Which Breakfast-Person are you?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it is after all the start of the day. This is why it should be as good as possible. But everyone has a different breakfast. There are those who start the day with just a coffee and others who need a hearty breakfast. Still others love anything sweet to start the day and many love a brunch to start the day late. However you like your breakfast, we have ten perfect places to eat breakfast in Barcelona for each type. So which kind of breakfast person are you?

The Sweetheart

If you love sweet, sweet and more sweet … Eat my Trip is the place to go. Here you can expect dreamy homemade sweet cakes and exceptional pancakes that are definitely worth a photo.

There are several vegan and gluten-free options on the menu. You can take a look at the menu here. No reservations are taken.

The Sleepyhead

Some people don’t need anything in their stomach in the morning, but place an extremely high value on a good coffee. So coffee only it is? Fair enough. For all those, Cafès El Magnifico is the right choice, as great coffee is truly their passion. You can find them in El Born and in El Raval. The brand was builded in 1962 and offers a different taste profile. And of course they roast their coffee practically every day.

The Acai-Addict

If you’re looking for a refreshing start to the day, especially with the warmer temperatures in Barcelona, enjoy an acai bowl by the sea. Brunch & Cake is perfect for this, as it’s a small family business with a great tradition: food made with the best ingredients and much of  love. Their gastronomic motto has always been: “Don’t trust a place that treats coffee or bread badly”. This is also evident in their Acai Bowl: they write on their website that up to ninety percent of the Acai sold contains sugar or glucose … Their Acai Bowl is a hundred percent pure and organic and you can really taste the difference. They offer other dishes based on recipes they have collected from around the world, with a special twist.
