What a treat a small espresso bar serving beautifully crafted coffee under the shadows of the old Roman wall. Made multiple trips during our visit and was always impressed. Even got some restaurant advice from the Barista.

COTO! Probably THE cutest spot in the city, that happens to have incredibly tasty coffee, too. Love how this place manages to strike the balance between having high quality specialty coffee, while having you feel like it‘s the most casual experience ever! I always get iced cafe late, but ask the owner what he recommends, he is very nice! Also my favourite activity while waiting in line there: looking at all the pretty goodies, snacks and bevvies he is selling there, secret spot to get gifts from!

The shop is very cute, tucked down an unassuming street far away from the crowds. It is full of amazing little gifts from mugs to espresso cups. I loved the decor, vibrant colours and funky illustrations. Double espresso - beautifully made, strong notes of caramel. Almost thick espresso packed full of flavour.

Hands down the best specialty coffee I’ve had since arriving in Europe. Cameron knows his stuff. FRESH fresh milk and the backing of experience from Melbourne’s coffee scene leads to coffee that is the real deal. So good I had to have a second one before leaving. I’ll be back every day I’m in Barcelona and will be sad to leave it behind when we move on to France.

By some way the best espresso we had in Barcelona so far. Lovely little hidden shop with all kinds of beautiful artisanal gins, natural wines, ceramics. Gorgeous

Best latte in barcelona! So good I bought the espresso to make at home but nothing compares to the in store experience! Super cute shop with amazing goodies and lovely owner!

This is a tucked away coffee spot with delicious coffee. The place is fun with vibrant colours and unique gifts from ceramics to speciality wines. We popped in quickly for a coffee and only wished we had more time in Barcelona to go back!

Such an adorable coffee shop. I honestly just stumbled across it on one of my walks around town. I absolutely love the interiors and the pink theme. The coffees are also great, probably because the owner is from Melbourne, Australia! I also love that they sell little goodies like hot sauce, paprika and wine. They make perfect gifts for people! I’m so sad I only discovered this place a week before I was due to leave Barcelona. It definitely would’ve been my local if I haven’t found it earlier!
