Hänsel is this cute little cafe on the streets of Barcelona, serving up some great essential sandwiches, pastries, pasta, juices, and coffee. My friends and I stopped by Hänsel on the last morning of our stay in Barcelona and it was a great experience all around.
I got the Bikini sandwich (a ham and melted cheese sandwich) and asked if I was able to add some spinach. While they usually don't include spinach in the sandwich, they said they can add it for me with no extra charge! Also ordered an Americano, which came in a cute espresso mug and was great.
Service wise, our waiter was fantastic. He could tell that we were tourists (obviously, from our huge travel backpacks) and recommended several menu items for us. The food came out quick and all the sandwiches were warm and toasty.
I'd recommend Hänsel to anyone looking for a high quality, yet affordable and quick place to eat for breakfast/lunch/brunch! It's setup like your typical cafe, with many small tables and several wall outlets (I think), so it's definitely a relaxing environment away from the bustling city streets.
French pastries are done in perfection. The pastries with filo dough are crunchy and very tasty. We tried the 4 cheese Quiche, was so good that melts in your mouth. The "cafe con leche" is well done. If you like sweet orange juice this is the place...exquisito!!!
The owner was very patient explaining the different pastries and food options and the server was very attentive. The ambience is very inviting, with a clear wood decore, clean and nice.
Have been eating breakfast here the last two days. Half of the prize of our hotel breakfast. Nice to be able to order scrambled eggs in addition to the usual Barcelona breakfast offerings. Fast, inexpensive, and great for a quick American breakfast. Try to crepes with jam !
I believe we were helped by the owner. Very kind and accommodating.
Okay... the eggs were superb. Scrambled eggs with cheese, mushrooms and ham. I asked my wife is this what fresh eggs taste like? If it is, I want fresh eggs every morning.
My first espresso in Spain.
More to come.
A tiny little hidden gem in Eixample. I went every morning for scrambled eggs and coffee. The staff were so pleasant and tolerant of my minimal Spanish! I loved starting my day there every morning.
Went to this cafe for breakfast on my last day in Barcelona and had a very enjoyable experience. Food was really good.
Between the two of us we had the following:
1. a sandwich with iberico ham - the ham is of very good quality... pure acorn fed
2. a ham and cheese bikini sandwich on coca bread - I love ham and cheese toast but this was really good. The coca bread had a hint of sweetness that complemented the saltiness from the ham and cheese. It was nice and crispy on the outside, and oozing with oily goodness from the melted cheese.
3. a sandwich with butifarra - I wanted to try butifarra, which is a Catalan-style sausage. They used the white one here. I liked this too!
4. Freshly squeezed OJ - nothing much to add to this ... it is what it is!
On top of that... I liked the old songs playing in the background too... definitely added to the positive experience. Would definitely recommend this place!
Very clean and simple!! Menu for lunch was kinda limited but they have great focaccia and salads! Light food with small portions which is healthy and doesn't leave you over stuffed!
My wife and I stopped in for a quick breakfast before visiting La Pedrera. The eatery is conveniently located north of Placa de Catalunya in the lower Eixample. We were greeted warmly by the owner upon entering and he was kind enough to personally review the menu with us My wife had scrambled eggs with toast and I had a bikini sandwich (ham and cheese). these were great. We shared a chocolate croissant, which was delicious. Prices were very reasonable considering the location and quality of the food. To give you some idea of what an honest business this is, they even provided us with free tap water (Gasp!)
"Hansel...he's so hot right now."
...and that's the first thing that came to mind when coming across this place.
Mugatu reference aside, it's a great place to take a break after strolling Passeig De Gracia. Staff is super welcoming, which is much more than I can say for several other shops and cafes in the area. They make all that juices and the two that we tried (kiwi melon and mango pear orange) were refreshing, delicious and thick (i.e. not watered down). Spent under 20 Euro for a breakfast sandwich, an egg scramble, a croissant and two juices.
I came across this cafe while looking for a different one. I'm glad I did.
I finally got to have some pan de coca. It was sweet and delicious. Light enough to to perfectly with my cafe con leche. I will probably try something else next time I'm here. I've heard the food is great. In the meantime, though, I'm satisfied.
I wanted to give this place 5 stars on service alone. The people here are so friendly! I really like the atmosphere and there were plenty of people when I went (around 6:30 on a Thursday.)
I will definitely be back and I can't wait to try their actual menu. Even still, for a coffee and a pastry this place is swell.
La comida aquí es bastante común, sin elementos sorprendentes que destaquen. Los platos son decentes pero no tiene esa chispa que hace que la experiencia gastronómica sea memorable como en otro lugar. Los postres no me dejaron pensando. En general, es una opción segura si buscas algo básico, pero no esperes sorpresas locas .
Esta panadería/pastelería da un toque especial de calidad a sus productos, y tienen una variedad aceptable teniendo en cuenta que no es excesivamente grande. Se puede consumir en el mismo local, que es bastante tranquilo y agradable. Estoy muy contenta con el personal, que es muy atento y simpático y me preparan en media hora los encargados que les hago por teléfono.

Quinoa orgánica con aguacate y tomate 10.95€, Menú 15.5€ de 3.platos caseros y bebida... está muy bien y es bueno. Uno de los pocos sitios con clientes de aquí, tranquilo y agradable. Lo nombró BBB ;).
Fui los días que me quede en barcelona y la verdad me fui muy feliz del lugar, los bocadillos de jamos super buenos con tomatito y la atención muy buena y agradable. Si algun día vuelvo a barcelona definitivamente volvere s desayunar allí
Cafetería ubicada cerca de Rambla de Catalunya. Ambiente tranquilo y todo está muy limpio. Te atienden muy educadamente.
Tienes diferentes opciones para desayunar. Quizás es un poquito caro ya que zumo, café y barrita de fuet cuesta unos 6€. Tienes la versión sin zumo y con media barrita.
Muy buena experiencia. Muy recomendable.
Muy buen sitio para desayunar por la zona. Tienen un menú con zumo de naranja natural, café y una barrita o baguette con bastante variedad (jamón, butifarra, tortilla con calabacín, queso y tomate, etc.) por 7,90 euros, lo que me parece bastante razonable. Además son muy amables y el sitio es acogedor.
Muy tranquilo, el servicio muy bien, el encargado me ha atendido muy amablemente
Buena opción para desayunos. Algo caro però con buen servicio. Bocadillos originales con pan de semillas.
Excelente atención al cliente, excelente café…
La masa hojaldrada del quiche una delicia, espectacular! La sopa de calabacín simple y exquisita. El personal divino también.
Además muy destacable que cuentan con un nuevo producto Ocean52 que protege a los océanos! Por más lugares como Hansel 💧🙌🏼
