La Fabrica Girona

Holy….THIS is what you HOPE FOR when someone recommends a restaurant: 5 Starts across the board. Service exceeded expectations; extremely friendly and helpful, never passed the table without offering a sincere smile /or ‘enjoying everything’? Food: Just….gorgeous and delicious. EVERYTHING. Amber stopped and chatted with us and sent us home with a few small branded cups: THANK YOU Amber:) We own a 31 unit restaurant chain in the US and appreciate ALL the details and commitment to excellence, believe me. We enjoyed LF each of the three days (not enough time!) in Girona and look forward to returning to the City AND LF. In the meantime, best to the LF Family, Anthony & dd.

I think the café is great. The food is fantastic; I had a bagel with avocado for breakfast. The latte tasted great, highly recommended! The atmosphere is great, it's very cozy to sit outside on the small square and enjoy the sun. Inside also looks really cool, super quaint. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. You don't need to book in advance, you just need a bit of luck.

We stumbled upon this absolute gem while exploring Girona, and we were so impressed! Despite arriving at peak time with two families, the staff managed to seat us right away and provided excellent service throughout. They also catered brilliantly for the vegan family in our group, nothing was too much trouble when going through the menu, which was excellent to see. We ordered quite a lot, and every single dish was genuinely delicious. Portions were generous, and the prices very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Even the coffee was fantastic. I rarely give 5-star ratings, but this was a superb experience from start to finish. Highly recommend visiting La Fàbrica…well done to the team!

Randomly found this restaurant with a high rating in Girona. And that was really surprising. The place has a nice story over the owners, really nice to know about them. The food was not just delicious but is really pretty, the atmosphere is cozy warm and unique. Is just like a dream restaurant I always had in my head. I really recommend it.

A must visit when in Girona. The place is very unique and I loved the vibe. We had the Nordic bagel which was fresh and tasty, however the dulce de leche waffle has mint on it and it took all the flavors away. The food looked so pretty! Chai latte was probably one of the best I ever had.

My favourite place in Girona for coffee and brunch. Excellent vegan options and alternative milks which is a huge plus for me. The staff are lovely, the vibe is good, the coffee is great and I've yet to have anything that wasn't delicious. We visit here almost every day when we are in Girona, it's a real hub with cool decor

Delicious food, friendly service and a lovely atmosphere to enjoy it all. We loved the chia bowls! My husband said the coffee is superb and I loved the rooibos tea that I enjoyed with the delicious cinnamon bun. I want to come back to try a bagel sandwich or avocado toast, which look amazing.

Went here for lunch while in Girona. Colorful and decorative bike themes cafe. Lots of delicious healthy food and vegan options. The avocado toast of course was good but I also recommend the beetroot hummus toast.

Beautiful presentation, poor execution. I had the pulled pork bagel, my wife had the avocado toast. The bagel was stale and reminded me of a processed bagel from walmart. The pulled pork was too sweet and lacked depth of flavor. It also had like thousand island dressing on it which made for a disappointing bagel. The avocado toast had an overcooked hard egg and lots of toppings like cheese, tomato and corn that I think over complicated the dish and took away from the avocado. Food was incredibly fast. I think everything is precooked and ready to assemble. The coffee here and their sister store Maria Espresso is great, but I recommend looking elsewhere for food.

We had breakfast at La Fábrica during our day trip to Girona. To beat some of the tour groups, I had it in my head that we'd take one of the earliest trains there and ended up arriving around 8:45am. We needed both breakfast and caffeine. La Fábrica has an extensive menu with savory and sweet options. I had the avocado toast and X had the Mediterranean toast. His was better, but both were very good. I also had an iced latte with oat milk, and it hit the spot. A plus is that they have a bathroom! Staff was very nice and friendly.

La Fabrica is a fantastic café. Weather your a cyclist looking for a pre-ride or post-rode spot where you can soak up some of the Girona cycling lore or just someone who appreciates a great coffee and excellent café food La Fabrica is the spot for you. The other day we were there in the morning while they were receiving their delivery of fresh fruits and veggies. All the produce looked amazing. Some was taken directly to the kitchen, but lots were loaded into the bins that you see at the front of the café, so yes what you see there in the bins gets used every day. As you can see from the photos, the presentation of everything is beautiful and it is all as fresh and delicious as it looks. The servers are super friendly and helpful, most of whom speak 2, 3 or more languages. And the food comes up more quickly than at many other places in town. Enjoy! Bonus points for La Fabrica in that it was founded and is run by Canadians

