Mauri is one of Barcelona’s true gems – a café that combines rich tradition with an unforgettable culinary experience. Established decades ago, this spot has become a beloved landmark, known for its dedication to preserving time-honored methods while offering something fresh and exciting. Located in the heart of the city, it’s perfectly nestled in one of Barcelona’s charming neighborhoods, making it the ideal stop whether you’re exploring nearby sights or just strolling through the vibrant streets.
The Kakao-covered almonds are an absolute standout. Made in the traditional way, they’re a flawless blend of crunchy almonds and smooth, rich cocoa – a treat you won’t be able to resist (trust me, I couldn’t). Then there’s their avocado and caramelized onion sandwich – not only does it look amazing (check out the photos!), but every bite is bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of sandwich that feels almost too good to be true, yet it’s real and right here waiting for you.
Let’s talk coffee. I’ve had coffee all over the world, but the coffee here? Next level. Perfectly brewed, with flavors so rich and smooth it feels like an art form. Pair that with the café’s commitment to using only the finest ingredients, and I’m still amazed at how reasonably priced everything is. High-quality food, incredible drinks, and prices that don’t break the bank – what’s not to love?
The staff are just as impressive as the menu. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to make recommendations. Their warm and welcoming attitude makes the experience even better, as if you’re part of the family.
Mauri is more than just a café – it’s a slice of Barcelona’s history, wrapped in modern charm and flavor. This is the kind of place you’ll want to share with everyone you know, so tell your friends, bring your family, and make it a part of your Barcelona adventure. Don’t forget to check out the photos I’ve uploaded, and be ready to fall in love with this incredible spot!
Mauri isn’t just a stop for coffee and snacks – it’s the start of an amazing day in Barcelona!

One of the best coffee spots in Barcelona with delicious and fresh pastries and high quality coffee. I really loved various cakes there.

What a horrible experience. I have travelled the world and never have I encountered such a bad service. I sat down and the waitress basically said “what u want?” And with an attitude. I asked for a toasted croissant and it was cold as an ice cube. Then we wanted a coffee and the attitude kept on . All looks pretty on the outside but all is gone when you sit down. I rather go to the starbucks around the corner .

We enjoyed lovely coffee and croissants outside recently on a Saturday afternoon. Great location to people-watch but don't go if you are in a rush! The waiters have perfected the art of avoiding eye contact when we tried to get their attention to pay the bill. Fabulous place!

First time visit, we don't know there are seperating seating for coffee, and meals. Had sit in the wrong place, most staff doesn't speak English.
Great selection for pastries.

If I could go to Mauri everyday for breakfast, I would. It's a 90 year old charming cafe, brimming with older locals everyday. You will be spoilt for choice with their assortment of sweet and savoury they have a loyal customer database. Best of all, there are no influencers. It's run by a charming elderly woman and a staff that you know is there for the food. You order the food and pick it up from the counter, and they add your food amount to a card which they give you. Coffee and tea is served at your table - and the amount is added to your card. At the end of the meal, you take the card and the cashier rings up the total. Try the foie gras bun ! This was my favourite meal in all of Spain. No pretence, just great food and ambience for people who want to chill.
