This place is amazing. Our Airbnb was across so we decided to drop in for breakfast. The breakfast was very fresh and delicious. On day one I tried the banana pancakes: fresh, tasty and light. My wife and daughter loved their avacode toast. The orange juice was fresh and sweet. The place was clean and the employees were friendly and professional. They work great together and they spoke English. read more

Ok. So be careful with this one. The yelp App will direct a location close to La Rambla that is no longer open. The real location is in Sant Annon. Once you find it is a solid choice for breakfast. There are multiple floors and Wi-Fi. Which is helpful as there is limited table side ordering and with the QR code on the table you will place your order through the site and the servers will then serve table-side. Another GF location for breakfast in Barca. . read more

We were looking for a place to have a bit to eat, that served breakfast. We found this after reviewing posts on Yelp, and so happy we went! Great service, friendly, prices and yummy delicious food! I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich guacamole, burrata and cherry tomatoes and my husband ordered the toasted brioche with ham and cheddar added bacon and a fried egg. I also ordered a latte, and a bottle of water. The vibe in Federal is relaxing and chill, just what we were looking for after walking here through the crowds. read more

Food was delicious, atmosphere nice and relaxing. Service was good but not overly friendly.

I am so happy I discovered federal cafe. The quality of the food is amazing and the service is so friendly! I actually came here twice during my four day trip to Barcelona.. and I ordered the same thing! I got the baked eggs with mushroom, spinach and Gruyere cheese and omg, they are amazing! The texture and flavor is spot on. I need to learn how to make this at home! I've also had the pancakes which is cooked to perfection as well. It's soft and yet crispy on the outside. My fiancé also ordered the omelette during our second visit and it was just ok- id skip it and stick with the baked eggs. read more

This is the perfect American travelers, super missing home, I just want some comfort food cafe. With that in mind, it's not super traditional for Spain; however it is amazing. The staff was friendly and had an all English menu. Don't be confused upon entering, they will seat you even if they don't welcome you immediately. Wait it out to avoid looks lol The food was good, drinks brewed well, and the WiFi was clutch. The aesthetic itself is worth the visit! read more

Most disappointing part was the service, one of the waitresses seemed bothered to be helping people. The food was a letdown: the pancakes were tough and over cooked, eggs Benedict had over cooked eggs. The coffee was really good and so was the dirty chai. Was excited to try and overall did not live up to the hype. read more

1 word...fresh. This place has a steady stream of people coming in and out. They have a communal table on the 1st floor for if you brought your laptop, you can eat and work on your laptop. That communal table is the only place you can work on your laptop. The place has many reminders were you cannot do that all over. The eggs benedict with bacon as well as the eggs and smoked trout were just fresh and delicious. I also had a chocolate and banana shake. Could not really taste the banana flavor. It was a nice shake. The people there are friendly and speak English, but you should try to learn the language while you are in their country. read more

This is the best place for (Australian) brunch in Barcelona in my opinion. The atmosphere is impeccable; very chill and trendy.

8 tables outside. All tables full. Only one person waiting tables. He was very nice (I think it is his first day), but way too busy for 1 person. Food was tasty, but cold. The owner/manager should be helping the wait staff. The manager doesn't care. Go somewhere else. Come here is you like cold eggs and cold potatoes. read more

What a cute little spot! I came here for my last meal in Barcelona for breakfast. We were seated quickly at a communal table. The waitress came over quickly and gave us menus. I ordered a latte (or coffee with milk) and my fiancé ordered an Americano. Both were very good!! I ordered the eggs benedict with spinach and my fiancé ordered the bacon morning burger. I don't 100% love a ton of spinach on my eggs benedict but they did not have an option with ham like there is in the USA so I went with the spinach. The food took a few minutes to come out but we didn't mind people watching while we waited. Mine had a tonnnnnnn of spinach on it so if you like spinach you will love this. I ended up taking some off because I'm not the biggest fan but besides that the taste was good. I tired the bacon morning burger and it was delicious!!! My fiancé loved it and from what I had I liked it too. It had an onion jam on it which was something we have never tasted before but it was great! I would suggest going here if you are in the mood for a cute breakfast/brunch spot with good food. The menu has a bunch of options as well and the coffee was great!!! read more

