coffee shop in the heart of Born 1 minute from the beautiful Placa Sant Pere, on Sant Pere Mitja. Well-made coffee, cosmopolitan clientele, cosy & quiet atmosphere - a real nook for readers and writers.

(Translated by Google) Surely one of the best coffee in Barcelona. One of the few comfortable places and that the coffee is excellent. I come several times during the week, customer service is very good and my cappuccino never fails. I love croissant-style brioches and bagels with cream cheese and tomato. In the Born district there are few places, perhaps none, like this one. I recommend 100%! (Original) Seguramente uno de los mejores cafe de Barcelona. Uno de los pocos lugares cómodos y que el cafe es excelente. Vengo varias veces durante la semana, la atención al cliente es muy buena y mi cappuccino nunca falla. Me encantan los brioches estilo croissant y los bagels con cream cheese y tomate. En el barrio del Born hay pocos sitios, quizás ninguno, como este. Recomiendo 100%!

Nice little hidden gem, good coffee and good pastry reall good also for laptop work or study

A nice spot in el borne. Food and coffee both good quality. Service is good and kind. You may have to wait a little bit in the rush hour.

Simply blown away! Such an amazing place! Very cosy place with a great menu (love that they have non-coffee options (such as Masala team) unlike other "coffee only" places in the area). Drinks (try the Masala tea) and food (classic avo toast - see photo) were great and fair price. Lastly, staff was suuuuper nice. Note that this is a no wifi place which I personally appreciate. Highly recommended!

Great coffee. Recommend bagel 16 🤗

(Translated by Google) Super nice and impeccable service. Very rich food and one of the best coffees in Barcelona at a super reasonable price for the quality it has. (Original) Servicio súper agradable e impecable. La comida muy rica y uno de los mejores cafés de Barcelona a un precio súper razonable para la calidad que tiene.

Great Coffee, excellent service and cosy atmosphere. Do you need anything else? You are in the old quarter of Barcelona where industrial textile workshops helped to create the Fortune of Catalunya. All that's gone, artists and bars, Restaurants came, poor people had to leave. Now everyone is living the dream in hipster paradise, but why not enjoy life; relax in the middle of that story and celebrate witha really good coffee on top of that?

Incredibly nice place for breakfast in Barcelona. Every dish that I've tasted was amazing. Plus charming service and design.

(Translated by Google) I love this coffee, everything is delicious. Only downside is the schedule! Closes early and doesn't open on Saturdays! Nothing would be better than enjoying your toasts on a Saturday morning. (Original) Me encanta este café, todo riquísimo. Única pega es el horario! Cierra pronto y no abre los sábados! Nada estaría mejor que disfrutar de sus tostadas un sábado a la mañana.

I'm super picky when it comes to Cafés, but i must confess that this place is my favourite spot in whole Barcelona! The coffee and atmosphere are amazing! I didn't try the brunch but the coffee is honestly insane! Eye to the details, amazing beans, oatmilk, temperature... All on point! I can highy recommend this cute, soulful, cozy place!

(Translated by Google) A very quiet and pleasant place. The masala chai and the good pastry (Original) Un local muy tranquilo y agradable. El masala chai y la reposteria buena

(Translated by Google) Very comfortable place, with sofas and low music. The coffee is from Nomad, very good (artisan style, just 1.8 a café con leche, very cheap for the quality and for being in Barcelona). They also have to go. The banana bread is homemade, very good texture and very good flavor. EDIT: My fault, the coffee is from Tusell Roasters and not from Nomad as I thought. But boy is it great what is important :) (Original) Lugar muy cómodo, con sofas y música baja. El café es de Nomad, muy bueno (estilo artesanal, solo 1,8 un café con leche, muy barato por la calidad y por ser en Barcelona). También tienen para llevar. El banana bread es casero, muy buena textura y muy buen sabor. EDIT: Fallo mío, el café es de Tusell Tosadores y no de Nomad como pensaba. Pero vaya que está genial que es lo importante :)

(Translated by Google) Think and aromatic espresso was amazing. A cafe where you can enjoy a very delicious espresso. The clerks are also very polite and gentle people, so it is a great place to take a break while sightseeing. (Original) Small but wonderful place for taking a rest. Think and aromatic espresso was amazing. とても美味しいエスプレッソを頂けるカフェ。店員さんもとても丁寧で優しい人で落ち着ける雰囲気なので、観光中の休憩にもってこいです。

Perfect place for a rich and healthy breakfast with great juices and coffe.

(Translated by Google) The coffee on this site is wonderful, one of the best I've ever tasted. (Original) El café de este sitio es maravilloso, uno de los mejores que he probado nunca.

Found this little hole in the wall La Masala Cafe based on so many good reviews and I could not agree more! What a lovely place, very cozy for a coffee and quick bite to eat or a heavy breakfast with breakfast bagel sandwiches and eggs and toasts! The XL latte and cappuccino are delicious and the chefs and owners are very kind and work so hard with a smile on their face! Thankful for the complimentary water as well considering many Cafes in Barcelona charge for water. Thank you for a delicious brunch to start our day of walking!

