I can see why this place is a 5 star classic. Despite being in a relatively touristy location in…read morethe old town gothic quarter, this small unassuming shop is widely popular with lines a common sight. However the menu is simple and like moves quickly. There are a few counter seats or take it to go. The star are the churros and hot chocolate. Churros are made fresh- you can watch them make it through the window. Simple without any sugar or cinnamon, yet fresh , delicious and airy. The chocolate is thick , decadent , and perfect for dipping. You can also try adding milk but I prefer the chocolate without any additions. Cost is 5.2 euro for plate or churros and cup of chocolate. I've tried some other churro spots but I keep coming back here every time I'm in Barcelona!

So good!!

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!

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

Slightly expensive for Barcelona but honestly still a really good deal and it's SO SO GOOD. Some flavors cost more but it's so worth it. I ate this in winter ish almost spring time so I can't imagine how good it hits on a hot summer day. I am obsessed with the rollo de Canella aka the cinnamon roll... yes it's gluten free (almost all their flavors are ugh love it)... it has actual crunch cinnamon roll cluster things idk what they are but love it and it's so cinnamony and not too sweet somehow. I am also obsessed with the dulce le deche... rich and yummy and love. I also had one that was vanilla and chocolate and orange... refreshing!! I tried like three or four flavors and it was welcomed! I literally came back two days later before my trip ended. Note there are three stools but that's it - more of a grab and walk place

All of them were absolutely scrumptious and left me wanting more after I finished my cup! The 4.9 rating on Yelp is definitely well deserved. The business is located on one of the small narrow streets on the edge of the Gothic quarter. It's definitely a place you will need to be purposely searching for as this business does not jump out at you until you are right on top of it. As it is a narrow business with limited seating, it will be hit or miss if you get an inside table as most of the sales that were happening while I was there was takeout. Just something to keep in mind if you're looking for sit down dining. Overall, I rarely have had ice cream this good and if you are a fan of well-made ice cream then this is a business you should definitely check out if you are in the Gothic quarter.

The market's natural perimeter is dotted with sit-down cafes if you prefer to have table service. Organized, good variety, good atmosphere.
