I have to agree with some former reviews, service is painfully slow... Even though it was not busy at all... Orders where mixed up and make sure to check your change.. that being said; The Egg Benedict Bagel was real good, Avocado Toast was a bit sparse and the Carrot/Apple Juices watered down but ok-ish.. Matcha Latte was wrongfully made with real milk instead of soymilk, so not drinkable for me.. So all in all, I would not come back, but if you have plenty of time and don't mind incompetent service but fresh made food, by all means give it a try.. maybe u r more lucky then us..
This spot was very chill. It was crowded the entire time we were there so must be a local fave. Everything we ordered was delicious! Our waiter was great, very helpful and made local recommendations of things to do. This was a cozy spot to grab food for any meal or to just grab a drink. Loved it!!
Place is way better than the tourist traps out near la ramblas only reason why I have it a four star was because the waffles were not good and cold along with the server moving us to another table when he said we can sit anywhere but other wise the chicken I got was very good with the sauce I'm not sure what it was but it was tasty. My girl got the burger with guac and bacon I had a bite and it was delicious along with the potato chips. I'd come back and would recommend to people visiting from the states nice vibe.
Supeeeeerrrr Full!!! My girlfriend and I were skeptical to try this place out because of the rating, with only 3.5 stars, but we decided to see for ourselves how it is. We were greeted with a hello and opted to sit inside instead of on the terrace. The place is absolutely gorgeous, with a hipster feel to it. I ordered the classic mojito, while my girlfriend had the classic bellini (peach bellini). Both were great! My girlfriend tried my mojito but she found it a little too sweet, but it was perfect for me, as a I like it a little bit sweeter than usual. It's worth mentioning that the mojito was fairly cheap at €3.50, while the bellini was pretty average price at arouns €5.00. We had also ordered the guac with plantain chips which was absolutely delicious! It was our first time having guac with plantain chips and we weren't disappointed! I also had the eggs benedict while my girlfriend had the smashed eggs with mushroom, asparagus, and potato. Everything was really really amazing and delicious! Our total bill came up to around €30.00, but we felt it was well worth it!! Santiago was a really wonderful waiter as well, it's worth mentioning! We had also ordered
Best Meal I Have Had In Barcelona!! Everything was great. The refreshing mango and waffle grilled cheese are EVERYTHING!!
Alsur is one of the best cafes in Barca for co-working, with its huge self-service area with tables aplenty and comfy couch seats. It boasts free wifi using Social Wifi, which means yes, everyone will see you checking in on FB each time you log on. The coffee is average, but they make up for it with amazing iced teas. The proper lunch fare is tasty but a bit pricey; going at lunch for their 'menu del dia' is the best option, with a drink, dessert and coffee for only 2 euros extra. Although table service is a bit less conducive for disappearing into your work, there's some great people watching to be had at the tables inside along the windows.
A great spot for brunch walking distance to the Picasso Museum. My cafe con leche was excellent and they perfectly steamed the milk. Our server was excellent and let us take our time. I had the Avocado Toast and my husband had a burger. There is a great outside area to sit at and a cozy corner all the way inside in the back. The cakes looked delicious maybe we'll stop by after the Picasso Museum for a slice.
This cafe has a wonderful atmosphere which feels very cosy, with big armchairs and a "living room" look (well the kind of living room you wish you had but you dont). I have taken beetroot juice which was wonderful. My friend took pink lemonade- an actual homemade one and not the sweet glue they sell in the US and it was very nice too! as food we went for eggs florentine, which were good- not amazing- but then I am also super picky with breakfast food. I have asked for a version without dill sauce and the waitress made sure to make it happen. Id love to come again and try more.
Love the interior design with light bulbs hanging across the laptop area where one side has a row of single sofas with mini tables and the other side has benches with soft pillows. It's a nice place for an afternoon reading, doing works on the computer (free wifi available), or just spending time with friends. I had a brownie waffle with cream chesse (₡6.90) and freshly squeezed orange juice (₡3.95) for my lunch. I have been wanting to try their waffle since I saw it on the Instagram a month ago, and it's definitely worth for the trip. The waffle-shaped brownie is warm, soft and with a strong chocolate flavor. The cream cheese and the strawberries on top complement the sweetness of the brownie. However, it still gets a bit too sweet half way through. The staffs are nice and welcoming, although it does take awhile for them to take your order. Overall, it's a cafe with good food and nice atmosphere! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Me encanta el diseño interior con las bombillas colgando a través del área para portátiles donde un lado tiene una fila de sofás con mesitas, y el otro (lado) tiene bancos con almohadas blandas. Es un buen lugar para leer por la tarde, trabajar por los ordenadores (wifi gratis disponible), o solo pasar el tiempo con amigos. Comí un gofres de brownie con queso fresco y tomé un zumo de naranja natural para almorzar. He querido probar sus gofres desde que los ví en Instagram hace un mes. Definitivamente vale la pena el viaje. El brownie en forma de gofres es calentito, blando y con un fuerte sabor a chocolate. El queso fresco y las fresas por encima complementan el dulce del brownie. Sin embargo, todavía resulta un poco demasiado dulce después. Los camareros son amables y cordiales, aunque tardan un poco en tomar el pedido. En general, ¡es un café con buena comida y un ambiente agradable!
Really nice place to study, drink coffee and have a bite to eat. Great location in El Born neighborhood, lots of light and comfy seating. The coffee and juice we ordered were really good, and after studying for an hour or so we ordered the waffle grilled cheese to share which was the right choice. It was good but definitely not something you want to eat a whole lot of. Half the sandwich was the perfect amount.
I heard a lot about this place as one of the go-to places in El Born. It is located in a nice street and is one of the larger cafes in El Born. It has a nice atmosphere with lots of seats with a lounge area, a laptop area, and an outside seating area. The laptop area is decent for working and is considered the self-service area where you go up to the bar and order, then pick your own table. The cafe is air-conditioned, but it is not particularly strong and won't exactly cool you off during a hot day. The laptop area is decent for working, as it is generally quiet even with music playing in the background. There is both a couch area as well as round tables with stools that are slightly uncomfortable. Free wifi is avaliable, but you have to check in on Facebook or use your email. If you don't want everyone seeing you check-in, just switch to the post they make you post to be visible only for you. Unfortunately, the internet is kind of slow, but it is usable for the most part with no drops as far as I know of. There's practically no outlets. The coffee is mediocre. I ordered the Banana Toffee Mocha, but it honestly just tasted like chocolate and coffee. It was a bit too sweet, but in general I can't really tolerate sweet foods. The cafe con leche was average too. I also came here earlier and got a mojito which was below average. The prices were average for most coffee shops with seating areas. I haven't tried any of the other drinks, but they supposedly taste better. The services is okay. Because they bring the drinks to you, there's usually waiters moving about. In the self-serve area, it takes awhile for tables to get cleaned up because they have a large amount of area to cover. The bathrooms look nice but they have graffiti and scratches like most public restrooms. The toilets are shaped really weird, however, and there are no paper towels. When I was there, there was a chip on the toilet and the hand blow dryer was not working. Overall, although it took a decent amount of time to get the internet working, this place is decent for working. No wow factor, but I'd come back just for a place to work as I have not found another place with wifi and lots of seating.
Lovely place right next to my hotel. Brunch all day was a plus and cheaper than the hotel offered. Had the pork eggs Benedict and nachos. Plan to return to try other things.

