The staff were extremely nice, helpful and kind to our attempts to speak Spanish. We became regulars for over the two weeks we stayed. So easy to grab and go (llevar) as we hop the train to start the day. We loved the breakfast sandwiches (egg, meat, and cheese), the empanadas were delish and the cafe (coffee) on point. If you are a tourist from the US or anywhere the phenomenally friendly staff will make you feel welcome (bienvenida)!

We ordered 4 empanadas; 2 mushroom, 1 chicken with herb and 1 spinach, cheese and walnut. Our favorite one was mushroom. The dough was light and flaky with just the right amount of filling.

They have a huge selection of empanadas, including lots of vegetarian options (one of the best vegetarian flavors? Pumpkin and Mozzarella!) I also recommend the Chicken and Herb. They also have great dessert empanadas, like the Apple Cinnamon (basically a handheld apple pie). The empanadas are really cheap, I think around 1.70 Euros each. The only downside is they are cold in the case and heated after you buy them, and often they were still cold in the middle after being heated. That's the only reason they don't get five stars. I definitely recommend coming here if you're in the Gracia neighborhood and looking for a quick bite. They're open late, so check them out!

I decided on the two empanada and salad special that came with a drink and espresso at the end. Never did I imagine the salad to be HUGE! Fresh veggies, cheeses, etc. that was so so tasty. But of course the star was the empanadas! I started with a chorizo and cheese, which was flavorful and tasty. But then I bit into the leek and cheese, and I was in heaven! So buttery and flaky. Hot and piping, but the perfect temperature to enjoy it. These empanadas were actually smaller than I had imagined, so I asked the waitress to give me her favorite one which was the onion and cheese. That was very tasty too! I would've bought every single option available and bring them back with me if I could have!

They have a good selection of breads, croissants, pastries, etc. My fiance got the bikini croissant which had ham and cheese inside a croissant that they toasted, and it was quite good. I would recommend getting this - I almost wish I had gotten this instead of the empanada. I got an empanada with tuna and tomato inside which was good but not amazing. The sweet pastries and croissants looked great but we didn't have any of them. The cafe con leche was good, but what I particularly liked was the freshly squeezed orange juice that I could see them making to-order. I'd highly recommend getting a glass of this. Overall, nice place to come get a pastry, snack or quick breakfast. They have seats at the bar or small tables to sit and relax and the ambiance is nice with a lot of natural light and windows.
