Nomad Coffee Bar (ex Coffee Lab)

Cute spot, great coffee. I didn't want to wait for filter coffee so I just got an iced Americano, but the beans were delicious and the Americano was fantastic. The inside was cute and I loved how precisely everything was being done. Truly treating it like a science. Really cute spot, expect a wait but it's worth it!

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had! I got the shakerato Costa Rica and had to order an Americano just to try the Guatemala wiwitz. I can really taste the beans here! The servers are assertive which makes sense with the amount of customers coming in but incredibly accommodating and passionate! I like to cafe hop usually but will be sticking to this one for Barcelona :)

A very special coffee shop, fully dedicated to the craft. I tried a chocolate-flavored bean both hot and iced, and both were excellent. If you are used to big chains with over-roasted beans, the taste here will feel very different – in a good way. Seating is very limited, mostly at the bar or a few benches, and the place gets crowded so the line moves slowly, which can make the atmosphere feel a bit stuffy.

Hands down the best coffee I had in Spain. This stands up to pretty much any pour-over I have had in all my world travels. While Spain is not the same level of craft coffee that we see in the US, this shop is every bit as good as anything you can get here. On that note, they do nothing BUT pour-over and espresso. I love this. I love this shop. The next time we are in Barcelona I will look for a guest house close to this shop so we can go here every day. Lovely from top to bottom. Absolutely fabulous.

If you’re a coffee snob, this is absolutely your place. Nomad is a really cool coffee spot tucked in and narrow street in El Born; they have specialty coffee with a large selection of beans. At the time I went, they did not have decaf. There is not much seating, so only about four bar seats and a bench, more for waiting for your drinks. Prices are pretty high, but it’s artisan coffee. Their coffee has a strong taste, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this is for you!

Who can fault coffee that not only tastes good, but is prepared to the gram? Best flat white I’ve had in Europe in recent memory, on Ethiopian Bochesa. Staff are also friendly even during busy times. All round great experience.

Its the best coffee place in Spain... I can assure you that... Staff are amazing, super polite and well trained ... You will enjoy every sip of your cup whatever you order ... Thank you nomad for the fabulous coffee

Hands down the best coffee I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. I've wandered the world and have been to dozens of the best cafes and roasters out there, and Nomad's upon the first sip electrified me to the core in the best way possible. The staff was wonderful, kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was welcoming and warm. And the bean selection was phenomenal and diverse. If you are visiting or live in Barcelona and love coffee, please do not pass them up.

specialty coffee roasters in the middle of barcelona! amazing cup of coffee. the staff was very kind and knowledgeable! nomad coffee made our trip 10x better because we were searching far and wide for specialty coffee. this was our favorite place to drink coffee. the environment was cool! quick service and perfect to hangout inside. i would literally fly back in a heartbeat. i order bags of coffee beans from nomad every so often because they always carry interesting processes and my partner lovesss their coffee! :)

Great coffee! Exceptional service! Highly recommend for quality espresso. We're so kind to our kids.

Alright cappuccinos, a little lukewarm for my preference but smooth texture and flavor. The baristas are super kind and friendly!

Knowledgeable staff who provide great recommendations, a good cup of coffee and a cute atmosphere. Not a ton of seating room inside but it wasn't an issue for us

Best coffee in Barcelona if you ask me

Amazing coffee hidden in the middle of the city. Went back multiple times while there.

Lovely spot. Snuck in and had an espresso. Sit down, chill drink your coffee and enjoy the world, Perfect. This is a serious coffee spot that you instantly feel welcome in. Really golden.

Loved the coffee - and the fact that one can choose from different options / flavors for espresso

Fantastic coffee in a very purist setting. There's only coffee and nothing else. Be advised they have no sugar in any form so if that's a need you have, better bring some along.

Excellent coffee shop. The baristas are friendly and really know they're coffee. If you're looking for Frappuccinos or caramel macchiatos, this place isn't for you. They don't have sugar. But if you're looking for a really good coffee or latte or cold brew. This is it. I came here twice during my two day stay in Barcelona because I was so pleased with what they had on offer. Highly recommend.

Nomad coffee is a craft coffee shop located in Barcelona. COFFEE (5/5): Various brew methods available including pour over, espresso drinks, and iced drinks. I recommend trying one of their pour-overs if you have the time to wait OR enjoying a cold brew (which is excellent). SERVICE (5/5): Very friendly and prompt service. ATMOSPHERE (4/5): Limited interior seating. Cool atmosphere. Merchandise for sale.

Nomad coffee offers an impressive range of coffees on offer. The baristas are very friendly and helped us pick out a blend that we loved.

