Salvatge Coffee – Cafetería de Especialidad en Gràcia — Restaurant in Barcelona

This is a place for specialty coffee. I am a UK resident who attended here in summer 2024. Despite speaking only limited Castilian Spanish and no Catalan Spanish, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. They gave an introduction to the coffee they were serving on the day (as I understood it, a light roast from Kenya which was brewed on the Clever-brand immersion filter dripper). We were seated in a cool, low-lit area on a hot day which was very pleasant. The speakers played classical music at a low ambience. The barista brewed our coffee and presented it elegantly in wine glasses and a carafe. They paid a lot of attention to the drinking experience: the music and light allowed a calm space to savour the flavour of the coffee without distractions; the choice of wine glass to serve allowed an appreciation of the aroma and colour.

Don’t let the simplicity fool you, there’s gold in this place. You can easily order a flat white or americano, no need to stress. But if you’re a specialty coffee hunter, this is a good place to stumble upon.

I love talking specialty coffee, especially with someone as passionate about beans, sourcing and roasting as these guys! Had a lovely conversation and tried some really special coffee. They have a decent selection of beans and roast profiles. Prices range from €12-30.

When a bag of 250g costs almost €30 you have to understand that it’s going to be a once in a lifetime experience. Experimental microlot farming is a...
