Wow! I really got lucky finding this place. I was going to take a day tour and got to the location an hour early. So my plan was to grab breakfast. The gentleman at the counter was so nice and explained what each sandwich contained. The ham was such great quality and the bread was so fresh and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chocolate croissant was so buttery and flaky and the chocolate was delicious. What a great find! read more

Hänsel - Ham sandwich and chocolate croissant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Barcelona, B

Hansel is an exceptional breakfast venue that we stumbled across early on during our time in Barcelona.  The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and they squeeze some truly wonderful fresh orange juice daily; I'm a totally sucker for fresh OJ ;-) We visited here for breakfast several times and were never disappointed.  On our first visit, I ordered the acai bowl with cereal and fresh fruit, and it was simply phenomenal!  Everything was completely fresh and delicious :-) All the food at Hansel is wonderful - you simply can't go wrong with whatever you order.  The prices are also VERY reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food; we averaged fifteen euros each visit for two people. read more

Food was good. We sat outside and was given a charge for it, no forewarning. Asked for a double latte and was charged for four cups of coffee. We couldn't dispute because language was an issue. Good way to lose my business. There are a lot of great coffee/breakfast places, price gouging doesn't agree with me! read more

The food is absolutely delicious. The person who helped us was very friendly and kind. I had the ham and cheese croissant which was fantastic. The latte was excellent. This place is definitely worth visiting. read more

The food here was fine but definitely not on par with what other reviewers said. We ordered the açaí bowl that had all of the fruit on bottom, some semi-cold smoothie like thing on top with a handful of plain cereal. It was good but nothing near an actual açaí bowl and the presentation lacked. I ordered the scrambled eggs with ham, spinach, and cheese which was good overall, but nothing to write home about. They were simply eggs with some dry toast (needed that tomato). Lastly, the mini chocolate croissant was like something you'd get anywhere else. The only thing that stood out was the matcha orange juice that was very yummy - some sweet and sour with the cut of the matcha. Very different tasting but proved to be the best part of our meal. Overall, this place was "eh". I was expecting much more based on previous reviews but found myself wishing I had only ordered the juice and cafe. read more

Hänsel is this cute little cafe on the streets of Barcelona, serving up some great essential sandwiches, pastries, pasta, juices, and coffee. My friends and I stopped by Hänsel on the last morning of our stay in Barcelona and it was a great experience all around. I got the Bikini sandwich (a ham and melted cheese sandwich) and asked if I was able to add some spinach. While they usually don't include spinach in the sandwich, they said they can add it for me with no extra charge! Also ordered an Americano, which came in a cute espresso mug and was great. Service wise, our waiter was fantastic. He could tell that we were tourists (obviously, from our huge travel backpacks) and recommended several menu items for us. The food came out quick and all the sandwiches were warm and toasty. I'd recommend Hänsel to anyone looking for a high quality, yet affordable and quick place to eat for breakfast/lunch/brunch! It's setup like your typical cafe, with many small tables and several wall outlets (I think), so it's definitely a relaxing environment away from the bustling city streets. read more

French pastries are done in perfection. The pastries with filo dough are crunchy and very tasty. We tried the 4 cheese Quiche, was so good that melts in your mouth. The "cafe con leche" is well done. If you like sweet orange juice this is the place...exquisito!!! The owner was very patient explaining the different pastries and food options and the server was very attentive. The ambience is very inviting, with a clear wood decore, clean and nice. read more

I believe we were helped by the owner. Very kind and accommodating. Okay... the eggs were superb. Scrambled eggs with cheese, mushrooms and ham. I asked my wife is this what fresh eggs taste like? If it is, I want fresh eggs every morning. My first espresso in Spain. More to come. read more

Went to this cafe for breakfast on my last day in Barcelona and had a very enjoyable experience. Food was really good. Between the two of us we had the following: 1. a sandwich with iberico ham - the ham is of very good quality... pure acorn fed 2. a ham and cheese bikini sandwich on coca bread - I love ham and cheese toast but this was really good. The coca bread had a hint of sweetness that complemented the saltiness from the ham and cheese. It was nice and crispy on the outside, and oozing with oily goodness from the melted cheese. 3. a sandwich with butifarra - I wanted to try butifarra, which is a Catalan-style sausage. They used the white one here. I liked this too! 4. Freshly squeezed OJ - nothing much to add to this ... it is what it is! On top of that... I liked the old songs playing in the background too... definitely added to the positive experience. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

"Hansel...he's so hot right now." ...and that's the first thing that came to mind when coming across this place. Mugatu reference aside, it's a great place to take a break after strolling Passeig De Gracia. Staff is super welcoming, which is much more than I can say for several other shops and cafes in the area. They make all that juices and the two that we tried (kiwi melon and mango pear orange) were refreshing, delicious and thick (i.e. not watered down). Spent under 20 Euro for a breakfast sandwich, an egg scramble, a croissant and two juices. read more

Friendly staff. Açaí bowl was good. Fresh juices were great. Eggs were good. Coffee was fantastic.