TL;DR: One-of-a-kind bike cafe owned by an actual bike pro. Very charming interior, with bike jerseys displayed alongside fairy lights & overgrown ivies, all set to trendy small plates. There's indoor and outdoor seating; either way your order at the counter. It's clear the owner put a lot of love into this place; the cute coffee cups reveal "Another?" as you finish the coffee & even the menu items are incredibly hip, with chia pudding featuring a dazzling persimmon, peach, and blueberry topping. Here's what we got after a 54mi bike ride: Fully loaded waffle: Ham strips inside (!) the waffle loaded with guac & sweet potato chips. Maybe a bittt too much BBQ sauce, but really flavorful and a great concept. Chia Pudding: Super beautiful looking & a generous portion. The chia was a bit bland though, so I might suggest topping it with sugar. Pulled pork bagel: Best of all 3. Actual smoked pulled pork American style with plenty of cheese. Super good. This place is great for a casual coffee if you are looking for an open, airy, and hip setting that is also bike friendly!

Great food, great service and great coffee... what's not to like? This gem is just a short block off the beaten path and worth it. Pay at the counter when you order, and then sit back and relax and they'll bring your order. The "fruits of the forest" is the fancy fruit dish you see in all the photos. I liken it to a deconstructed parfait. There is yogurt in the middle and the bed on which the fruit rest is all the crunchies.

This was an exceptional find in the old alleys of Girona. The owners have put in effort to make it outstanding. Delicious, fresh food - even almond butter which I hadn't found since arriving in Spain. Even the interior and lighting created an inviting setting. Super friendly staff. I highly recommend eating here.

La Fábrica is a fantastic lunch spot, and an even better place to pass the time on a rainy day. The entire staff speak decent English, as well as having menus in French, Spanish, Catalan, and English. They've mastered the art of a good chai latte, and their fluffy eggs are only outdone by their ability to masterfully plate and decorate every dish. The combined use of a playful assortment of decorative vegetables with functional delicacy makes La Fábrica an excellent choice for lunch, especially if you want to spend 10€-20€!

Beautiful spot for coffee or breakfast! Incredible decor and with a lively ambience. Excellent service with friendly staff

A nice restaurant tucked away in the old part of Girona. They have a really aesthetic interior. Menus available in English. The menu seems pretty international and breakfast-focused. Some things seemed a bit overpriced, but others were reasonable. We got smoked salmon bagels, which were pretty solid and reasonably priced. Great for a quick bite!

Oh my goodness, how delightful. Dirty Chai, and a morning bowl of oats topped in fresh fruit. The outdoor space was beautiful, and the meal was divine.

Sister cafe to the AMAZING Espresso Mafia here in Girona so I knew stepping in, I was ready for a great brunch! Not disappointed at all. I had the veggie scramble. My hubby the bagel with avocado (hold the turkey ham). I also had a cafe con leche with oat milk. All great! The decor is so fun. Full bike theme. Highly recommend.

Come here if you care more about the way your food looks than it tastes. They can make pretty plates but you can't get a decent breakfast here. They can't seem to cook a fried egg properly without it being white and slimy and my toast was stone cold. I ordered egg and toast because it was the thing on the menu that most resembled breakfast. If you like vegan nonsense for your breakfast with lots of berries or some colored paste smeared on your plate come here. Then they burned my waffles....

Lovely hidden place in the Medieval town. Love the decor and how the love the cyclists. The food is really delicious and nicely presented. Every little detail was well thought. Service was amazing with a lovely cashier. Quite different from my Barcelona experience. It's worth every single moment at this place.

Absolutely amazing! We had just arrived in Girona and were looking for a more substantial breakfast/lunch before seeing the city. La Fábrica was a top/recommended café in our book and it was so close to our hotel, so we said why not. I couldn't be happier that we went here. The interior is decorated so well--very trendy and everything on the menu sounded delicious. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We waited a few minutes for a table indoors since it was a bit chilly (the tables were full and after eating here, we know why!). You order and pay at the counter and then they bring your food to you. There were 3 of us, and we each got coffee (pictured) and a different main meal--the boss breakfast, fully loaded waffles (pictured), and dulce de leche waffles--and one pastry (pictured) to share. We were pretty hungry but our eyes ended up being bigger than our stomachs (you just don't always know portion sizes in Europe). The avocado spread was something I wasn't expecting in Spain, but it was very good. The fully loaded waffle is topped with what resembles terra chips in the US and the waffle was so filling, a perfect savory brunch. SO much popcorn comes on the dulce de leche waffle--so fun and so tasty. The consensus was the waffles were the best choice, but everything was phenomenal. The 3 of us probably could've split the two waffles and a pasty and been plenty content, but I suppose now we're set for a more traditional Spanish or Catalan dinner. The location is perfect and so easy to find in the old district, right near the Jewish quarter. 10/10 recommend! If we were spending more time in Girona, we'd go back here again in a heartbeat. Add La Fábrica to your "must visit" list in Girona; you won't regret it!

