Brunch isn’t just a meal—it’s a whole event in Barcelona. And as someone who’s made it her mission to taste-test the city one eggs benny at a time, I’ve rounded up my absolute favorite brunch spots that are worth the hype. Whether you’re a tourist looking for the perfect avo toast or a local searching for a new Sunday go-to, I’ve got you.
These are the cafés I keep going back to—places with good vibes, amazing coffee, and plates that feel as pretty as they taste.
🍳 1. Egg Lab – For the Classic American Brunch
📍Sant Antoni + Eixample
💸 Avg price: €12-15
✨ What to order: Eggs Benny with pulled pork, or their Bacon Pancakes
Still my go-to when I want a no-fail, classic brunch. The portions are generous, the eggs always hit, and their pancakes are chef’s kiss. It gets busy, so either go early or plan to wait a bit.
🥑 2. Federal Café – For the Work-and-Brunch Vibe
📍Gòtic + Sant Antoni
💸 Avg price: €10-15
✨ What to order: Poached Eggs with Halloumi, Smashed Avo, and a strong flat white
Perfect spot if you want to bring your laptop and linger. The food’s fresh, the coffee’s strong, and it has the kind of calm energy that makes it easy to spend hours here.
