We got the iced latte along with the shakerato. The shakerato had no milk, so you can definitely taste the beans/coffee flavor. 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 :)
