I *LOVE* this place! Run by, I believe, a group of Italians, Strata is the place to find delicious, artisinal, super-sweet baked goods in Barcelona. Absolutely amazing! I went in one early morning after being tempted by the charming window display of various cakes, tarts, and pies. I couldn't resist a (rather unhealthy and, for me, unusually large) breakfast slice of carrot cake. And, wow, was I pleasantly surprised by its wonderful quality! It's clear that the bakers behind Strata know what they're doing, and I noticed other people recognize it, too. Several costumers came in not to order baked goods themselves, but to buy some of the special flowers and baking supplies that they also sell. Awesome! Of course, if you don't have a sweet tooth, Strata still might be for you. The cafe has teas and coffee, as well as (if I remember correctly) a limited selection of sandwiches and other more savory options. The ambience is super clean, modern, and refined. I very much recommend Strata to anyone in the neighborhood. It's one of those amazing spots that could/should be on cool hip Parlament street. But, next to quiet, drab Hospital Clinic, Strata is even more of a gem. I will be back, and can't wait until then! Thanks!! read more
