    The zucchini fritters is just godly, the texture and the taste is just too perfect...combine it with their awesome cup of their speciality iced latte, life couldn't get any better. If you are a lover of perfect awesome experience definitely worth checking out The Alchemist Cafe. If you are lucky enough you might find the real Alchemist making the magical coffee and all of his super special things like 🥭 Mango Lassi and ultra delicious 🧊 iced Matcha Latte with a very beautiful latte art, that just makes you think should I drink it or just look at it forever and drink with my eyes 👀 because it's also a visual treat and an experience worth experienceing.

    Amazing experience! The coffee from El Salvador made such a difference! If you are a huge fan of coffee you should definitely go there. Try the Cranberry, tropical fruits and butter flavour expresso. They also have the most delicious cookies!

    One of the best coffee places in Barcelona is right in front of the beach. A wide variety of coffees and sandwiches The staff is super friendly and helpful. The place by itself is perfect for a quick coffee break or as a working space; it's cozy and quiet.

    I was recommended this place by a friend. One of the nicest experiences while having a coffee or a croffle which is the coolest invention ever! It has a really calm and natural vibe filled with beautiful plants! If you are in Barcelona definitely must stop by! The Barista is also super attentive, and both of them know their way around coffee! Will be back every time I can! 🫶🏼

    Nice place with plants :) Great coffee - we tried Columbia (quite sour/acidic for our taste), the Brasilia was better. They also offer oat milk which is perfect. There was just one type of dessert. Thanks!

  • 5/5 Vinayek S. 6 months ago on Google
    Super artsy cafe with nice mellow vibes, chill music and a lot of smiling faces. The coffee is good but the cookies and sandwiches are to die for! A great spot to chill before or after a beach day as it's super close to Nova icaria. Highly recommended!

    One of the best speciality coffee shops on Barcelona. Wide variety of quality choices served at a welcoming warm environment, just like coffee should be like.

  • 5/5 Kris H. 1 year ago on Google
    A coffee lovers dream. Top quality brew. Unlike anything else you’ll find in Barcelona. A genuine speciality roast coffee spot. The staff know their stuff. Toasties and pastries are solid quality too. Perfect place for coffee, catch up, reading or some writing. If you’re after a decent coffee in Barcelona this is a not to miss experience. Just near the beach so easy stop pre swim
