A cozy neighborhood cafe steps from the Born Cultural Center, serving proper cortados for €1.40 alongside bocadillos and fresh pastries. The terrace offers prime people-watching on one of El Born's prettiest side streets.
Order at the bar rather than table service to get local prices - the same cortado costs 30 cents more if waiters bring it to your terrace table