Rude AF!!!! From the moment we arrived, we were treated badly, did not care to accommodate us at one of their tables. Not American friendly

Friendly servers and modern decor, but the hot chocolate isn't the thick European stuff we were in the mood for. I get the feeling that their menu is just as the chocolate was - 100% American, though it had great presentation and excellent foam factor. I am sure the food is better! Update: came back for lunch and am glad I gave it another shot. My Caesar salad with grilled prawns was so delish. The prawns were fresh and flavorful, and the bacon on the salad was a perfect touch. Essentially an excellent salad! read more

Came here twice during our stay in town and it was perfect! Nicest staff and patrons, great food and coffee! Loved it!

This gem of a cafe has an upstares and downstairs. The menu is unique, the coffee perfect, and the bench window a lovely place for locals and vistiors to sit and enjoy some sunshine while catching up. There is a huge family style table where others will "join" you....talk or not. One day we vistited others, the next time I read a paper. read more

This might have been my favorite breakfast/brunch place from my trip (way better than Brunch & Cake). Just the fact that they have OAT MILK LATTES won me over. I forgot the name of what I had but it was basically like poached eggs and chorizo on toast. The chorizo was a little oily but it tasted so fresh! The upstairs was way more cozy, spacious and less crowded. The downstairs is more communal and has areas with outlets if you want to do computer work. They are also dog friendly and have free wifi! It's a little off the beaten path which is why I guess it isn't more touristy. The service could have definitely been friendlier. But overall everything else was amazing and inexpensive. read more

One of my favorite cafes in Barcelona. Fast wifi, great food, amazing gf baked goods. Oat milk latte is great as is their espresso. The community table in the middle is for laptops (no plugs though); side tables are for eating and for sitting and chatting. It's tucked away in a corner away from the hustle and bustle of the Gothic Quarter, which is a treat. read more

I had the iced tea (jasmine tea w/ mint and lychee), croissant with tomato, cheese and rocket (arugula), and bruschetta with smoked salmon, watercress and that cheese spread. I have no idea how this was so cheap considering this was by far the best breakfast I have ever had in my life, not to mention I also got a rooftop table next to beautiful French people with my friends. I am a college student on a budget and all 5 dishes and 3 drinks came out to a little less than $50. The staff was so friendly. The food was so fresh. America could never. Would come back to Barcelona for this restaurant specifically. read more

Good food. Large space with plenty of space between tables. Friendly service though somewhat slow in coming to take our order.

After being abroad for the last few weeks, I can honestly say I've had zero to no vegetables with any of my meals. When my poached eggs and toast arrived with half a plate of the vegetables I added on, I nearly cried out of happiness. I thought the 2 euros or so of each add on was going to be sparse and barely there, but it was SO worth the extra. Eggs were poached to perfection, the caramelized onions were sweet and jammy, and the spinach made me feel nourished. Love the space too. It has a community table alongside a couple other single tables. It's bright, airy, and open. I'd definitely say this is worthy of going to if you're in the area. read more

Federal Café - Veg filled breakfast, the way I like it! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Barcelona, B

Ferderal Cafe is a nice little spot with a lot of good brunch food and coffee. It's definately a hipster-vibe, bring-a-laptop-and-do-some-work kind of place. I got the eggs benedict with smoked salmon and it was great! The salmon was really flavorful, the eggs weren't as runny as I like them but they were still very good and the seasoning was great. The bread underneath wasn't too crunchy or too soggy. My wife got the mac and cheese and it wasn't bad. However, if it's a representation of its non brunch food, then my guess would be the non-brunch eats are just okay (although the apples in the mac and cheese were a nice spin to the dish). All the ingredients seemed fresh though which is awesome. As for service, the waiter was really nice but the manager/owner(?)/person in charge seemed annoyed that we weren't great in Spanish/Catalan. read more