I was afraid to go to La Fabrica after reading that this is an enclave for elite cyclists. But don't be as silly as me. The cyclists should not have all the fun, and they won't bite you. They won't even look at you, LOL. They are so into what they do, and getting their fix of healthy foods they won't notice. GO. EAT. ENOY. This is a place that has done everything right, from the ambiance, to the offerings. The proprietors thought of everything from how they present their food, to how they store the napkins, the decor, bike locks on loan, two slotted bike racks inside. I just want to tell you first, about the food. Nutter butter. Almond butter bananas. Toasted coconut. I ordered more than one. More than once. And the Avocado Toast.... avocado, red pepper feta cheese oil and salt. Just look at the photos and the menu. Beautiful to look at as well as to eat. I went every day that I could. The baristas know what they are doing as well. First rate third wave barista skills that never wavered no matter if cold brew or hot latte. They roast their own beans and do NOT over roast. And fresh squeezed orange juice. i would like to say, all teasing of the elite cyclists aside, that I was worried that the ambiance would be like a member's only what are YOU doing here vibe. While the proprieters cater to the cyclists (after all one of them was a hard core cyclist himself) there is absolutely NOT an elitist vibe that would make you feel unwawnted. Exactly the opposite. It was a warm and welcoming experience each time I visited. Highly recommend for the eats and the greets. Best coffee and meal experience in all of Europe and I managed to go from Rome to Barcelona in search of worthy third wave brews.

Such a cute hipster cafe in Girona! I got the garden and burrata and the cheese was so fresh! Presentation was amazing as well for such a simple meal. Definitely a good spot to try out if you're visiting and want something other than baked croissants in the morning.

Yeah, it is really that good. We had bagels and avocado toasts. All very nice. Friendly service.

If you enjoy cycling culture, this place has the right ambience. It opens at 9am. Drinks revolves around coffee tea or coconut water. They sell nice cycling related accessories and their own jersey, bib and socks. There's even the odd multi tool and tire iron. Lining the walls they have cycling related decors. It's worth a visit just to relax among cycling paraphernalia if you're in Girona. You won't get as much enjoyment if you don't like cycling or cyclists but their mocha is still excellent. But their clients tend to be cyclist, so you get fit athletic and generally photogenic people to hang around with. How bad can it get?

This is some of the most beautiful and approachable food I've ever experienced. Yes, that's a paradox. But, within that paradox, there is just one truth and one word that describes La Fábrica and that is DELICIOUS. You won't just be delighted and satisfied and satiated. You'll feel and be at home.

Incredible atmosphere, staff and great food and coffee. The beautiful design and the connection with cycling make this restaurant unique. Most days you can see Amber, the Owner, working at the cashier or making coffee, super authentic and awesome. :-) Specially If you like cycling, this is a mandatory stop for you.

cute cycling club cafe, great coffee and breakfast foods. The decor of the place has a rustic cozy feel, picture of cyclist on the wall and gear for sale. The coffee is espresso mafia and offer diff pastries. You're able to sit indoor and outdoor.

I am a cyclist from the states, Girona is a fun town for cycling crowd. Lots of bike rentals and tours. This place is owned by ex-pats from Canada. The food is westernized international with a woke twist. I liked this theme. My wife loved it. We visited twice, one lunch and one breakfast. She ordered the hummus toast one time and the fruit pat yogurt bowl another. I tried both of hers, liked both. She loved their coffee. My experience was a little different. Order pork bagel first time, was okay, pork may as well have been from a frozen dinner, bagel was more akin to regular bread than a bagel, I did like flavor. Got egg on toast second, it's a single egg on toast that was way too toasted. I got espresso one time latte another, didn't think either was particularly great, just okay. Realize this is the trendy place in town so usually busy, both times we went through not so busy we couldn't find a seat. . Note we also had their coffee again at the mafia place that carries it. This was our third time trying there coffee and said screw it and ordered an Americano just to get something closest to the states .... Yeah still not that great, oh well. I liked all the concept of this place and gave it 4 out of 5 since my wife loved it so much. To me just missed the mark, especially when coffee is there thing, wasn't impressed and they are charging a bit extra for it.

