About

Brunch & Cake has become one of Barcelona's defining brunch experiences, the kind of cafe that people plan their Barcelona morning around rather than stumbling upon.

For families, the menu hits all the right notes: fluffy pancakes, elaborate egg dishes, acai bowls, avocado preparations, and of course the cakes, house-made, visually spectacular, and the item that gave the cafe its name. Kids who are food-curious will love the visual drama of the dishes; kids who just want pancakes with toppings will also be completely satisfied. The cafe handles both ends of the spectrum well, which is exactly what you need when feeding a family with different tastes and appetites.

The cafe operates a morning-to-mid-afternoon schedule (9 AM to 4:30 PM), making it ideal as the first meal of a sightseeing day. Weekend mornings are busy, the cafe has a devoted following and walk-in waits can be significant. Reservations are available and strongly recommended for Saturday and Sunday.

Weekday visits offer the same excellent food in a much more relaxed setting, making a Tuesday or Wednesday morning brunch here one of the quieter pleasures of a Barcelona trip.
