Jacarandá Specialty Coffee

First time in, and I can tell is the best cinnamon & cardamomo rolls in Barcelona (and myboartner id an amateur tester always he can ;)) The owner and baker, were super nice and friendly. We will move to the neighbourhood, and since now is already our best spot in Horta. Thanks and see you very soon! ♡♡

It's such a shame, such a nice spot, nice place but I've been coming here for a few years, on and off and the staff is not friendly at all. They offer only one type of milk, and when we asked why they just responded very coldly and with total lack of empathy. (My friend is celiac).

The owner has no clue what it is to provide a good customer service. I ordered a coffee and the guy is doing all sort of things except my coffee - there were no other customers waiting for their coffee, so after almost 10 min I asked him to make my coffee. I asked for a glass of water twice before he brought it to me...terrible service by the owner.

Cute little coffee shop, the cinnamon roll and cookies looked amazing. But I only had time for a coffee, I was positively surprised by the price! I payed 2,80 for a Flat White with oat milk and it was a very good tasting specialty coffee. Next time when I am around I will definitely get back.

Very nice and cozy cafeteria, delicious coffee! We asked for focaccia and bikini and they brought it with homemade potatoe chips 😍

The coffee was great! Also we really enjoyed the sweet treat we had during their pop up event 🥰

Amazing café making specialty coffee in the neighbourhood. Lucky if the owner is there because he's an expert at making the coffee and his attention to detail is a delight in itself! Great place to get your dose of coffee with a savoury or sweet bite

My main challenge in Specialty Coffee is to bring more people to this world. And it is the most difficult thing to do: to convince someone that has been drinking coffee since its birth that the quality and way he/she drinks is not the best one. And one of the most challenging acts is to offer specialty coffee in a region or place that is not very usual. Jacaranda Café, run by Orlando and Julia was one of these courageous businesses by opening a coffee shop in the neighbourhood of HORTA in Barcelona. Where there was no offer and few people with this culture. But you can, with lots of love and providing a good service, change that and bring more people to this world. Most of the times I have been in their coffee shop, I found not only a relatively good movement, but also local elderly people tasting their coffee and products. It means that, even with a higher price than commercial coffee shops that exist there, people are being attracted by the experience, quality of coffee and service. Their tiny coffee shop is visibly taken care of by heart in all aspects. Orlando is Peruvian, and has named JACARANDA CAFÉ after a beautiful tree that has much presence in South America, that remembers him of his childhood back there. They use NOMAD COFFEE as home roaster, extracted in a La Marzocco machine. I can say I have never drunk a bad espresso there!. You can also find good snacks, sweets (all made by the couple), and GARAGE craft beer too! From time to time Orlando and Julia offer a typical peruvian dish, usually at lunch time. I became a loyal customer and I like to go there especially when I want to stay away from the so crowded city center of Barcelona! Congrats Orlando and Julia for the initiative. You have my loyalty!