This place reminded me so much of San Francisco. Completely hipster artist vibe except there, it's where all the bicyclists hang out. Avocado toast was delicious and at around $10, was right on par with SF. We'd definitely be back again, just need to make sure you have directions in the maze that is Girona.

This is the best breakfast spot in Girona. Coffee and cakes are amazing, pulled pork sandwich is very filling. Great place to start the day in Girona if you're planning on seeing the wall and churches of the old town.

AMAZING & DELICIOUS FOOD!!!! The food is to die for and the presentation is so beautiful! They use fliers and colorful fruits to dress yo their plates. Aside from the looks the food tastes better than anything I've ever had! Such a cute shop and friendly employees! I have had almost everything on the menu and it's all so good I couldn't choose a favorite! The hummingbird cake though is my favorite sweet! You NEED to go if you're in Girona!

Amazing! This is the first place we stumbled upon when we arrived in Girona in the morning too early to even check into our hostel. Avocado toast was even better than we imagined, coffee was delicious, and we loved seeing all the local cyclists who stopped in during their morning bike rides.

Very friendly staff, delicious fresh fruits and yogurts! Husband raved about his farmer's breakfast too. Presentations are gorgeous and photo-worthy. 100% worth a visit. Also kid friendly.

Nice little coffee shop - delicious espresso, and I like that they use local milk/bread etc. I do wish that they would offer pour overs! I really miss drip coffee when I come to Spain. The coffee is a little pricier than other cafes but it has a great vibe with indoor and outdoor seating, and although I didn't try the food this time they seem to have some good vegetarian options.

Yes. Just a resounding yes. I went here twice. The first time, I got the Mediterranean Farmer. The second time, I got the Humble Vegetarian. Both were excellent, but the Mediterranean took the cake. I also got some really nice black tea.

Everything about La Fábrica draws you in and keeps you there. Stepping down from street level in Old Town Girona, you'll see gorgeous stone walls and a mix of bike-themed decor, steel and wrought iron, plants, and books strewn about the family-style dining table. The food is fresh, locally sourced and over the moon. I had the Mediterranean Farmer dish and made a point to eat everything down to the last fresh baby lettuce leaf to the thinly sliced, dried beet chip and roasted beet smear artfully presented on my plate. The coffee is roasted by them and was perfect unadorned....black...no cream, no sugar and zero bitterness. It was so good I had a second with a fritter! The family style dining made it easy to start up a conversation with a group of ladies traveling from London for a bike trip. Biking is obviously a big deal in Girona and La Fábrica tastefully integrates it as eye candy....for the very brief moments you may take your eyes off your delicious food and coffee!

La Fabrica is the most wonderful place!!! The food is amazing and the personnel is the nicest. Park as soon as you find a spot, even if you have to walk a bit

Whoa! Most amazing food Girona has to offer, on top of the peaceful & serene vibes given within the restaurant as well from the staff! I'd give this place 10 stars if I could!

Super good food!!! Friendly staff who speak English, wide variety of food options, cute place. Go and eat here - you will be glad you did.

Great spot for breakfast in Girona. It has a great vibe, good innovative dishes, friendly staff and good location.

In a hidden little square (or at least hidden for a tourist such as myself!) we found this gem. We had terrific avocado toasts, one w egg, one with curry, both delicious. We also had a nice orange juice with ginger. Sitting in the sun in Girona with a great lunch ...what beats that?

Being a couple of bikers ourselves (triathletes to be exactly) we found this place fitting to our taste just like 28mm cotton tires would fit Javier Gomez' TT Specialized bike...i know this doesn't help for a good review but the bottom line was: We found real food served in beautiful and tasty dishes that left us ready to continue discovery the city after lunch. The same attention to details put in the decor, pictures and art was also in the food and drinks. Service was outstanding, friendly and fast. Carrying a baby we ran into special needs for which the waitress gladly helped us to manage them.

La Fabrica was a welcome respite from the traditional Euro breakfast options. I never thought I would get tired of croissants or pan con tomate and jamon but I was craving some clean energizing food. I had the Avocado Toast and my husband had Mediterranean Farmer. The bread was an awesome foundation but the toppings were just what I needed. Didn't know I'd be craving an egg so badly. Coffee was brewed to perfection and fresh orange juice was just that. I liked the cycling vibe even though I am far from that. The crowd was mixed and all friendly w each other at communal tables.
