Pleasant place for a quick coffee as it is in the middle of a residential area - away from tourists. Good products. Opened recently and seems to be doing well.

What to say about Urban Cafe? This is a very quaint corner café in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi neighborhood of Barcelona. The service is very nice, and the food quality is amazing. The coffee is smooth, and I'd recommend trying it with the oat milk. The flauta (sandwich on narrow baguette) was delicious, and it comes with the tomato paste typical of Catalonia. I highly recommend it!

Quick light lunch in the hood! Orange juice, Coke with ice, freshly squeezed orange juice plus a ham and cheese panini, an avocado-tomato toast and a jamon Iberico sandwich! Nothing out of the ordinary for ordinary snack fare but what made it "special" in its own little way was Sebastian, the waiter: affable, good natured. When I pointed to the menu and asked him " What's the most popular?" Without batting an eyelash, he replied " Yo" ( me) then flashed a big smile. Cozy place, pleasant atmosphere.