This is a good brunch spot with a great menu. We had the Waffle Grill Cheese, Carrot Pancakes and Oreo Waffles. All were delicious. All food is made to order. No hidden fees or cover charges. The one issue we had is that the Oreo Waffles came with multiple pieces of hair in it, but we sent it back to the kitchen and they were happy to make a new order. P.S. - To sit outside on the terrace is an additional 10% read more
We stopped by Alsur cafe and they had a great brunch menu full of delicious options. On a Sunday around 2PM it was a little busy and we had a short wait for a table. We sat outside at at table that started in the sun, but as it got later it moved behind the buildings making it quite chilly. Most of the staff understand English which was also helpful as a traveler. We had some mimosas with fresh squeezed orange juice which were yummy. I ordered the pancakes with chocolate, strawberry, banana, chocolate chip, and dulce de leche they were very yummy but also too sweet. There was a ton of dulce de leche, that I almost need something savory to cut the sweetness. My cousin enjoy their chicken and waffles, but we ordered a churro nut which they ended up bringing. Overall, a fun menu, but not sure I would visit again as the food took a while and service was average. read more
Spending a month in Barcelona on holiday, this has been my go-to cafe for a bit of writing and the occasional brunch. Great drink/food, great atmosphere, and a very friendly and welcoming staff. Typically, I've gotten one of their refreshing and delicious special iced teas, but also enjoyed their iced coffees in the past. Free WiFi and ample seating, indoors or out. read more

Alsur is interesting for the foodie. I'd say it's unique and I give it credit for the experimental "cross-fooding" it explores, but it's way overrated. I ate great nachos for lunch but most of the other options were just overdone. Don't put egg on a churro or bacon in a Bloody Mary, it's distasteful and even demeaning. One useful tip for the desserts is to order what you want inside the bakery part after your meal if you want it faster and cheaper. Baked goods are more expensive at the table than in the bakery- possibly because they're fresher? Idk. Either way, service was painfully slow. Couldn't get the waiters attention and had to ask for things multiple times. Also, be warned that you have to pay extra to sit on the terrace outside. A little annoying im pretty sure sunshine and nature is a public good and right but whatever. This place also doesn't give out WiFi on the weekends, which is just a big minus if you're trying to find a work spot alsur. Overall, okay but weird would 3/10 go again. read more

This place surprised me. It doesn't have much in way of food selection, but what I did have was fantastic. The Mexican rice and chicken dish was very good, the reimagined mac-and-cheese (as cubes with tampura and blue-cheese sauce) was really clever, and the Chai Latte was fantastic, one of the best cups of tea I ever had. read more

So good. Everything. Is beautifully presented. It was not quite local, but so delicious. The pulled chicken in black aoli. The Mexican rice dish is too beautiful to eat. It is presented like a layered cake. It was a very comfortable lo space and so easy to sit in. So comfortable and cozy. read more
