Mag by El Magnífico


One of Barcelona's best coffee roasters, El Magnífico now runs this stylish, Scandi-esque corner cafe breathing new life into a beautiful 19th-century building with wooden beams, Catalan arched ceilings, original stained glass and huge roasting machines. Pair your freshly roasted, seasonally sourced blends espresso (€2) with decadent flaky pastries from the nearby Hofmann Pastisseria.
