    Americano, hot chocolate, and churros. Churros or porras plus hot chocolate is 5.2 euro.
    Lily Z.

    This was my best churros experience during the trip, much better than Xurreria dels Banys Nous the day before. The most important thing about churros is that it has to be freshly fried. I don't need complicated toppings or fillings, just the classic is the best in my opinion. Xurreria Laietana sold both churros and porras. Porras is also fried dough like churros, but more airy and fluffy. I actually liked it better than churros. It resembled a familiar Chinese breakfast fried dough called youtiao. The hot chocolate dip was strong and not too sweet, the ultimate complement from an Asian woman.

    Churros con Chocolate

    No frills spot for Churros con Chocolate. They're constantly churning out product so your orders are hot and crispy. The churros themselves are crispy and hot on the outside while remaining warm and soft on the inside. It's like a symphony of textures in your mouth. The churros aren't overly sweet in any way despite the sugar they dust it with. The Hot Chocolate here goes a long way in adding to the flavor of the churros and helps mitigate any overly crunch exteriors while adding to a satisfying mouthfeel when combined. All in all, for under 5 euros for an order of churros con chocolate, this is definitely an easy must try and must repeat sort of place. Churros all day everyday please!

    Xurrería Laietana was disappointing for the following reasons: - Churros were soggy, unevenly cooked, and a bit raw and doughy in the inside - Personally, I'd rather have stuffed/filled churros (preferably with "dulce de leche") - The chocolate sauce was mediocre at best I don't get the hype. My recommendation - stay away!

    I love that churros and chocolate count as breakfast in Barcelona. Simple menu but they have perfected their craft.

    1.60€

    Food - 4/5 Was on the hunt for some churros while in Barcelona and this spot was it. The churros are hot and fresh and oh so tasty. They are so cheap for so many churros. Love they sprinkle the sugar after putting it into the paper cone so some of them come out plain and some with sugar. Dip it into coffee like a cookie and it's so delicious. A must try when in Barcelona. Service - 4/5 Fast and friendly. No fuss and just straight forward. Ambiance - 4/5 No frills little cafe. A few bar stools to enjoy a cup of coffee but definitely not a place to hang for long.

    So delicious a little hard to find because it's a small business but very popular

    So very delicious and a very popular business the chocolate was unbelievable! A little hard to find because it's so small but saw the line and found it!

    Churros

    Does anyone ever get bothered by Churros that have filling inside? Is that just me? Ok then... All jokingness aside I thought this place was amazing. The people working here were all friendly enough and the ambiance was a little on the hipster side. It is kinda small inside so just be aware that depending on how busy it is, you may or may not be able to sit down. But rest assured that this place is definitely worth it. Not only did the churros taste fresh but you are able to get a chocolate dipping sauce on the side if you are into that kinda thing. I personally thought they don't even need it. The texture of each stick was perfectly crunchy on the outside but of course warm and soft on the inside. They also aren't overly sweet either. These actually might be some of the best churros I've ever had in my life but also keep in mind that I'm not a super dessert person. I do think that if I ever come back to Barcelona, this place will have to be a tradition that I come back to each time though. It was truly magic eating these the morning of my last day here.

    Churros and chocolate

    Really tasty hot and fresh churros and chocolate! The chocolate is creamy and not too sweet. They give a large cup of it, so I was eating with a spoon when the churros ran out. I should have gotten some porras to dunk too. We went early in the morning, so it wasn't busy yet. Another couple ordered the same thing right after us - they thought their order was given to us because we got a hot chocolate and they got an order of churros. Not sure why we weren't given both chocolate and churros at the same time, but we got the balance right after so it made no difference.

    The churros was a perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft and chewy in the inside. We ordered one regular bag which came with about 6 pieces. It also came with a decadent rich cup of chocolate. The chocolate was dense, rich, and leaned toward a dark chocolate. It was mouthwatering delicious. They made it there fresh and served it hot crab out of the oven! Yum!

    The best dessert combo! Nom nom!

    Mm hmm. Yeeeep. OOOH yeah! These churros are bombtastic!!! I can easily say that these are some of the best churros that I've ever had. They're a lot different from Mexican churros, but damn are they scrum-diddily-umptious!   Came here for some dessert after having dinner nearby and this place hit the spot. Like many places Barcelona, this spot has a pretty small interior with limited seated. I'd say that it's setup like your typical cafe with a glasses case of baked goodies and counter seating in the back. Since this is one of the most popular churros places in Barcelona, you should definitely expect to wait in some sort of it. Luckily, the line moves quickly. The menu is pretty straight forward; you've got your cafe drinks and of course, your churros. They have their kitchen out in front, so you can watch the crew making fresh batches of churros right in front of you. I ordered churros with dipping chocolate and a cafe con leche. These churros are prepared with the perfect amount of crispiness, and the dough is so damn fresh. Unlike churros that are made in the states, these churros aren't served dripped in cinnamon sugar. Instead, you pour the sugar on top with a spoon (if you want them with sugar). So, they aren't super sweet, but wow! You can really taste the difference because of it. And that dipping chocolate!!! Get this!!! Again, it isn't heavily sweet but the richness of it all is just... mmmm. The rich chocolate mixed with the crispy churro dough is like a match made in heaven! Before you know it, you've devoured them within the speed of light. The cafe con leche is quite tasty too. Also, the people who work here are some of the most honest and caring. I unknowingly dropped 20 euro on the ground that I couldn't see while I was sitting down. One of the staff members came from behind the counter, picked up the money, and gave it back to me discreetly. The place is certainly the real deal! I can honestly say that these are the best churros that I've had to date. Now that I've been exposed to these delicious Spanish churros, I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with the churros back home. Churrería Laietana has spoiled me rotten.

