In the eighteen years I have lived here in Barcelona I have spent 1000's€ in Servei Estació: it's…read moreoverpriced, but it has everything; I've enjoyed buying my DIY stuff there. Today I took back a simple spanner that was about 3mm too small for the purpose I had purchased it for; I had a purchase receipt so I went to return it to change for a larger spanner. The 'reception' area on the left at entry point were very polite, told me to take it back to Planta 5 where I could change it. Different story when I got there; I have never been treated with such arrogance and deference: because I'd cut off the plastic tag (to use it for the intended purpose, note), I was given a very arrogant brush-off. Once bitten twice shy; I'll never shop there again: my advice is to buy online where it's cheaper and you don't get insulted and treated like sh*t!

Kind of like an Ace Hardware and a Target had a baby but nixed clothing and food. They make keys, they have paint, they have seasonal items, and it is well staffed and centrally located. You will not find everything here, and that's ok. I am known to make my way to each level via escalator then elevator to the basement where there's all the plumbing and outdoor goodness.

Fantastic little knife shop that was recommended to me by a friend. The gentleman who helped me…read morespoke only a little English, but with a lot of smiles and some confused looks (and frequent referencing to my phrasebook) we found the perfect knife for me that was both exceptionally well-made and lovely. There's probably over a thousand knives in the place, along with all sorts of other bits and bobbles that are "blade" related, including straight razors, kitchen tools, and hunting gear. Note to Americans: You can choose to pay either in Euros or USD via credit card (only Euros if you're paying cash), but I found my bank gives me a better rate in Euros.

Good selection of products helpful staff. Prices aren't low but seem fair.read more

It was our last day in Barcelona and we were on a mission to find cool gifts to bring back home…read more Las Ramblas is lined with many souvenir shops with neon coloured tshirts, magnets, and mugs. But we were looking for something more local that captured the chic and super creative vibes of this amazing city. We were so happy to have stumbled into this wonderful shop right off Las Ramblas. Think Muji (the Japense chain) with a classy, sassy edge. Beautiful watercolor prints of Barcelona landmarks, catchy, clever wordplay on canvas totes, pencil cases, coasters, cups and more. A must visit if you're looking for unique, affordable gifts to bring back home with local Barcelona flair.

What an awesome store! This is the walk-in version of Etsy (only cooler and more eclectic). My wife…read moreand I were wandering through the streets and alleys near La Ramblas and we're stoked to find it. We bought three small prints, a little fabric cactus and a shirt of the street grid of BCN. Cool music plays in the background while you shop. They have kids stuff, games and clothes. They have a bunch of home decor stuff as well. Won't regret stopping in!
