Cake was wonderful, but the chocolate chip cookie not my favorite. I saw that they had a nice pastry selection which included pistachio stuffed croissants, which tend to be quite good in Barcelona. Definitely don't regret that decision, as the one at Maldita includes chopped pistachios as well as pistachio cream. Also featured here are cinnamon rolls, croissants, pain chocolate and a selection of tarts and cheesecakes. The space is modern but welcoming, well lit. Small, not too loud or busy, and a nice space to work for an hour with your morning coffee. It is located just off the main street of La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. They offer food as well, sandwiches, eggs, some traditional Spanish options.

The food, service, and ambiance are all excellent. Definitely a must try if you are in Barcelona.read more

All the donuts are all handmade and it was hard to choose just two to try. My friend got a matcha one while I went with Oreo. Both were absolutely fresh and delicious. They both had a white cream that oozed out after you take a bite. Very good! We also got coffee there too which was pretty decent.

Located on Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, essentially an ally with clotheslines hanging overhead and access limited to those traveling by foot or bike, it was just prior to 11h00 that a party of two entered the small space where an English-fluent couple was chatting and enjoying Coffee, the same server present as during the first visit immediately complimenting one guest's T-Shirt featuring a Pig and thus kicking off a lengthy five-person conversation about the movie Okja on Netflix. Small and homey in its design, a single glass case of Donuts on the counter in front of an Espresso Machine with a small plastic Pig and map of Greece the only real decorations aside from colorful seating for four, it was after weighing both the choices and remaining appetite that the decision was made to invest in three Doughnuts plus a Chocolate Frappe, the drink cool and creamy but unfortunately overwhelmed by unsweetned Whipped Cream which made the last several sips mostly undrinkable. Moving on to the Donuts, Rings and Holes of several traditional flavors in addition to a few novelties offered next to Bagels, it was with two filled choices and one topped in sweetened Tahini and crushed Pistachios that the order was comprised, the bases all identical with an egginess reminiscent of Brioche while the toppings and fillings were all quite good, the Sugar and Raspberry Jam far lighter and more natural than many found Stateside while the Dulce De Leche pocket featured thick Caramel beneath Vanilla Glaze and Cinnamon Streusel.

Sweet little cafe to visit when you're up early and walking around Barcelona. Diagonal Mar is…read moreincredible for pedestrians but there's not too many options for early morning breakfast, so having El Fornet available for pastries and coffee is wonderful for early birds or just really jet-lagged visitors. We walked the baby and came in, the women manning the displays and cashiers were so patient and kind to us Americans. Really thankful this place exists and spacious for a stroller dine-in. One less star due to the food being more of display fare so everything is pre-made. Was tasty but nothing amazing. Coffee was quite good though!

The chocolate they use is just so different and I think better than here in L.A. The best time is to go early in the morning when they have everything fresh and there. Seems like almost all the good stuff is gone by 10:00a.m. So if your not a early bird your not gonna get all the goodies. So try to come early and get one of each. BTW they have wheat croissants. Oh wow so different and yummie. But my number one favorite from here is the hot dog croissant and ham & cheese. LOVE IT! It's very inexpensive here and nice and clean. If you don't speak Spanish no worries. Pointing is just as great.. They totally understand pointing and understand some English.