(Translated by Google) Very good 🤎🤎🤎 (Original) 너무 좋음 🤎🤎🤎

(Translated by Google) This place has a soul that falls in love. I loved it (Original) Este lugar tiene un alma que enamora. Me gustó mucho

Dog freindly plave. They have the best croissant in barcelona and their chai masala is just tasty

Great coffee and location

(Translated by Google) Very good site (Original) Muy buen sitio

(Translated by Google) Super cozy little cafe. Both coffee and breakfast are delicious! (Original) Pequeña cafetería super acogedora. Tanto el café como los desayunos están riquísimos!

Nice decoration and great dark roasted coffee with a hint of cocao. They also have breakfast option which is rare for a small coffee shop. Friendly staffs, english well spoken. Not too many seats though but if you don't mind sharing big table or counter, that should be fine.

(Translated by Google) There are few things comparable to having a coffee in the "Masala Café". And it is hard to describe the perception of things. I could talk about harmony, good taste, dedication, kindness. But this coffee goes beyond that. A small well-decorated place where peace is breathed. An owner who can convert thirty seconds of preparing coffee in an elegant and precise ritual. Expert hands in the kitchen, from where well-balanced dishes and juices come out; very nice The Masala Café is a stronghold of charisma. Indispensable (Original) Hi ha poques coses comparables a prendre's un cafè en el "Masala Café". I és que costa descriure la percepció de les coses. Podria parlar d'harmonia, de bon gust, de dedicació, d'amabilitat. Però aquest cafè va més enllà d'això. Un petit local ben decorat on s'hi respira pau. Un propietari capaç de convertir els trenta segons de la preparació del café en un ritual elegant i precís. Mans expertes a la cuina, d'on surten plats i sucs ben equilibrats; boníssims. La Masala Cafè és un reducte de carisma. Indispensable

Amazing coffee! Very good and pleasant service and the interior of the place is so very cute and cozy, could stay there whole day reading or writing. Inspiring little place with definitely one of the best coffees in town!!

Absolutely fabulous place. Great food, great and professional service and excellent coffee. I can recommend to everyone who is by now a little fed up with the arrogant new wave super underground coffee places. This place proves that kindness and great food are the most important elements of a nice place. I guess.

They recently did some refurbishment. Very good vibes here. The below pictures speak for themselves. Nice place for a cup of good coffee. Pretty!

Cute small cafe with lovely service, great coffee and delicious food. I have been here with my girlfriend and we had a really nice time - the staff is very warm and smiley, the food (we had the Musli and fried eggs with avocado and tomatoes) really fresh and tasty. We'll for sure come back!

Possibly the best coffee shop of our trip! The avocado toast was fresh, with herbs and spices that gave it a great balanced flavor. The chocolate croissant was flaky and had plenty of chocolate without being overwhelming. The coffee was well balanced and tasty. The ambiance was warm and comfortable, the service was friendly, and each dish was beautifully presented.

Amazing coffee and cosy atmosphere! Very calm street in the heart of Born

The breakfast is phenomenal. The hummus toast is to die for, I sincerely recommend it.

Fantastic coffee. Great atmosphere in the Cafe. Wonderful owners. Very good prices.

Very nice breakfast cafe and super friendly owners. LOVED the dirty chais and avocado toast

(Translated by Google) Ideal place for breakfast, brunch ... Very nice and cozy space. High quality food and made with great detail. Essential (Original) Lloc ideal per esmorzar, fer un brunch...Espai molt agradable i acollidor. Menjar de molta qualitat i fet amb molt de detall. Imprescindible

I am absolutely in love with this Cafe! All food and drinks were high quality and delicious! Server was extremely friendly, multi-lingual and told us to just get up and move tables if we felt like it. An adorable little cafe a little hidden from everything, seemingly run by a family. Highly recommend the bagels and the orange juice. Loved so much I ate 2 bagels. The price was Shockingly low! only payed 11 euros for 2 full bagels and a juice!

Lovely place. We were on the way for another cafe, but this one stood out on our way there that we decided to enter there. Very good oat lattes, great atmosphere and polite staff.

Amazing sweet little secret cozy place. We loved it, and the little bagels and brownies and sandwiches were amazing. The matcha latte isn't for everyone, but it was very lovely served. The masala Chai was amazing. It's a very calming place, to relax and calm down. We loved it.

A very lovely experience, delicious breakfast and very friendly staff. You could see that the Barista was devoted to the coffee he was making. They were two persons serving people and making breakfast and coffee and were putting 200% effort. Highly recommended

I randomly found this place and LOVED it, the food was so fresh, not to sound funny but tomatoes were incredibly delicious and avocado was so creamy. The lady who was serving me had such great attitude towards customers. Thanks for making my trip here have a good start.

