this is a neat little breakfast place
there are lots of breakfast places on the calle de ample,
but this is the one with the nicest room,
the food is reasonably priced,
and both the breakfasts and the coffees are good.
breakfast in barcelona often means sandwiches
(and when your sandwiches have cool stuff in them, that is fine by me.)
i have had a number of sandwich with coffee in breakfast with the coffee in various forms.
everything has been wonderful.
the bread is good, the meat is good and the espresso is strong and bitter.
the cashier DOES get impatient with tourists who can not handle spanish small change.
but the staff behind the counter works hard
(there are only two people for a lot of customers
and many of the customers want custom orders like espressos fresh squeezed orange juice or toasted sandwiches.)
while she is waiting for idiots to figure out how change in euros work,
other customers are not being served.
Bottom line:
a) My sympathies are totally with staff here
b) The breakfasts are good and the room is nice.
This all suits me fine. read more
