SandwiChez Sants — Restaurant in Barcelona

I mean, this is just your average commercial white brand café. It has some cool-but-gimmicky glass facade, but you get over it the second time you go. It is well lit, and not too crowded (although the upper floor is very small).

The servings are limited, but not meaningless. The price is okay, I guess? I don't think any juice should cost upwards of 4€, though.

I mean, it's fine, they don't give single-use straws, and I didn't see any plastic bags. The square tables are pretty small, about half a meter 50x50cm, so it's fairly difficult to accommodate an area for a group (even 3 people gets crowded).

Its environmental degrading and plastic cups leach microplastics into the drink when they contain hot liquids, thereby making the drink potentially hazardous to consume for anyone who cares about what they are putting into...

I ordered a can of lemmon beer and the surface was dirty. I asked for a replacement and all of them were dirty. The server cleaned it with water which apparently worked, but when I was at the table I saw that not at all. The surface was wet and no napkins provided. The glass had visible fingerprints. The bathroom had no paper (depleted). The server came at 5pm and told us "you cannot be longer in the place" (with covid at 5pm they cannot serve more). No prewarning. Attention was in Spanish even when I...
