café128 Carrer de Pau Claris★ 4.9Wi‑FiWork 100
Kafenion Barcelona is a stylish Greek café in Eixample serving excellent coffee and Greek pastries like banitsa and bougatsa crema. The space is clean and charming with friendly staff and warm atmosphere.
The space in the back is ample and mostly empty which makes it a great place to get work done... The seating isn't the most comfortable
