Back in 2017, Dalston Coffee, a tiny coffee shop was in born in Raval, inspired by the atmosphere of Dalston, a hip district of East London. Borja is a chef. Before diving into the coffee world, he has been working for several renowned establishments. At this time, he didn’t really know about specialty coffee. He discovered this world after tasting a flat white in London. That very moment, he realized he was drinking something really different, a new drink actually. For drink we had Finca El Salvador roasted by @nomadcoffee, with chocolate notes and very good body! This worked really well in the balanced cortado. The temperature was well balanced and the barrista came with excellent recommendations. For the espresso we had a coffee bean from Honduras, which very sweet and fruity. It did give a strong punch of almost sourness but the bold after-taste arrived in the end. A very complete espresso but perhaps a bit too specific for new beginners in the specialty coffee world. The place is a true hole-in-the.wall place where people from all parts of society are grabbing a good quality cup of specialty on the go. The space inside is small, with a few decorative seats on the side. In addition to the coffee, the menu is simple with some food options from @yellowbakerybcn. Upon arrival we felt Borja’s passion for coffee, the atmosphere is modern but funky and the simple design lets the coffee vibe definitively stand out A very unique and authentic coffee experience on the go!

Read moreOn a quaint street in Barcelona, I discovered Dalston Coffee, a small but charming café that quickly became a highlight of my trip. Despite its limited seating inside, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting.
I ordered a double-oat milk cappuccino and a croissant pastry, which were delicious. The cappuccino was rich and perfectly balanced, and the croissant was fresh and flaky, a perfect complement to the coffee.
What stood out the most was the friendly and efficient barista. Despite a long line out the door, she took everyone’s orders with a smile and ensured that all the customers were happy. Her kindness and skill added a personal touch to the experience.
Overall, Dalston Coffee is a delightful spot worth visiting. Whether you’re looking for a great cup of coffee or a tasty pastry, this café delivers on both fronts. Highly recommended for coffee lovers...
Read moreBest coffee in Barcelona no question! We have been to quite some decent places in Barcelona. However, I'm usually quite a fussy coffee customer. But the coffee here was perfect. Really. Somehow it seems as if in quite some places in Barcelona the cappuccino, latte and flat white are treated almost interchangeably. But here the flat white was the perfect ratio of espresso to milk, and the milk was steamed just right to give it that velvety texture without being too foamy combined with rich intense coffee flavor. The latte was also steamed just right to give it amazing comforting milky texture and the ratio also right to not make it overly milky and still let the coffee shine through. After finishing our coffees we had to walk back to tell the baristas how amazing it was. We encourage you to do the same! They...
