La Cherry Coffee Co.

Specialty Coffee

€€€€

is a specialty-coffee company and small café tucked into La Dreta de l'Eixample, a short walk from the Sagrada Família on Carrer de Lepant.

Xiloteca Coffee + Botiga

Specialty Coffee

€€€€

Xiloteca is the kind of place that rewires how you think about a coffee shop. Founders Alexei Morales (originally from Cuba) and Cameron Rosenbrock (an Australian who worked in Melbourne venues before moving to Spain) built it as "a shop with coffee" rather than a sit-down café a response to Barcelona's restrictions on new hospitality licences and to their shared love of graphic design and locally made goods.