Perfection. The people, the atmosphere, the espresso, the toast.... fantastic!❤ I have been here several times. Once you find a gem you have to go back again and again!

Great coffee! The best in Gothic Quarter!

Absolutely love this place! Vibes are great, both food and coffee are amazing! But no Wi-Fi though!

Had some hours to spend in Barcelona while waiting my coming flight so, I was looking for a chill quite place and La masala was a great choice. Good coffee, chai with vegan apple cake. Alejandra was so lovely the whole place was just so welcoming 🙏🏻

Most gorgeous bagel brunch! Scrumptious kimchi! Great service! Lovely cool place to chill and relax with tasty food!

Such a lovely cafe! We ended up coming here 3 times during our trip to Barcelona, and every time it was delicious. The staff is very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

It a small cafe in the neighbourhood and nice coffee good deco :) totally amazing if u want to rest for a bit or work .. like the people there are friendly !

Great little cafe, with a passionate Barista serving up great coffee.

Such a great spot! Small but so homey. The coffees and juices were delicious and the food menu was also fresh and yummy. Couldn’t go wrong with any of the choices here! Staff was also super nice!

Really cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Reasonably priced and service was great.

(Translated by Google) They don't touch decaf (Original) No tocan el descafeinado

Cozy cafe with excellent latte at a reasonable price. Very limited selection of desserts or pastries. Single person ran the shop and he was very polite, made and served coffee. One downside is no WiFi

(Translated by Google) Nice space and the treatment of the owners very close (Original) Espacio agradable y el trato de los dueños muy cercano

(Translated by Google) A place where you find tranquility to have a good coffee without rushing. A great coffee! Very attentive staff (Original) Un lugar donde encuentras tranquilidad para tomar un buen cafe sin prisas. Un cafe buenisimo! Personal muy atento

(Translated by Google) A very good first impression from the outside, but we have been disappointed. We were waiting outside for a table for 2, for breakfast, when a girl (short blonde / gray hair, tall) very kindly told us to wait, a table had been cleared and we were immediately seated. When we were going to enter, a group of 3 people passed us and the waitress basically sneaked them in front of us, when we had arrived earlier, and offered us a tiny bar with two stools. It seemed very, very unfair to us, we really wanted to try it because of how good it looks and its coffee and in the end we were disappointed. We were waiting before, we don't understand what reason has led her to that attitude, but we didn't like it at all. That table is supposed to be ours, whether 3, 4 or 15 come. I do not know if we will happen again, if we do we hope to be cared for in a better way, and we do not say it because of the attitude of the girl herself since she has been friendly from the beginning, but her decision and behavior has not been adequate. He has prioritized 3 people and has left 2 hanging just because. (Original) Una primera impresión desde fuera muy buena, pero nos hemos llevado una decepción. Estabamos esperando fuera por una mesa para 2, para desayunar, cuando una chica (pelo rubio/gris corto, alta) muy amablemente nos ha dicho que esperásemos, se había levantado una mesa y enseguida nos sentaba. Cuando ibamos a entrar, un grupo de 3 personas ha pasado por delante nuestro y la camarera básicamente las ha colado por delante nuestro, cuando nosotras habíamos llegado antes, y nos ha ofrecido una barra minúscula con dos tamburetes. Nos ha parecido muy muy injusto, teníamos muchas ganas de probar por la buena pinta que tiene y su café y al final nos hemos llevado un chasco. Estabamos esperando antes, no entendemos qué motivo ha sido el que la ha conducido a esa actitud, pero no nos ha gustado nada. Se supone que esa mesa era nuestra, ya vengan 3, 4 o 15. No sé si volveremos a pasar, si lo hacemos esperamos ser atendidas de mejor manera, y no lo decimos por la actitud de la chica en sí ya que ha sido amable desde el principio, pero su decisión y comportamiento no ha sido el adecuado. Ha priorizado a 3 personas y ha dejado colgado a 2 porque si.

(Translated by Google) Excellent coffee at a good price. Very friendly service. Nice local. (Original) Excelente café a buen precio. Servicio muy amable. Local agradable.

(Translated by Google) Very slow service and bad attention. (Original) Servicio muy lento y mala atención.

Amazing and beautiful spot for a coffee break in the city. The brioche with Brie was delicious, no words to explain how amazing it was. And... the coffee from Tusell Tostadores, OMG!! Thanks for the attention and the eye for detail in everything. 100% recommended!!

(Translated by Google) If you wish you can find here, if desired coffee (Original) Si lo desea puede encontrar aquí, si café deseado

Great coffee and friendly staff

Very friendly staff and delicious coffee! I had the bagel with avocado and it was perfect!

(Translated by Google) Good place to have a masala chai. They have good quality homemade baked goods made in the day. In this case, I ordered a slice of vegan apple pie to accompany the chai. (Original) Buen lugar para tomar un masala chai. Tienen productos de repostería caseros de buena calidad y hechos en el día. En este caso, pedí una porción de tarta de manzana vegana para acompañar el chai.
