😠 Barely average quality for an excessively expensive price. Prices are only indicated if specifically asked for. Some products are "just" expensive, others are a wholehearted rip-off. Definetely a very bad option for non-locals/tourists, it's set up as a tourist trap. People often mention coffee, good, nice, quick,

    Amazing bakery. Everything was fantastic. We had tea, chocolate croissants and cheese-tomati sandwiches. All was tasty, the bread was fresh as can be. They also have free wifi, so that's a plus.

    Ordered an iced moka latte and it was one of the worst things I've ever tasted. Super sweet, the coffee tasted burned at the end and they add some artificial sirup that sticks to the bottom of the cup. The best part was the industrialized cream on top. The ambiance is nice inside if you want to read a book, hence the 2 stars.

    Coffee is ok. I had a mini chocolate croissant 🥐 which was nice. But I don’t understand why no one smiles? It feels like I am fighting to order. And the nice ladies were making a very loud noise with the plates.

    Below average service. No smiles. The older lady looks arrogant and grumpy. 😠 The younger one is nicer. The food is average. Not much selection. Pastry items are all cold. Water for the tea tastes like tepid tap water. Coffee is the only standout. If you want to take photos of the resto, forget it - the grumpy old staff will shout "no photo!" Since the staff don't speak a word of English, they will not smile or be helpful (they only do so with Spanish speakers). Avoid this place unless you need you caffeine fix. Uggh! ☹️

    I needed some caffeine to recharge and glad I came by this shop. It serves a variety of pastries, coffee and sandwiches. Service is quick and you have the option of sitting down or take it to go. I found a spot where I could sit, so decided to enjoy my cappuccino and my white chocolate croissant. Not a bad option for a nice hot cup of coffee.

    Great and nice staff. Coped well with the difficult tourists in front of us in the queue.

  • 1/5 Johanna Q. 11 months ago on Google
    The coffee is good, orange juice awesome, but overpriced at €4.35 for a cup. The croissants are awful. Was a few days old and I couldn't even eat it, it was so bad. Hard and the dough was already dried up. Shame on you for selling this! I took it to go

  • 4/5 Samiya A. 8 months ago on Google
    The croissant was ok, felt like it was day-old. Coffee was good (as always in Europe). Atmosphere was nice

    Great spot for a quick bite and coffee. Good to know some general Catalan/Spanish phrases to help with ordering.

  • 5/5 Mohammad E. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful spot for breakfast/brunch or even a quick coffee. Many sandwich and wrap options that are delicious. The mini stuffed croissants are soooo good. The Vanilla Latte Macchiato is my coffee of choice here.

    The coffee latte not perfect and more milky. Food is good. The big problem they cannot speak any English. So basically not good choice for tourists

    Their ham and cheese brioche is DELICIOUS ! Cappuccino was perfect! Friendly staff and quick service. We ate twice here !

  • 4/5 Catalin N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place located in the city centre. Pretty good for a quick bite or a coffee early in the morning. I would say they definitely have better sweet pastries than salty pastries. Their inside is also cozy and nicely decorated
