So we went off few steps and found this Pastry shop/bakery which had also a food venue upstairs. Here you can get also hearty snacks like roasted breads, hot and cold sandwiches for little money. Only disadvantage: when I asked for a menu in foreign language I hoped to get one in English, Frech or German, but it was in Spanish (Castellan) since we were in Catalonia and so the original menu was in Catalan.

Be aware they have 2 shops, so make sure you head to the recently refurbished at Plaça de La Palmera. It is a beautiful place. They have big tables, lots of space for the strollers, high chairs, changing station for babies, crayons for kids, and even a big TV, where you can ask them to put cartoons for the kids. It is bakery with an excellent selection of breads of all types, made with local products and bio, we loved the ´Tramuntana´ bread. We had breakfast, and we returned for lunched. In fact, you can eat there at any time. Inside or at the tables outside. I had grilled ciabatta with tuna for breakfast, with a could pressed green detox juice, and it was amazing! My wife is vegeterian, and she had a delicious quinoa salad with a red juice. Good value for money. Tottally recommended!!!

Stale sandwiches and bad coffee. Just dont waste your money.

It is an excellent bakery for both breakfast and lunch. I would strongly recommend the grilled sandwiches, although they have a wide range of gluten free, organic and vegan products. The atmosphere is great, and the waitresses are very attentive. The price is right for the quality you get.
