Hush Hush Cafe

TLDR: Quick pitstop for a coffee. ___ Stopped in at this tiny shop while walking the streets and in need of a midday pick-me-up. I got a flat white to go. I have to admit, I had way better coffee while visiting Barcelona, but this was still solid. Nice staff. It was a quaint little shop with outdoor dining area as well. They do various baked goods.

My favorite spot in Barcelona! Good for brunch, a drink, a coffee, or a snack. I tried so many coffee places and this place was the best. Great coffee, super cute space that is perfect for studying, working, or sitting on a sunny day. They have yummy cakes and snacks and the service is lovely. They also have a punch card if you will be in bcn for a while!

I ended up at Hush Hush because my kids (well, one daughter, two nieces) were on the hind end of breakfast at Alsur on the plaza and I just wanted a cortado. They suggested I sit with them but their impromptu 'review' of Alsur was kind of meh so I said "see ya over there" and wandered in to an immediately calming atmosphere - mind you, I don't mean the café is a tranquilizer, just that it is a kind of tranquil oasis in Barcelona and even within the immediate area of the plaza, which is in the Gothic 'hood so is always busy. It is small, and has the coziness of a small place that wants to be cozy. The youngish rogue behind the counter was buzzing to ensure the quickest service possible to the several patrons, and the youngish woman that was his colleague was friendly in welcoming me after serving someone waiting at the bar. I asked about a cortado and was happy to be asked a couple of clarifying questions that ensured that I got what I wanted and not someone else's idea of a cortado. The youngish rogue-looking barista seemed just the right amount of outgoing for me so I struck of conversation about the café, his nationality, their menu, and he was enthusiastic about conversing, as well as interesting and playful. My companions arrived and we all sat in the 'back' - mind you, it's a small place - and I remarked at how much I liked the place already. We noted that their kitchen was a space about the size of a large sub-zero refrigerator (I'm not kidding); I think the only thing they can do is make hot and cold sandwiches. I would have tried one if I were hungry. The cortado was very good, as was the service and of course the staff, with whom we talked some more. I came back the next day and was immediately recognized and given a welcome back and a smile. The second day was even better than the first, and a local sitting at the bar recognized me and the sriracha shirt I had been wearing the day before and struck up conversation with me about my shirt as he traded playful banter with the female barista - he was clearly a long, long-time customer. I felt utterly happy that this place exists. Simple, but one of my top memories of Barcelona.

Da gusto sentarte a tomar un café con un buen bocadillo el trato es muy bueno lo recomiendo

Puede parecer algo caro, que en sí lo es. Pero los nachos valen lo que valen, están buenísimos, genial ese toque de philadelphia. Personal atento y muy amable.

Genial cafe y precio justo! Nos falló la falta de servicio en mesa ( terraza) cuando estaba prácticamente vacío.

Muy buen lugar para tomar brinco. Café excelente. Gran trato humano.

Comida original. La plaza en la que se encuentra esta muy bien. Me gustó la limonada libanesa. Para probar está bien.
