I had heard so much before coming to Barcelona about visiting the chocolate and candy shops in the Gothic quarter and didn't really appreciate it until I walked into this shop. If this was in the states you would definitely refer to it as a boutique candy shop. Very unique textures and flavors but all of them very very, very tasty.

Absolutely loved Torrons Vicens! There were so many different types of torron (nougats) and…read morechocolates and they let me sample lots of them. The young ladies handing out the samples were friendly and so generous with the samples; they kept urging me to try different ones and, believe me, I didn't need much encouragement! I love nougat! I love the softer nougats with almonds best, but I also had some with pistachios and fruits. The best was the one with almonds and chocolate! The bars come in different sizes, so if you want quick and easy-to-handle souvenirs to take home, this might be it. I think the smaller bars were 3.95 Euros while the larger bars were 9.95 Euros. My friend purchased a large box of the round ones before she realized they had smaller boxes and they graciously allowed her to exchange her purchase. Service was very quick and friendly. Wish there was a shop like this near my home; I'd be there quite often!!

This is definitely somewhere you should stop in Barcelona if you have a sweet tooth…read more I had the hot chocolate without whipped cream. It was such a treat. One cup is definitely enough to share! I loved the dishes the chocolate was served in. They have a nice gift shop and a sitting area for the cafe. The cafe area also has salads, sandwiches, coffee, and pastries. Considering how busy the area is, the cafe was not busy at all when I went. I was easily able to find a seat and did not have to wait in line which was a huge plus

We tried one of their chocolate desserts, a chocolate chip cookie and a matcha drink. All of them were great.. so great that I ended up buying a pistachio brookie to go. To this day we regret not buying more stuff to bring back home. The service was great and quick. The place was clean and cute to dine in with a few tables! Overall I'd definitely stop by if I'm in Barcelona again!

Had to try a gluten free bakery while in Barcelona of course (one of many). Chok is for chocolate…read morebut they didn't sell any actual chocolates... but there was a rotation of special flavored cinnamon rolls, rookies, brownies, mini cakes, cookies, and cheesecakes. There were a few loaves of bread but mostly there were those sweets and it seems they have those all the time. We got a regular cinnamon roll because the flavored ones didn't have as much of the frosting on it which is the best part, and a pistachio cream rookie... no im not sure what a rookie is but it looked like a Levain cookie (the famous one from NY) as it was a mountain of a dessert. We had both treats heated up... although they weren't actually hot lol. The cinnamon roll was on par with others I've had, maybe even slightly drier but the frosting was amazing and I still enjoyed it a lot. The rookie was quite decadent and the inside was an almost cake texture? Still quite tasty but I think both would've knocked it out of the park if they were actually hot and ooey gooey. Five stars because it wasn't bad but I can't say I'm super impressed. I will be going to other gf bakeries over this one

Friendly and informative, for tourists like moi, her English was great. We got the churros con chocalat which comes in 3 flavors of chocolate. Milk, dark, caramel.

I would suggest making your way down here and trying the churros for a slightly different and more indulgent dip.

Two Nights in a Row -- That Says It All!…read more This is officially our spot that we had to come back to for the second time while in Barcelona! There are definitely plenty of places for churros with chocolate around the city, but stumbling upon this one totally changed my perspective on dark chocolate. I used to be a white chocolate gal, but now I've come to realize that dark chocolate can be so decadent -- slightly bitter with the perfect amount of sweetness. Honestly, it was rich, smooth, and totally drinkable. The churros were nicely fried -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside -- and paired perfectly with that delicious dark chocolate. So good that we came back two nights in a row, which rarely happens when we're traveling. Very nice service, cozy vibe, and definitely a must-stop sweet treat while in Barcelona. Happy eats!

Los que han viajado un poco sabrán que LEONIDAS es un estándar en Bélgica, Francia, Holanda y otros tantos paises... donde prácticamente hay una tienda por cada pueblo importante.

Y si les digo que el precio está por debajo de nuestros mejores bombones nacionales, se preguntarán ¿cómo puede ser? Todavía no lo sé pero algún día lo descubriré... Sea como sea, los LEONIDAS me apasionan y les puedo asegurar que ver como los sirven en la tienda que tienen en Barcelona, es todo un espectáculo que una no puede perderse... ¡ Un 10 !