I came across this cafe while looking for a different one. I'm glad I did. I finally got to have some pan de coca. It was sweet and delicious. Light enough to to perfectly with my cafe con leche. I will probably try something else next time I'm here. I've heard the food is great. In the meantime, though, I'm satisfied. I wanted to give this place 5 stars on service alone. The people here are so friendly! I really like the atmosphere and there were plenty of people when I went (around 6:30 on a Thursday.) I will definitely be back and I can't wait to try their actual menu. Even still, for a coffee and a pastry this place is swell. read more

Came here for breakfast with a group of 7... everyone loved their food and ordered more. Juices and coffee taste amazing! They have Mallorcas here!! I ordered a Mallorca with ham and cheese which surprised the server. "Never have I ever heard this order", he even named it after me "The Chris" none the less it was amazing and tasted like the Mallorcas I had in Puerto Rico. I plan to come here again since I'm here for a week... order "The Chris" you won't be disappointed read more

Cava- crisp and light. We were seated promptly. It was was very busy due to dia de los libros and today san Jordy another Unesco world recognized. Any way it was very busy and crowded in the city. Sellers of roses all over the streets. We ducked into this place and it was great bustling with activity but everyone was pleasant. They brought out little toasted bread. We ordered cold quinoa salad with fresh tomatoes and avocado. Very good not heavy at all! 2nd entree was clam with spaghetti very delicate flavor. It was hot and very good. A slight lemon flavor with spices. Once again very light. My only complaint was how long it took to get our check and pay. Which seems to be the case just about anywhere we go in Spain. Hence the 4 stars. Don't they know we are tourists and have a limited time?! ;-) read more

Best breakfast that I've had while in Barcelona. Thanks to Juan the owner, for a very relaxed experience and for answering all of my food questions with such patience & grace. read more

Looks like practically any of the cafes in that area selling croissant and coffee, but this one has a real menu with lots of interesting stuff. Many delicious stuff like potatoes/zucchini/eggplant egg sandwich, strawberry/banana waffle, crepes and waffles. It has a few more healthy choices as well. Their drinks are very good. Really enjoyed the cappuccino and the latte. Lactose-free milk is available. They also have a few fresh juices to choose from (mango, pineapple, etc.) The mineral water they serve (Evian, glass bottle) is at the perfect temperature. It is extremely affordable, and the value for money spent is outstanding. The service is outstanding too--naturally. read more

Excellent place for breakfast or lunch. There is a nice selection of sandwiches, bread and fresh juice for just a few euros. You can even combine your own sandwich. I had two with salami, cheese and tomato. The tomatoes tasted like they were picked in the morning. The sandwiches were very good. I also had teo mini croissants which basically just came out of the oven, they were still warm - tasted great! For drink had a cafe latte and a kiwi+melon juice. I recommend trying their juices. Service was excellent, the older fella who took our order spoke very good english and even asked us which words should he be using for specific things to be more correct in his speech. The interior was very modern, it was not so noisy. I couldn't identify whether they had Wi-Fi or not though. read more

Simple, easy, quick. We went around 1130a. After all the heavy European food we wanted something mellow. We had the fruit with yogurt and a croissant with cappuccino--not exactly an American style brunch, but perfect. read more

I'd recommend the bikini, the croquettes are good but never super warm. Not super touristy but good vibe.

Seriously gorgeous breakfast. There is a deal: a coffee, a freshly squeezed orange juice and a bocadino( a small baguette sandwich) made with freshly baked bread. There is the option of white or seeded/wholemeal with fillings such as cheese, ham, salami and more. The bread was amazing. So fresh. It was a great value breakfast. I was full after eating it. However, the best thing about this place were the staff. So so lovely and helpful! Spoke slowly in Spanish so that I could understand. I wanted to give him a hug for being so patient and sweet. The menu here looked so good- head here for lunch too! Plus they have gorgeous looking pastries. Highly recommended! read more

Have been eating breakfast here the last two days. Half of the prize of our hotel breakfast. Nice to be able to order scrambled eggs in addition to the usual Barcelona breakfast offerings. Fast, inexpensive, and great for a quick American breakfast. Try to crepes with jam ! read more

Great place for breakfast, brunch or a light dinner. The owner is super friendly. He went through all the details on what they have. The food is good, coffee is good and the fresh squeeze orange juice is yummy. Price is also very reasonable. read more

Cute breakfast spot in the Passeig de Gracia area, and very close to the Hilton Alexandra Hotel. My boyfriend and I split a croissant here and dined on egg scrambles, which were very fresh and tasty. I was attracted to this spot for the juices and they did not disappoint. I had the mango pear orange juice and liked it so much I bought another bottle to go. The only caveat was that they forgot to bring our coffees and needed a reminder, but overall I had a very pleasant experience here and would recommend for a quick breakfast. read more

SO GREAT and very affordable. Owner speaks english, and gave me travel tips and safety tips on how to navigate barcelona. Got the omelette

My wife and I stopped in for a quick breakfast before visiting La Pedrera. The eatery is conveniently located north of Placa de Catalunya in the lower Eixample. We were greeted warmly by the owner upon entering and he was kind enough to personally review the menu with us My wife had scrambled eggs with toast and I had a bikini sandwich (ham and cheese). these were great. We shared a chocolate croissant, which was delicious. Prices were very reasonable considering the location and quality of the food. To give you some idea of what an honest business this is, they even provided us with free tap water (Gasp!) read more

Everything was great! We had breakfast here twice. We tried the quiches which were great and the second time we had the breakfast special. It was a sandwich, coffee & OJ for about €5 each. We also tried the brownie and another pastry covered in slivered almonds and icing sugar, both of these were awesome. I definitely want to go back next time I'm in town! read more
