After a dozen attempts to dial in the pour the staff was honest and upfront about the selection that it couldn't be made to their standards. Wow, love this! Instead of giving me my drink and rushing me out the door, it was all about the quality. Being new to espresso making at home I fully understand the 1:2 ratio in a specific amount of time for making espresso. I took their advice and went with another bean selection. My iced cafe latte was for take away and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. One thing to note for any Americans that expect sweetener, there is none here. I wasn't bothered by this but I could see many others might be. Looking back I wish I had bought some beans to bring back home to Cali.

As for the iced latte, it was definitely less better and slightly more sweet and creamy due to the milk. You still tasted a bit of the flavor of the coffee.

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!

I had hoped to come here to get some work done, but you are not allowed to use your laptop here - good to know! I did enjoy the busy, chatty environment and it is clearly a go-to spot for many people, as it was packed both when I arrived and when I left. The carrot cake was slightly warm when I got which was a pleasant surprise. The cream cheese frosting balanced the sweetness of the cake perfectly and I appreciated the hint of orange present in the cake. Overall, strongly recommend this place for a nice meet up with friends or non-computer-based (and probably not reading unless you don't mind the chatter) session :)

Albeit-- in a sketch area, Caravelle was an amazing find within walking distance of my hotel near…read morethe Gothic Quarter. Caravelle is quaint and modern, and the service is definitely on the more lax side. Note: smaller parties may be seated at the communal table, and this place stays busy! Be prepared for a bit of a wait. I started with a café con leche, and although I'm not usually a sweets-for-breakfast kinda person, the croffle looked too enticing online to pass up. Being a huge egg aficionado, I also ordered a side of eggs à la carte. My coffee arrived quickly, but after waiting 30 minutes, I noticed that guests who had arrived after me were already enjoying their meals... When I checked in with the waiter, it turned out my order hadn't gone through at all. I had to reorder, and while waiting, I asked for another café con leche since I was long overdue for a refill. Unfortunately, that second coffee never came--but on the bright side, my meal eventually did. The croffle was freaking divine. Crispy/flakey on the outside, and soft inside. The cream was sweet, but not overpowering, and the tart of the berries balanced out the meal. As I was getting ready to check out, the waiter asked if I had ever received my second café con leche. Embarrassed for them, I admitted that I hadn't... Realizing they'd made ANOTHER mistake, he apologized profusely and quickly asked the barista to make me one to go. To compensate for my time and patience, he generously comped my entire meal, leaving me to pay only for the initial coffee (2.50 euros). Despite the service hiccups, the food was incredible--truly one of my favorite breakfasts in Spain.
