I actually came in here to see the juice squeezing machine Mark M. called out in his review, and as usual Yelp Elites notice worthwhile details. You really should come in here to have fresh squeezed orange juice.

Wow, what a selection of groceries! They have just about everything you need. And, the prices,…read morethey are super low. I like how many baguettes there are, as well as wine bottles, liquor, and beer. The machine that automatically squeezes oranges into a clear bottle you buy is super cool. They have have various sizes. You have to buy a plastic bag here but they are nice and thick and perfect for carrying.

Buying organic isn't as important as it is in the USA because the European Union doesn't allow many of the dangerous and toxic ingredients found in too many American foods. But if organic is important to you, there are high quality products here.

Conveniently located in the lower level of the L'Illa shopping mall. Open 9:30-9:30…read more There's a coffee and pastry shop inside the store that seems to be open before the market opens if your in a need for coffee before other restaurants are open.

Just before travelling back home to Manchester after spending my Easter vacation in the Catalan…read morecapital, I stumbled across Caprabo which is basically a supermarket just across the exit from -1 level of the L'illa shopping mall. I originally came in here for a quick look around and to use the toilet. I was upset to find the toilet locked, and the staff working seemed quite rude and ignorant, despite knowing I was waiting, they carried on doing nothing but talk to each other for a few minutes, before one of them came to serve me, who spoke little to no english. I also had issues with my server at the checkout, she spoke no english and just pointed at things, rather than make any conversation whatsoever. The range is satisfactory, but quite poor for a supermarket of this size, inside it lacks that modernity and doesn't feel like a good large supermarket I'm used to in the UK, and I've even seen a few examples of in France. There was a fresh juicing machine for Orange juice and I picked up a small carton for 1.65 euro, I liked this as it tasted good and it was fresh. The selection of drinks was also poor, there was very little to choose from and even a convinance style supermarket nearby would have offered more, for example I couldn't find any of the flavoured Lipton Iced Teas I like, which I can't get in the UK, or any flavours for that matter other than Lemon. The shop floor didn't have many staff members to offer assistance, which links into my comments on the poor service. Overall, this supermarket is a real disappointment, with not many large supermarkets nearby I think Caprabo is taking that for granted and the overall look, feel and stock of the store as well as service is suffering because of that, hence they are currently worthy of just a single one star with the only two positives being the lack of similar stores nearby and the fresh orange juicing machine which the public can use.

I am staying at Fira Hotel and went to Mercadona at Amadeu Turner about a 6 minutes walk from the…read morehotel. I went with my friend and we were followed by the security guard. I did not think much of it. As we paid and our total bill was 150 Euros we realized that was not the entrance we came so we went to the other side of the store. The security guy was still following us. The cashier lady started screaming at us to show the receipt. She took all of my groceries from my bag and went one by one. Screaming in front of a line of customers, she never said she was sorry and I was ready to return all my merchandise but I have too much class to put myself at her level. She blamed us for not knowing the rules of the supermarket and saying we should exit where we paid. I felt humiliated, felt they treated us in a very poor manner and yes I felt is a racist supermarket. My score to them is 0. I would not recommend any person of color to go to Mercadona, unless they want to be treated in a poorly manner. Estuve de visita en Barcelona, y me hospede en el hotel Fira. Fui la mañana del 30 de diciembre al supermercado que queda a 6 minutos del hotel caminando, Mercadona. Fui con mi amiga y al entrar al supermercado fuimos seguidas por el guardia de seguridad en turno, a eso de las 930am. No pusimos atencion de ser perseguidas porque pensamos que de repente esta haciendo su trabajo, pagamos en la parte que queda cerca del estacionamiento, y mi amiga me comento que la salida es por el otro lado haci que despues de pagar nos fuimos hacia el frente del supermercado para salir por la parte principal. El guardia de seguridad aun segui persiguiendonos y ya de salida una cajera en estado de histerismo en la parte principal grito enseñeme su factura y sus bolsos, las dos le ensenamos y despues de sacar toda la mercancia que era bastante lo puso de vuelta, pense regresar todo y que me devolviera el dinero gastado, le pregunte a la cajera que se encontraba en estado de histeria que cual era el problema, si haci tratan a los turistas y el guardia de seguridad a estado con nosotros todo el tiempo.. La cajera de turno no se disculpo. La fila de la gente esperando para pagar mientras ella discutia y se comportaba en un estado de histeria. No se si los empleados de ese Mercadona estan medicados o si son racistas hacia los turistas. Les voy a dar puntuacion menos 0 porque de trato al turista se llevan el premio de negativo 0.

Of…read morecourse you can find some basic stuff like few brands of chinese instant noodles, rice, frozen food, etc, but it is far far away to be called asian grocery & the price is bit more than others. Most of the drinks here you can also find in normal supermarket & unless you live in the neighboorhood, its not worth it to go there. Instead go to WHL at calabria, even though it is not as good as Oriental or Dun Yong in NL, but definitely you will find something to buy there & the price is competitive. Havent check Oriental Barcelona yet.

Enjoyed the fresh baked items, the yogurt, the cheese, the huge pate selection (I wish we had this much pate in the states) and the great fresh fruit. We got many food souvenirs here- including fabulous Spanish pine nuts, which are very hard to get in the states, or are 50 bucks a pound. Also found great Marcona almonds here. I think the almonds here were better than Corte Ingles.
