Molika

Big choice of coffee, smoothie, pastry and small sandwich in a cosy and cute place with friendly staff. Cookies are great, as well as all the food we took. Perfect for breakfast or a break, very relax.

Menu is in catalan but servers speak spanish. Don’t order based on the menu on the wall, tehy wont know what you are asking for. The americano was good but they forgot the leche. Cozy and nice to relax

Me ha encantado descubrir esta lugar!
Tiene unos bizcochos caseros y unos dulces muy, muy, muy ricos!!!
Se nota cuando las cosas se hacen con amor. Es un lugar pequeño y acogedor, si quieres pasar un momento tranquilo en un lugar muy especial, este sin duda es uno de los mejores lugares de la zona!
No pierdas esta oportunidad y disfrútalo!

Este lugar fue un hallazgo inesperado en la búsqueda de algo de comer cuando la biblioteca pública a la vuelta de la esquina cerró y aún tenía 90 min para encontrarme con mi pareja. Hambrienta, pero aún con la energía para buscar un lugar de calidad me llamó la atención la pequeña mesa que tenían montados fuera del local. Entré y me sentí en casa.
Aire alternativo, pero con clase, un menú del medio día para chuparse los dedos y un café excelente. Además hay prensa para leer y un internet que funciona super bien por si quieres aprovechar el último café para responder unos email o actualizar el FB.
Es un lugar que da ganas de volver, para tomar un café y un bocadillo, para trabajar un rato o para observar las demás personas que están disfrutando de una pausa en su día caótico. Como un pequeño oasis, vamos. Y las chicas que trabajan ahí son super majas, otro punto al favor.
Repetiré.

I really wanted to love this place after reading all the great reviews, but everything that the three of us ordered was disappointing. I got a tuna sandwich that just didn’t taste very fresh, not to mention the bread was a little stale and the lettuce a bit wilted even though it was only around 10am. It was a Saturday so maybe they didn’t get fresh bread and produce that morning, I don’t know. I’m not a picky coffee drinker but my café con leche didn’t have the rich coffee flavor of every other café we’ve visited in Barcelona over the past 3 weeks, and my husband’s mocha tasted more like hot chocolate without any coffee flavor. My son got a hot chocolate which was the consistency of runny pudding and looked amazing, but the flavor was more bitter than sweet. The muffin/​pastry with sliced apples on top was pretty good, but there were lots of flies on the food in the display case so that kind of ruined my appetite. Wish I could give a more positive review but it was just a disappointment all around.

Awesome spot to stop in and start your morning right. Grab a quick espresso or cortado while near the Arc du Triomphe. But don’t bring the whole family, the space is small and intimate. Croissants are good, muffins are good, sandwiches are delish, coffee is good and the fresh juices (it’s not only orange, they have blends with carrot or apple or other specialty juices made while you wait) are savory and nutritious. Overall great establishment frequented by locals and operated by tourist-​tolerant, friendly ladies.

Klein und einfach wunderbar, alles vom Tee bis zu den Brötchen mit liebe gemacht!
Wir kommen jedes Jahr hierher zum Frühstücken und freuen uns jedesmal aufs Neue!

Cozy spot for a coffee break. Large and tasteful selection of sweet and salty pastries. Great for going solo or with good company.

A nice place for breakfast, with wide variety of pastries to choose from. Mocha was a little too sweet for me, while the hot chocolate was really thick. Recommended to people who loves to find a nice café to chill.

Café con un aire muy provenzal enfocado a enamorar a ese nicho de gente que valora tomarse un café acompañado de un dulce (o también salado, hay bocadillos varios) a un ritmo lento rodeado de un entorno armonioso. Un punto a favor en este sentido es que tienen WiFi disponible.
La comparación local puede ser el Federal Café o Spice Café. Si no eres de Barcelona, seguramente lo que más se le acerca es el Le Pain Quotidien.
Sin embargo, si no le pongo más puntuación es que el producto no me acabó de satisfacer. El croissant de chocolate estaba bastante insípido y sobre todo seco. Era de estos croissants que tienen el chocolate solidificado rodeado de una masa bastante seca. No parecía recién hecho.
El Café en si, tampoco era el que mejor he probado en absoluto. Un café normal de bar normal de Barcelona.
El bocadillo resultó mejor que lo anterior pero sin grandes alardes.
Desde mi punto de vista, Molika da la sensación de que conocen la fórmula y el envoltorio pero no están tan preocupados del producto. Me gustan los lugares que hay una coherencia entre lo que ofrecen y cómo lo ofrecen. En este caso, hay un desequilibrio entre la decoración con lo que consumes. Es fácil deducir que el producto será tan bueno como el ambiente, pero no lo es en este caso. No es ni mucho menos para suspenderlo, pero si se pusieran las pilas en este sentido, sería mucho mejor.
(Aceptan tarjetas de crédito para un consumo mínimo de 5 euros)

