This establishment is renowned for its carefully curated selection of coffee beans, boasting over eight distinct origins alongside their exquisite house blend.

The place looks nice, and the flat white I had was decent, but nothing special. I was expecting more, I’ve had better at several other spots around the city.

Love the iced latte shakerato. Also tried the mocha shakerato and that tasted like a pure treat - chocolate milk of the special kind.

GOOD QUALITY COFFEE is what you get here. Always an amazing experience to get coffee here. The staff is super friendly and offers help when selecting beans. Been coming since 2-3 years monthly and never got disappointed. More so there’s some really payable prices for beans and their house blend only costs 6€ the 250g - GO AND CHECK IT OUT.

Great coffee - with different variety including takeaway beans (at least 8 origins). We tried Peru ???????? for espresso and B1 (blended) for Americano - recommend both! Staff is friendly and helpful.

Cafès El Magnífic is my go-to spot for takeaway coffee in Barcelona! The coffee is consistently excellent, making it a perfect place to grab a quality cup on the go. I also love picking up their coffee as a souvenir.

My favorite cafe in Barcelona and really appreciate the option of top quality decaf which is not very commonly available in specialty cafes in Barcelona. My only hope is that if there were any outdoors seats.

Coffee had been so good during our stay in Spain that we decided to buy whole bean to reminisce good memories we had and dropped by this store. The shop was not that big, but various kinds of beans were neatly arranged. Furthermore, the staff was kind enough to recommend and explain beans in detail for us. We bought 2 kinds of whole beans and 2 cups of coffee including Cortado. It could be good choice to visit, buy and sip a cup of coffee which was nicely roasted.
