Lletraferit

20s / 30s / Ambient / Art Gallery

Party Earth Review Coffee, tea, books, and art are the core ingredients at Lletraferit, all folded inside a spoken-word burrito and topped off with a hearty dollop of cocktails.

18 and over / 20s / 30s / Ambient

Party Earth Review Although the café at Barcelona’s Wax Museum seems an unlikely place of interest, El Bosc de les Fades (The Forest of the Fairies) has done a terrific job of creating an enchanted glade where patrons can sip coffee or cocktails amid trickling waterfalls and the twisted branches of gigantic tropical trees. The main room offers ... more

Party Earth Review Tucked away in a sequestered courtyard near La Seu Cathedral, Caj Chai is a romantic tea house that serves infusions from every corner of the globe, though it specializes in the Far East. Leaves picked during the humid autumn in the Himalayan mountains are no ordinary leaves, and Caj Chai’s menu advises customers of all ... more

Cafè de l’Òpera

40s / Artsy / Beer / Blouses / Casual

Party Earth Review Kitschy tourist traps abound along the famous Las Ramblas stretch, but Cafè de l'Òpera – in business since the 1920s – isn’t just another overpriced coffee shop. True, folks might pony up an extra Euro or two for items here, but the Art Nouveau-style interior usually offers enough free tables for anyone who wants to take ... more

Schilling

Party Earth Review A corner location on Carrer de Ferran, which connects Las Ramblas with the bustling Plaça Sant Jaume, certainly benefits gay-friendly Schilling, making it a great place to people-watch with a coffee during the day and to chill with something a little harder at night.

Bauma

30s / 40s / Bar / Blazers / Breakfast

Party Earth Review Bauma definitely benefits from its central location off the busy Avinguda Diagonal, and though it’s definitely not a place to go in search of a raging party, this old-style café and bar makes for a cozy spot to spend a few hours while exploring L'Eixample.

Barcelona Cafés Overview

Because the city is known for wild parties and incredibly late nights, there are tons of cafés in Barcelona that make for both laid-back alternatives to the crazy party scene and surefire hangover spots for day after recovery.

Cafés are obviously spread all throughout the city and can be found from the streets of Barri Gòtic to the hustle and bustle of Las Ramblas. There are Barcelona cafés of all shapes and sizes, from brunch and lunch spots, and tea houses, to late night bar café hybrids that lubricate the night before the heavy party scene kicks in.

The cafés are great for eating tapas or maybe drinking a little sangria, but mostly they’re the perfectly chill settings for afternoon tea or coffee, doing a little work, reading a book, having a daytime date, or hanging out with friends.

Caj Chai is a popular café in Barri Gòtic but also doubles as a tea house where a mellow all-ages crowd pops in daily to get a caffeine fix and while away the hours. El Bosc de les Fades, meanwhile, is an off-the-wall café inside a wax museum that could also be considered a haunted house.

Regardless of which café you choose, in Barcelona there’s always a cup of coffee waiting, friendly company to be had, and a laid-back setting to relax in.
