I stumbled upon this Granier bakery while exploring the Sants-Montjuïc neighborhood, and it was a delightful find! The location is super convenient, especially if you're coming from the city center or heading back from the Poble Sec area. Just follow the busy Avinguda del Paral·lel, one of the main arteries of the city connecting the historic center to Plaça de Espanya.
If you're coming from the famous Plaça de Catalunya, you can take the metro (Line 3, the green line) and get off at Poble Sec station, which is just a short walk from the bakery. It's a great stop if you're on your way to the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc or visiting the National Art Museum of Catalonia.
Granier has a cozy atmosphere and a menu full of delicious options. They offer a variety of fresh bread, sandwiches, pastries, and, of course, the perfect coffee to start your day or take a strategic break. I tried the ham and cheese bocadillo and a croissant that was simply amazing! They also have several breakfast deals that fit well with Barcelona's vibe, all at a very reasonable price.
Tip: Arrive early, especially if you want to grab one of the indoor tables. The place tends to get busy, especially in the morning, with locals and tourists enjoying a good coffee and fresh bread. If it's warm outside, you can order to-go and walk over to Montjuïc Park or Port Vell to enjoy the view with your snack.
For artisan bread lovers, don't miss the "barra integral" or the "barra Letizia," which have a unique flavor and texture. And if you have a sweet tooth, the donuts and the custard tart are a must-try!
Granier is definitely a worthy stop if you're exploring Barcelona, especially for the great value and convenient location. Absolutely a...

Read moreI was staying at Hotel Concordia next door and I had this bakery next to me and we had it everyday when we stayed. We had breakfast here with a large variety and range to choose from. Personally my favourite was the Nutella doughnut and I’m so sad I can’t have this unless I come to this bakery again :( I also had their croissant which had a really buttery taste and baked perfectly with many layers and was enjoyable. As a drink I additionally had their fresh orange juice was lovely too. If I ever visit Barcelona again, this is a...
