Background
About Chromatic Café
The Story
Chromatic Café is a small specialty-coffee bar tucked into a corner of Carrer de les Carolines in Gràcia, a stone's throw from Gaudí's Casa Vicens. It pours coffee roasted by Three Marks, one of Barcelona's own specialty roasters, and the menu leans on espresso-based drinks a cortado here is well brewed alongside matcha and a rotating handful of other specialty pours. The room is beautifully designed and compact, with the coffee bar taking centre stage and seating both at the front and toward the back, so you can settle in for a few minutes rather than just grab and go. It doubles as a little pantry: they sell a wide range of Three Marks coffees to take home, plus ceramics and locally produced food and wine. It's a coffee-first neighbourhood spot in Gràcia rather than a full kitchen.
