Barcelona, Spain
Mono Cafe
Modern, minimal, all-white, all-day cafe with good coffee, food, drinks, and good hours (until ~20:00). Steps from the Metro.
Granja M. Viader
Simple, casual cafe + deli serving traditional Catalan pastries, sandwiches, desserts. The churros and hot chocolate are great.
PetNat
Tapas and natural wine in a cute, small, two-story space. Well-curated selection of wine by the glass or by the bottle. Slightly expensive relative to other options, but worth it.
La Ikas
Quaint, simple cafe with a very cute + intimate courtyard in the back. Open late, and somehow always the right amount of busy.
Hidden Coffee El Born
Great coffee with a good amount of space, wifi, and power outlets. Baristas know a lot about coffee and they always have a few different beans to choose from.
Henry's Bar
Owner is from Bushwick and it shows; bar feels like a piece of NYC. Great cocktails, 70's American-diner-style burgers (incl. veggie options), and a cool divey interior.
Dr. Stravinsky
Imaginative cocktails in a cool, multi-story interior. Awesome place to camp out with a book and people-watch from the lofted area. Lots of unique ingredients in the drinks.
La Central
Big library with a beautiful interior courtyard and cafe. Good spot to camp out with a book or laptop for a whole day, with coffee, beer, wine, and food.
Poblenou Fresh Coffee Roaster
Great coffee roaster with a large, very well lit space. Was very quiet when I visited which made it a great place to take calls.
Bocanariz Wine Bar
Probably the best wine bar I've ever been to. Incredible food (the strachietella is delicious) and a great selection by the glass or bottle. Many natural, organic, and local Catalan wines.
Bar Manifest
Natural wine bar with vintage JBL speakers. Food is pretty decent, and if they're not busy are fine with laptops in the back couches or bar area.
Bar Sauvage
Cozy bar that has weirdly good cocktails for how party-ish the atmosphere is. There's a downstairs area with a DJ setup on the weekends.
Right Side Coffee Bar
Some of the best coffee in Barcelona with a cool, modern, minimalist interior. Some space to sit. It's more expensive than most of the other cafes in the city.
Sabio Infante
Laid-back cafe with brunch, great espresso, and craft beers in an interesting space with eclectic decor and weird widgets all over. Wifi but no power outlets.
