The cozy little neighborhood, brunch restaurant with a relaxed vibe. A great menu that offers a nice break from the ham and roll breakfast hotel buffets. Access to this restaurant is primarily on foot or taxi. Parking in the area is virtually nonexistent. Excellent coffee and fresh squeezed OJ. All food made to order with fresh ingredients. All portions were overly generous and brought out quickly. Our server was pleasant and efficient. A highly recommended stop for brunch. read more

Delicious. Loud. Busy. Healthy. Mix of locals and visitors. Worth the trip to explore the neighborhood and enjoy the nearby shops.

Nice, solid brunch spot in Barcelona. Lots of communal seating; a bit of a wait to get seated, but not too bad; and a cozy, woodsy-themed interior. I was a fan. I went the sweet route with coconut and chocolate pancakes and my husband went savory with a scramble. Both were tasty, but nothing mind blowing like we had experienced at their competitor's place the morning before. I would still recommend, especially given that they're open daily for brunch- a rarity indeed. read more

We came here for lunch as we were looking for something light. It's a funky restaurant and we sat at the corner, where they have swing chairs. From looking at their menu, there's a lot of good choices for Vegan. My vegan sandwich was not bad, and their eggs Benedict was also pretty good. I think this place is better for lunch than dinner, and a good place for students to drink coffee or cappuccino and finish up on their studies as I found barn tables and sofas to sit on. Cheers! read more

Cozy and a cute. The food was great and the portions were large. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good and hearty breakfast.

This place really exceeded my expectations, the sandwich was great with tons of bacon and flavor. I got to work on my laptop and eat in peace. Started to get pretty busy during lunch time but overall service stayed quick! read more

This place is an absolutely perfect spot for brunch. I came with 8 friends or so around 2 pm for brunch and there was about a 40 minute wait. The restaurant isn't huge and we didn't make a reservation so it was no big deal for us - if you have a big party try to make a reservation or come earlier in the day. The menu is filled with both healthy and indulgent options. All the meals come with a ton of food! I ordered the Passion smoothie and the prosciutto eggs Benedict. The eggs Benedict was absolutely delicious- they accidentally cooked my eggs hard (my friend ordered hers hard), but they quickly rectified it and offered to replace the entire meal, the food was delicious so I just asked for two more runny eggs. The smoothies were also absolutely amazing, very fresh, and not super sweet. The waiters are also incredibly nice, patient, and welcoming. They deserve praise for dealing with our large party. Overall, fantastic meal and restaurant - I will be back for sure. read more

[This is an overdue review from May 2018. As the privilege to travel to foreign countries again presents itself, I have been looking back at past travels.] Recently, my fiancée and I were talking about our favorite breakfast spots, both local and abroad. El Arbol was in our top five. We found El Arbol after walking to a few of the popular brunch spots and finding that the waitlists were fairly long. El Arbol, on the other hand, did not have a waitlist at all. We were seated and promptly served. The decor is certainly L.A.-hipster/hippie friendly, which made me a little concerned that the menu might be entirely vegan or plant-based. Luckily, the menu was chock full of options for consuming jamón ibérico, eggs, and coffee, which is really all we were looking for. The quality of the food was good and the service was attentive and friendly. The coffee was also very good and warranted seconds. read more

Hipster Delight My AirBnB host suggested this place for brunch, so I thought I'd try it the morning of my flight back home. The little assortment of luggage at the entrance told me others thought to do the same thing. I opted for the cozy couch and sipped on a morning mimosa before diving into my delicious prosciutto & avocado toast. The setting is laid back and funky with suspended chairs and communal tables, with hipster touches of rope, hanging plants, and distressed woods. The staff is kind and attentive, even with such a busy venue, making for a wonderful dining experience. A Tasty goodbye to Barcelona read more

I liked this better than Brunch & Cake. Props to underrated brunch spots. Perfect for groups, as you don't have to split the bill in odd ways. Just pay at the register after you're done with brunch. Oh yeah, the setup is IG-worthy. There's a table in the back that has swings as chairs. Go figure. I got the Eggs Benedict with Iberian ham -- if you're a fan of prosciutto, you'll love this. Potatoes were good. Side greens were good. But admittedly, everything was a bit too salty. Still did the job of being delicious and giving its eater a food coma. Almost. read more

This place was a true gem. We had tried to go to the busy spot around the corner - not wanting to wait in that line we stumbled upon this place. Very inviting. It was packed. Great brunch menu. Fantastic coffee - we had coconut lattes, americanos - all of the goodies. I had the egg benedict and it was delicious. A friend had the avocado toast and shared with me - heavenly. We eventually made it to the busy place around the corner, another day of our visit to Barcelona. And the entire group agreed that the menu and experience at El Arbol was much nicer and better food. read more

Worth the wait and always enough watching the world go by with plus seeing what else was being served up.

