If you're in the mood for something with a little more 'edge', Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic is the place to go. Having relocated to a renovated garage, it is the Krion bar that takes centre stage.

This minimalist specialty coffee shop and bakery is tucked away on a small street close to Plaza España. The pastries are so good you'll almost certainly take a few with you for the plane ride home.

This cute café serves very good specialty coffee and freshly baked goods. Settle in at a table in the charming sunny courtyard at the back.
