Wish I had discovered this space sooner. Mecànic is a cafe/gallery/bookstore all in one, and thus…read morehas such a unique vibe. It is my new favourite place to work in Barcelona. If you get bored, you can flip through their collection of ultra-hip photo-books.
You'll usually find me seated near the front with a café con leche and a small food item. I highly recommend trying one of their bagels - I love the one with salmon, avocado, and cream cheese. They also have some delicious vegan baked goods.
The high ceilings of the garage/warehouse space makes the cafe seem very spacious. Wifi works great, and you can ask them for a power bar to charge your devices.
The place is a little out of the way, so I don't think too many people come by (especially on weekdays). I appreciate the quiet atmosphere, and that it's a short walk from my apartment in Gràcia.