Cute little café with delicious-​looking desserts, pastries, etc.
Décor was very cute with aesthetically pleasing chalkboard menus. I think it’s a little bigger than the average Barcelona café. There are 4 or 5 little tables near the front of the café, 1 large table (my friends and I shared with some other people), a counter area for mostly chatting (not much space to work on), and a back room for bigger parties. I think they take reservations for this room.
The café con leche was good. I’m not really too much of a coffee connoisseur so I can’t say much.
WiFi was free, just one outlet where I was sitting (big table).
I’ll be back!

Nice place, good pastry selection and actual good coffee to boot. A nice place to come retreat from the city’s hussle bussle or to extend your working hour away from the office (with free wifi)
Definitely top 3 café to be at in Barcelona

Molika and our barista Laura were amazing. I was at a hotel down the street and Unilocal directed me to this cozy and coffee shop about 5 blocks away… It was worth the short walk. I literally started almost every day in Barcelona by stopping by Molika.
What puts this place in my top 10 coffee shops of all time and my favorite in Barcelona? The coffee is outstanding, the barista really takes pride in the drinks that are produced. I had their cappuccino and their mocha. A note to Americans, their mocha is on the smaller side, much more like an espresso shot with chocolate and whipped cream (still tasty though, just different). The selection of pastries was perfect, everything from macaroons and croissants to some other interesting treats I’ve never seen before. They also had a large variety of ham and cheese sandwiches, which are quite common in Spain. Their fresh yogurt was delicious as well. The best item I had though was their bacon quiche, it they have it available, it is delectable.
The décor here looks like the apartment of a woman in her 20’s, it’s cute with wooden signs and posters with memorable quotes and words of wisdom and inspiration. The vibe really fits. They also make fresh OJ, not with a machine, but by hand. They also have wifi. Stop by here and enjoy yourself, you won’t regret it.

I’m still giving this place 4 stars– food is excellent, coffee is excellent, staff seems to be much friendlier now. The only problem with this place is that it seems to be the hot spot for parents and little out of control children! Steer clear of ¡Molika on Saturday mornings and most afternoons around 15:00 — 17:00 — that is unless you have little children yourself.

Ya habíamos intentado ir a este café un domingo de madrugón, pero era demasiado temprano como para que algún café estuviera abierto, así que esta semana lo volvimos a intentar, en un dia de trabajo. Fuimos por un café y no pudimos resistirnos a una pequeña ensaimada y una tartita de manzana con crema. El café muy bueno, y como todo lugar adaptado a las costumbres actuales, tienen leche de soja; los panecillos que pedimos, buenísimos también, frescos.
El lugar es muy acogedor, decorado con buen gusto y la música discreta pero agradable.
De momento sólome aventuro a poner 4 estrellas porque no no he probado la carta aún, pero seguro volveré a buscar la 5a!

Molika sería esa cafetería que descubres un día sin querer en tu barrio y no estas seguro de si ha estado siempre ahí o la acaban de montar. La entrada es pequeña y mas bien discreta, solo tiene una mesita y una silla al lado de la puerta, que no queda claro si es una terraza a medio montar o un simple atrezzo.
Entonces entras y te das cuenta que el lugar tiene cierto encanto. De hecho bastante encanto. Todos los detalles están cuidados. Muebles antiguos, lamparas industriales, basculas de los años 70, cada mesita es distinta… sí, de acuerdo, todo esto nos suena mucho ya que parece que todo el mundo se ha puesto de acuerdo últimamente para decorar así los locales modernos… pero la verdad es que cuando está hecho con gracia me sigue causando esa impresión como del primer día.
Te pides el café, la pasta, te sientas… no hay mucha gente, la música es tranquila, la sensación es agradable y piensas: este finde me cojo un libro y me vengo aquí a leerlo.

Good coffee and croisants. Lovely location. Don’t go there though if you intend to hang out and work. The cranky barista — perhaps the owner — asked us please not to take up so much space because apparently the round table one of us was using for his laptop was larger than the surrounding round tables and therefore only to be used by more than one person despite the fact that there was still plenty if space for other customers to sit. Lunch looked decent but we left for a more relaxed service.