This is a decent place for an upscale, American-style breakfast. When referring back to it later, my mom kept calling it "the Starbucks-y place", so that should give you an idea of the atmosphere. It was on the pricier side for Barcelona, but portions were big. I had a leek and goat cheese omelette. The first few bites were good, but the goat cheese was a strong, blue-cheese type and totally overwhelmed the other flavors. Leeks just aren't a very practical vegetable to put in an omelette, unless you're going to cut them into tiny pieces (which they didn't). They were really difficult to cut, and I ended up having to twirl them around my fork and eat them like spaghetti. The whole meal just felt like a lot of work, and by the end, it wasn't enjoyable. The coffee was good, and I would probably go back just for that if I were in the area, but I wouldn't eat there again. read more

Clean, Simple, and Quality ingredients are the key words to describe this place. I came here per the recommendations off of Yelp. I oped for the Potato latkes, served with smoked salmon and a dill creme fraiche. Also, for me it just isn't breakfast without an egg; I asked for a sunny side up egg in addition to my dish. The portion was perfect.. not big at all, but enough to feel satisfied at the end of finishing the entire thing. The prices are cheap (6.90€ for my main course, minus the egg), and you can definitely tell everything was fresh. However, the thing was that it was almost too simple. It was simply some fried potato shreds in the shape of a pancake, two slices of salmon, and no seasoning. This dish was begging for a dash of salt, pepper, and maybe even some garlic! My total for the dish, egg, and a glass of OJ put me back abotu 11€. Inexpensive, but nothing outstanding with flavors. The word SIMPLE is the perfect word to describe this place. read more

Federal Café - Poached eggs and Chorizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Barcelona, B

We were craving a simple egg breakfast and found this rare in Barcelona, so we were grateful to find this place. The breakfast menu is great and has a variety of items to choose from. We had the parmesan baked eggs (I believe that was the name?), the avocado toast, and scrambled eggs with haloumi. The only upset to our breakfast was the toast that came with the baked eggs and scrambled eggs was hard as a ROCK. It looked so buttery and delicious but we could not cut or chew it for the life of us, so that was disappointing. The avocado toast was served on rye bread which was soft and great. The food was overall very fulfilling without being too heavy. Very nice atmosphere! I recommend going as early as possible because there's not that much seating, so you'll end up at the big communal table with a bunch of people. read more

Beautiful cafe tucked in Gothic Quarter. Menus in three language options: Catalan, Spanish, English. Food was amazing, definitely recommend the baked eggs plate.

Hipster breakfast, just like you'd find in SF. Generous portions of fresh, tasty breakfast food for reasonable prices, decent coffee and respectable wifi. It's very crowded on weekends and peak breakfast times, but otherwise you should be able to easily find a spot. The ground floor has communal tables while the upper two floors and small roof patio have smaller tables. (Honestly, the roof patio seemed like no big deal to me, but everyone seemed hyped on it) Plenty of vegetarian options and everyone spoke enough English to get by. read more

Was at Federal this morning for a working breakfast. The ambience, drink quality, and people watching were, as always, spectacular. It seems, though, that every single time I order anything, there's always a mixup (sometimes things are forgotten, sometimes things arrive not as you expected). Maybe it has something to do with their mobile ordering equipment? Either way, this morning I ordered chamomile tea and instead got a pot filled with hot water. My friend ordered a croissant, only to not get it (and it was still on our bill when we were leaving). These are small mistakes--they happen to everyone. But every time I make it to Federal, it happens. Something to think about... Either way, I'll keep going back to this sweet spot on Parlament. It's too delicious, too hip, too cool not to! But remember to be memorable for your wait staff...otherwise they might forget you (or your order)! read more

We popped in here to refuel after our flight to Barcelona - it came highly recommended by the couple we were staying with. Sadly we missed brunch but the laters menu didn't disappoint. We took a seat downstairs where others were drinking a coffee or working on their laptops. Being an excitable, sun seeking Brummie when I realised there was a terrace I darted upstairs to find the sun trap. I had a Reuben sandwich ( delicious& they also gave me fries after I requested) & Jim had a kangaroo burger which looked moist & was very filling! Prices were a little more than in Poble Sec but seemed about right for the quality of ingredients. read more