This place is small and unassuming, but the food is insanely good! I started out with the Lovely Toast, I honestly wasn't expecting much, but wow! I thought about it everyday when I woke up! Toast, with feta, fruit, and honey! I also ordered the Ensalata Roble that was equally amazing and huge! No human being needs to order 2 things here. A great place! read more

English speakers/travelers-- do NOT trust yelp in Barcelona... this is the second place that ranked high in review that had terrible food! The coffee was excellent, but the Eggs Benedict? Awful-- the bread is plain, untoasted, soggy, and flavorless. The hollandaise, also flavorless, and how they made the egg sit in your mouth like a depressed shut-in is beyond me. Please, get a latte and run while you can. read more

This was my sister and I's first stop after flying in from Texas. Everything from the energy of the employee's, to the setting and properly placed dishes was amazing. The waiter we had was so kind and helpful with the menu and spoke perfect English. He also gave us great advice about how to get around Barcelona and how to get to La Rambla street. This place is right next to our Airbnb, I would definitely come back here again before i leave Barcelona. read more

Everything tasted like cardboard. The vegetarian burger tasted worse than I could make it myself at home. They serve you Doritos with the burger......what? The eggs Benedict sauce tasted like water, it is far from Hollandaise. How are these reviews so good..... wake up ppl. This is not a joke btw. Food is supposed to taste good. Also my friend is claiming her water glass smells terrible. I feel like it's Groundhog Day read more

When you have stood in the queue for Brunch and Cake for half an hour and had to watch those seated smuggly eating nice looking food with no hope of you getting there anytime soon, throw down the menu and shout "I will queue no longer". Then walk about 60s around the corner to be seated quickly and get an equally appetising combination of breakfast/brunch/lunch. We had the salmon toast (a big thumbs up ), the pancakes and the granola. All served quickly, with a smile so that a family of 5 could get back to arguing about where to spend the day and how many Gaudi lizard souvenirs were TOO many. Great place and will go again. read more

Really badly managed the day we came. They seemed to be short a person. Food was sitting in the window, getting cold, but I made a gamble with my order and so my eggs Benedict came out stone cold. I never complain, but I didn't want to eat a cold raw egg yolk. The replacement was much better and piled high with jamón ibérico, but the Hollandaise was a bit powdery. As a note to the management: the jamón makes the egg cool quickly, so it needs to get out quick! My wife had the Nest/Nido (avocado toast with poached egg). The egg was cold, the toast was not great and the mashed avocado was pretty tasteless. Would not recommend. Coffee was ok, but not good enough for a trip here just for that, smoothies were good. Passion was great, "green" was a bit boring though. Dog friendly read more

Really cozy little brunch joint with a delicious variety of food. I had the peanut butter toast with bananas, berries, honey and coconut flakes, which was all really nice! The pancakes had a lot of delicious toppings but by them selves lacked a bit of "moist". But as i said, the really well put together toppings mads up for it. They also put bananas in between the pancakes, which was a pleasant surprise! TLDR: Good, solid breakfast with nice toppings read more

We found El Arbol Brunch during our walk to the Picasso Museum and were impressed with their menu. They have a wonderful display of all their desserts next to their coffee bar. The wait time was minimal, and the menu had a variety of options. We started with the chips and guacamole, and we each order the Lox Bagel, Jamón Sandwich, and a spring mix salad. The food was wonderful, the coffee and mimosas were amazing, and the staff was attentive and accommodating. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Loved this cute place. It wasn't on our radar until we walked by it one evening (it was close to where we were staying), and we noticed it was full and seemed very popular. We decided to go back the next day for brunch. The decor is charming and makes the experience memorable. Food was great and big portions. We didn't even have to wait for a table for brunch, which was a big bonus. Also, I'm vegetarian and there were lots and lots of options for me. Even our friend who is vegan had a couple of choices to pick from. Everyone was happy! read more

My friend and I stayed in Barcelona for a week and this was definitely one of my favorite places to eat! I got the banana toast with PB, chocolate and coconut and it was was unreal. Best thing on the menu in my opinion. My friend got the eggs Benedict and that was also very tasty. The service was a little slow because there was only one guy serving AND seating people and then one guy in the kitchen, so that could have been improved. Other than that, I really enjoyed this place and would recommend it to anyone! read more

Fantastic service and great food with larger portions than is typical of Europe meals.

Fabulous cappuccino and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful! Many options on the menu... something for everyone.

This place was recommended to us from our airBnB so for our last day here we decided to have brunch here. At 10:45am we sat down and ordered. Fifteen minutes had passed and not even our drinks were brought over. When we asked our waiter about our order, it seems they simply forgot! This was ridiculous as we saw other patrons who had arrived after us get their food first(with one table having the same amount of guests as ours!) This is simply unacceptable for a place that was not even that busy. The people who sat next to us sat 15 minutes after us and they had their drinks and food already served to them. We decided to leave after realizing that we weren't going to be served properly. read more

A fantastic brunch spot with a diverse menu and adorable decor. My party of 4 sat around a table in chair that swung from the ceiling which was a ton of fun. They have yummy açaí bowls, smoothies, egg dishes, and sweet dishes. read more

I love Barcelona and its people. I do not love this place and its service. I am not sure if it was because we were foreign (American), or didn't meet their standards, but the waiter kept us waiting for what seemed like forever. He did not acknowledge us and did not take our order. He only took the orders of the patrons coming in immediately after us. After seeing the second and third party walking in and getting service, the message was resoundingly clear, so we walked out. Thankfully no business was provided to this establishment. read more