I am guilty of being one of those Unilocalers that religiously lives by the reviews to find great places but never add any myself. In fact, I haven’t written a review since 2008 so this should really be a testament to how great Molika is. My husband had a work event in Barcelona this week so me and my 9 month old decided to tag along and explore the sites while hubby was working. I, of course, Unilocaled cafés near me because I’m making it a personal mission to eat my way through Europe one chocolate croissant at a time. Molika popped up with perfect reviews and only 1 mile away so I decided it was a good opportunity to walk off my pastry addiction. When I arrived, I have to say, it was maybe the cutest decorated café I’ve ever seen, which was extremely inviting. As my son and I walked in we were immediately impressed with the sites and smells of fresh pastries and breads and warm coffee as well as the delightful smiles and warm presence of the staff. Mi español es muy malo, but the staff were extremely patient with me and able to guide me to what they are known for. I wish I’d caught the name of the cake but it was similar to a spice cake with cream cheese filling and frosting. It was moist and delicious and absolutely hit the spot for an afternoon snack. Not to mention, the staff entertained my 9 month old with waves and smiles and a game of peek-​a-​boo so I could enjoy my cake in silence for a few minutes. I will likely be returning every single day until we leave. Absolutely recommend a trip and there is a nice Plaza and fun shops nearby as well.

This little café at Casp/​Bailen is one of my favorite in Barcelona. The carrot cake is a must have, and no need to mention the great coffee they make. Staffs are young and nice, fluent in English so no worries on communication. The interior decoration is simple yet comfortable. A great place to be.

Endroit cosy, agréable et propre. Pâtisseries délicieuses et sandwich alléchants (non testés ce jour). Le café et leur thé vert valent le détour! ! Les prix sont très correctes surtout vu la qualité de leur produits. Bref, je recommande vivement! !

Free wifi– very cute café!

I love Molika.
I lucked out that I was staying just down the street, because I ended up coming here almost every day for two weeks. The baked goods are delicious, the coffee spot-​on, and the staff is super friendly. They suffered my poor, mumbly attempts at Spanish with great tact!
The interior of this place is awesome, too – lots of old French adornments, lots of space, and usually some good music on the stereo. It makes for the type of place you can just relax for hours with a book, friends, or just your thoughts.
One thing that sucks is that they close pretty early (2 p.m.).

So awesome. Reminds me of Ceci Ce La in New York City. Definitely french operated and owned. Everything is delicious and staff is helpful, sweet and beautiful. Truly fortunate that this place is right downstairs.

i am not quite sure if this is love at first sight or purely an infactuation…
but for now, molika is as close as it gets to my romantic notion of a parisian café.
molika has added meaning to my mornings in barcelona.
especially endearing she is, on a wet and cold morning as today.
yes, most of us would rather sleep in, snuggled up close to our loved ones.
but my molika is not in bed with me but up and running by 7.30am on a week day!
and in case you mistake her for the easy to access girl next door, she isn’t.
molika is a 4 blocks pilgrimage for me, once, twice maybe three times daily.
her small inviting frame opens up to a warm, cutesy yet rustic home kitchen.
her sweet and savoury treats catches my eye almost immediately as i enter.
from the simplest of croissants to apple tarts to her sandwich baguettes.
all done well and everything freshly baked behind.
croissants are my yardsticks for bakeries and cafes.
and molika’s rendition checks all the boxes.
a compact non descript exterior flakes at first bite, releasing sweet and buttery notes whilst seducing you with it’s fluffy airy light interior, ending with an ever so slight chewy drag.
affirmation indeed of why i lust her so.
i’ve seen many a latte art but molika led me into the world of cappuccino art!
her deft artistic use of chocolate sauce further deepened my lust for her.
and as her interior beauty is as desirable as her façade, molika is for keeps!
thanks! thanks! thanks! thanks molika!

Molika es una cafetería como pocas, es agradable, estas bien atendido, todo es fresco y delicioso, cuidan cada detalle, hay variedad.
Un lugar con estilo en el que se puede comer bien, tomar un café, un helado. Buena relación calidad/​precio.
Está muy bien para desayunar: variedad de bocadillos que resaltan por su frescura, buen café. Para comer al mediodía hay un menú o fórmula en la que puedes elegir cremas, ensaladas, quiche. una copa de vino, zumos o cerveza.
Lo mejor para mí, y es difícil decidirse son los postres. Las tartas son hechas cada día, variadas, frescas, diferentes. una buena manera de consentir el alma con dulce de verdad.
Amo el Molika.
