Getting To Know Barcelona's Coffee Culture
A Caffeine Enthusiast's Journey. Welcome to Clara's Coffee Blog!
Hello, I’m Clara, a 24-year-old caffeine lover who explore an exciting adventure in the heart of Barcelona. Over the last six months, this unique city has become my home and the local cafes my favorite places. I’m now exploring the world of coffee here with my two cats and my best friend and I can’t imagine anything more beautiful.
A love affair with coffee
Since I visited Barcelona for the first time and drank the most delicious coffee and Matcha, I have not only bought a coffee machine and watched around 100 videos about coffee, I also really wanted to learn how to make good coffee, how to create the most beautiful latte art and how to taste the aromas out of coffee.
The rich aroma and the cozy warmth – every sip tells a story in the cozy corners of Barcelona’s unique coffee shops.
Exploring the coffee city
Barcelona is not just a city; It is a hub of coffee culture waiting to be explored. From the historic Gothic Quarter where I live, to the mountain Tibidabo, each neighborhood has its hidden gems.
Join me on my journey through the streets of Barcelona and discover cozy cafés hidden in corners you wouldn’t expect. I also invite you to consciously enjoy the morning with me and a cup of coffee, to cuddle the cats (or dogs) and to celebrate the beginning of a new, wonderful day.
Espresso or milk coffee?
While I appreciate the entire spectrum of coffee, my heart belongs to the intense taste of Espresso. The concentrated aromas and the unique taste depending on the roast saves my day, but sugar or milk powder never go into my favorite drink!
As a plant-based milk lover, my first choice for a Latte or Flat White is oat milk.
Barcelona’s coffee scene has embraced the plant-based revolution and finding the perfect Flat White with oat milk or even almond and coconut milk isn’t difficult.
More than coffee: a lifestyle
For me, coffee is more than just a drink; It’s a lifestyle. It’s about the conversations over a cup of coffee, the friendships that are made by the smell of freshly ground beans and the joy of the beautiful latte art creations.
Join me on this journey where every coffee shop visit is not just an experience, but a delight for the senses.
Writing and coffee: a perfect mix
Aside from sipping three coffees a day, I find great joy in writing about my coffee adventures, sharing recommendations, and discussing the nuances of a good cup of coffee. This is my way of spreading the love for this special drink. And all of this in the city of my choice, Barcelona, with endless possibilities.