    Café Con Leche y Churros! This is heaven! Numero Uno! Te Amo! Beautiful familia run!

    "I'll tell you in another life, when we both are cats." - Penélope Cruz Hoy! Churrería Laietana is still my favorite place in all of Latin Europe! The charming familia owned cafe can be found in the historic Barri Gòtic! Prices are incredible with nothing over €4 (Euros)! Yet, if you're short on currency they happily accept credit cards too! Churrería Laietana opens early at 7am and closes after 8pm, but it's important to know siesta hours are observed from 1pm - 4:30pm and closed Saturday! If staying in Barcelona walking should be a first choice since it's such a charming city. I arrive early as I am early bird that catches the churro! This my third visit! Upon entering, sometimes line will be out the door, you will be warmly greeted in Spanish, especially dark hair dudes like me jaja! If you are not fluent in Spanish it's okay as family members all speak enough English. I would suggest at least know "Hola" & "Gracias" in respects. Spaniards appreciate if you at least try! I order Chocolat Caliente y Chocolat con Churros! The Hot Chocolat is perhaps the richest I've had, ever! I'd suggest adding a tad hot water or milk. Churros here are what dreams are made of! So fresh, as you watch Señor frying it in front of you! Crisp on the outside and a nice chewy inside. Just incredible! Mmm Take-outs are quite popular with working Spaniards, but if you want a true foodie experience, slow down, appreciate life, find a stool and enjoy the moment! It's a tad more to dine-in, like most European cafes, but always so worth, especially like iconic spots like this! If you are blessed to be in Barcelona I highly recommend a stop in Churrería Laietana for the best churros in the world... hands down! I may be loco, but to me, it's the best deal in the universe! No importa que nos separe la distancia, siempre habrá un mismo cielo que nos una. 'Til we meet again... Te Amo...

    First meal in Barcelona. Seriously. It's just how I roll. Arrived in Barcelona late afternoon. Checked in to the hotel, dropped off luggage and went exploring. I wasn't hungry and when my friend suggested Churros and Hot Chocolate - and it happened to be on my on my things to do list - she didn't hear an argument from me. Dessert for dinner. That's adulting 101. Find the spot and it's jumping. Line out the door. Inside packed. Small place. No tables. Just a counter with maybe about a dozen seats. Then a bar with about four seats. Ordered and was lucky to grab two seats at the bar. Got an order of Churros and Hot Chocolate. No Porras available. I enjoyed my first taste of anything in Barcelona. See pics. Churros were great. Not hot out of the oil but we did take pics so they cooled down some. The Hot Chocolate was like Pudding. Viscous. Not liquid like we're used to here in the States. Dip. Eat. Repeat. Would I go back. Yeah! Even tried to. To try the Porras. But they were closed.

    **December 2022: Thursday Night Visit** My friend and I flew in in the later afternoon, so after we dropped off our luggage at the hotel and started to explore the city. It was already 7:30pm by the time we left our hotel and while I was still pretty exhausted from the flight I convinced my friend and I to go get dessert (although honestly, I really didn't need to twist his arm for the request) lol Located in the Gothic Quarter Churreria Laietana is a hotstop for locals and tourists alike. When we arrived (around 8pm) there were a ton of people out the door chomping on churros. Seating is limited, but eventually my friend and I were able to snag a counter seat to enjoy our goodies. I really wanted to try the porras - which I've been told is like a Chinese donut (€1.4), but unfortunately, they were all out so my friend and I settled on churros (€1.40) and Xocolata (€2.40) aka Hot Chocolate. The treats were good, but I'm not sure if I had taken too many photos so it cooled down really fast. I like my churros pippin' hot and these were like room temperature; however, I did enjoy dipping them in my hot chocolate. I think this was more of a 3.5 experience but did you look at the prices?! I can guarantee you won't find that in the states - hence I'm a fan!

    Churros, porros, chocolate, and café con leche. Yummmm

    Came here for brunch. The menu is trendy and innovative, with many items that I had never seen…read morebefore plus the popular stuff like smoothie bowls and the classics like eggs, etc. I ordered the Oreo waffles, which I was really excited about. Unfortunately, they weren't really that good. There was more cream than waffle, and the waffle itself didn't taste like anything. The cream had a weird taste; the only thing that was really delicious about it were the Oreos and Oreo bits on top. I also tried my friend's spirulina smoothie bowl, which she liked, but I didn't much. For drinks, I wanted to try the tiramisu coffee, but they were out, so I just had the hot chocolate. It was rich and sweet; I enjoyed it, but it wasn't exceptional. My friends had the Oreo vodka milkshake and the strawberry cheesecake vodka, which were, according to them, absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, the food and drinks I got weren't anything special. However, the vibe of this place is so cute and the service is very friendly!

    TLDR: Solid breakfast! ___…read more I had a craving for eggs and this place hit the spot. Shout out to the server because I almost ordered a small breakfast that sounded great till he showed me a pic. I went with the Bagel breakfast with Eggs and ham on top. The bagel was thick and fluffy, not too doughy. They also add some crispy things to the top that added a nice texture and crunch. The coffee was good. Solid. Not excellent. But good. Service was a bit slow overall. Took a while to get our order in, then a really long time to get the food.
