After years of searching and trying and exploring, I finally found what I can call a nice café in Barcelona. I passed in front of it a dozen times and mentally took note that I should come back and try it one day.
Finally, a friend of mine invited me for a coffee praising this “nice café” in Verdaguer. Little did I know she was talking about the same place I wanted to discover. So we met in Granja Petit Bo.
Granja Petit Bo, a nice café in Barcelona
Its location is great: 5mn away from Verdaguer Metro Station on Passeig de San Joan. In the past 4 years, this “passeig” (or avenue) turned into a trendy going out area with great places like this one.
I like the look of this café from outside. The white inscription on the front and the door-windows that open on the street. At brunch or lunch time, there is a queue to get in. But fortunately, I never waited too long.
Inside, it has a vintage style: it is luminous, simple but warm, with a big wooden table near the windows. There are also comfy sofas on the sides including old leather ones. You cannot imagine how long I had been searching for a café with this type of sofas where you can just drown into. Luckily for me, they always placed me on those sofas… I particularly like the red one. I also like the pitcher filled with a nice bouquet beside the sofas, the lights and the mirrors.
The food is always nice. Simple and tasty like my eggs. I like the smoothies too, all with natural ingredients. And prices are quite reasonable. Last time, we paid 14 Euros for two smoothies and an egg dish.
Is it worth it going there?
Brunch at Granja Petit Bo
All in all, it has a great location, a nice decor, comfy sofas, tasty food and smoothies, decent prices and relaxing music. How about the service? It is usually friendly. Last time though, the waitress gave out to me because I got up to pay at the till. She wanted to come to our seat and have me pay there. Not sure what the biggie was and definitely not a matter to give out to a customer. But apart from that moment, I cannot really complain.
It is also not a place where you can sit with your laptop and work your way from what I experienced. But to me, it is a positive aspect. An opportunity to disconnect for a little while and enjoy the present!
I like this little place very much so I hope you will try it too. Let me know what you think in the comments section!
