Great breakfast spot, good options. They have big breakfast plates with eggs, beans, avocados, veggie, not just sandwiches like other spots.

It has been four or five years since my wife and I last visited Barcelona. We are happy to see Parallel Central survived the pandemic and people working there are as friendly as always. The food and drinks, especially their Mojito and sangria, are fantastic. On the last day of our visit, we went to Parallel Central to have lunch, and when we were about to leave the place, they gave us four different shots of fruit liquor to taste. I don’t know their intention. Maybe because we were carrying a big bag with us and they knew we were going home. It could have been their way of saying “one for the road” or “come visit again”. Whatever it is, it was a nice gesture. We will definitely go back to Barcelona again.

We loved it, it’s a hidden café on the large street amongs many others. We found it very hungry totally randomly, chose it by the menu written on the wall. Tasteful sangria! Original bravas sauce! Pleasant surprise

High quality sandwiches, breakfast and diners. Great wine and a sunny terras located by n Parallel. The waiter/owner(? is very professional and friendly and always effectively helping. For the English: he now has English breakfast!

Myself and my husband, Frank, stopped in past for breakfast. We opted for the great value omelette and coffee deal. In addition we also ordered some patatas bravas. The coffee was lovely and the omelettes very good also. The star of the show was the patatas bravas which were incredibly crisp given the humidity. Overall a lovely breakfast and one to tell the grandchildren about for sure Susan and, Frank, Matthews

One of the best places for a real sangria. the service is highest.

Eating was brilliant, service was easy slow but very polite

Personal motte amable I correct. tenen opcions veganes, que s’agraeix molt. l’única queixa és que vam demanar les taps amb la salsa a part i les van portar amb salsa. tot i així nit de partit pel que es pot entendre. el menjar estava bo i els combinats ben posats

Beautiful place, friendly service, excellent English breakfast!

Of the best in attention in barcelona. very cordial treatment and very professional waiter. we go as long as you play the barça and the terrace to see the game is great. special snacks are recommended pump
