Departure Coffee Co

About

If you’re looking for an oasis to escape the tourist traps in upper Raval or Eixample, where you can enjoy art, wine, coffee, and savoury or sweet snacks, Departure Coffee Co. is your place. You can enjoy a conversation, maybe catch up on emails, or enjoy the artwork exhibitions that line the walls, promoting local artists. This is great for a respite during your holiday or work day, and you will enjoy some of the best local products available in Barcelona. 

Wine 

While Coffee is the main thing at Departure, the owner have selected some of the best wines to compliment their dessert and snack offerings. Led by a few choices from several appellations, you will have something that is rare, typically organic/ecological, artful (to match the interior design), and definitely a match for your choice of gastronomic compliments. We’re known to go in solely for a glass of wine, as the space is so tranquil and inviting. 

Cuisine

This is all about a breakfast, light lunch, afternoon snack, or dazzling desserty delights. From cheesecake, to the best Avocado toast in Barcelona (we recommend the ham on top of the avocado option) or a lovely salad, you can enjoy fresh ingredients that are all locally sourced to enjoy in a variety of ways. Oh and their coffee is to die for, as it is all locally roasted quality espresso, served with a splash of art on top.

Atmosphere

As it is located on a quiet dead end street where traffic cannot go, you can enjoy either a tranquil stop outside at bar, or inside amongst the artwork, keeping in tune with its former life as a furniture maker, with reclaimed woods, stone, and gorgeous distressed wood tables. The service is impeccable, friendly and warm, almost making you feel like family from the moment you walk in.

Secret Tip(s)

This is where we go to enjoy a glass of Jaspi Negre from Coca i Fito, usually served with the aforementioned avocado toast accompanied by a salad for a healthy lunch. Chased with their impeccable cappuccino or even their iconic flat white.

Conclusion

If you want to escape chain restaurants, bad tourist food, and you want to support top quality local products and people, this is your place. Maybe you’ll even take home one of the pieces of art to remember your stop. And by the way, you’ll want to walk there. Driving is impossible ;-)