After our fair share of cafe con leches and cortados, we were excited to check out this hip coffee shop in Barcelona--I've been following this spot on Insta for years, so it was cool to finally visit them in person. First off, the space is so rad. It's tucked away in a narrow passage way, surrounded by cute little boutiques, and the decor is clean and on point. Service was awesome--the baristas were very friendly and chatty and make great drinks. It was cool to see local regulars pop in while we were there, and it seemed like they knew everyone. We ordered an iced latte, nitro cold brew, and some beans to take home--which is something we try to do on every trip. While we waited, they served us some water and we grabbed a little bench seat along the side wall. Drinks were served in really cool glassware (we're nerds about that stuff) and we even asked them where they got them from, and they told us about a local store. Don't let anybody tell you the people in Barcelona aren't friendly. The city is full of amazing, friendly peeps and really cool coffee shops like Nomad. Sooo ya check 'em out!

Had the costa rican espresso con leche. Very good. I agree some prices on the menu were quite pricey but the costa rican one was the best priced at 2.5 euros. Strong coffee flavor Service was friendly and the place and decor was very clean

Nomad Coffee hides between buildings and alleys and it it easy to miss if you don't pay attention to their location. Their decor is super cute but with limited seat and most people had their coffee to go. There were a great variety of coffee beans choices and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I love my coffee with soy milk due to I can't drink milk but they only served with oat milk. Nomad coffee is definitely a must visit place for all coffee aficionados.

I think this was my favorite coffee of my time in Barcelona, if not my entire 3 weeks in Europe. Cool looking cafe with friendly service and more importantly, great coffee. It was pricey, so I only went once, but I'm regretting that now as I remember how good the espresso tasted. Would have liked to try more preparations... next time!

Very hip, hidden, and cozy coffee spot! I ordered an iced latte and my husband ordered a cafe con leche. The coffee was very very good and strong--much needed since I was so jet lagged from our red eye flight. A little bummed they didn't have pastries, only coffee.

A most come! Excellent coffee for serious coffee lover! They surely are proud of their coffee, and so they charge the same price for espresso, latte, or cappuccino. Love their confidence! Even though the coffee itself is what they specialized at, the baristas are very skilled at frosting the milk foam and making the latte art still, even with almond milk.

The Nomad Lab in Born is the best coffee shop we found over the course of a 2 week trip through Spain. It shouldn't be missed if you are a coffee aficionado. I'd recommend the flat white but if you are looking for something unique consider ordering the shakerato. The shakerato is an espresso shot that is prepared in a cocktail shaker. I went several times while I was in Barcelona and will return again next time I am in town. It is worth noting that they are only open Monday through Friday at this location. They have another location with only one espresso option that is open on the weekend.

Cute little shop. I loved their layout and their bathroom is phenomenally clean. I think they live upstairs. Everything was so clean and neat. They have a few minis seats and I must warm you, they do not have sugar. I love that they don't believe in added sugar. They are confident with their coffee! I tried the oatmeal latte and regular latte. They were both very strong. Staff is extremely friendly.

This coffee shop was pretty close proximity to our hotel; we didn't know but the coffee scene in Barcelona is on point, the only issue it seems like is the quantity of good coffee shops Nomad coffee is one of the quality shops; would go here again and have been going for the last week in Barcelona. Just there regular drip is pretty great, we wanted to do something they specialized in and it was there banana latte. It took a minute to get used to those two words together because I have never experienced those two, but we ended up getting it and the taste was pretty neat. I would rate the latte a 3.5/5; def had a banana taste to it with a pleasant coffee finish. The only reason I rated it less than 4 was the coffee wasn't it for being a latte and the price of the latte was pretty pricey. I know when you go into higher end coffee shops with artisan beans it's always a higher price but for the taste we were only left with it being just average. Now the other latte / cappuccino's we had I would rate those more on a 4/4.5 out of 5 because the temperature was just perfect, the taste was amazing, BUT more importantly the baristas knew what they were talking about and doing. A lot of baristas often aren't sure or aren't as familiar but the baristas that we're helping us we're very knowledgeable. In summary: this would be a spot we recommend, it's a nice cute and cozy spot, plenty of knowledgeable people. Will def be coming back to this spot.

Another wonderful coffee shop on our trip exploring Spain. It has a much more traditional step than most of the other coffee shops we've seen. It's probably the priciest (€3 for drip coffee) but the cappuccinos are excellent and it's situated in a beautiful corridor around El Born.

This coffee shop was everything we could have hoped for in Barcelona!! There's a few specialty coffee shops here but nomad was by far our favorite. You can tell that the staff here takes pride in the quality of the drinks and are super knowledgeable! Above all, the coffee was delicious and a lovely addition to my favorite third wave coffee shops around the world.

Cute coffee place very close to our hotel. 5 stars for the Nicaragua el Bosque coffee which my hubby liked. I am not a big fan of coffee but this place seemed to be cool and had some good coffee options. You can also stop by Casa Lolea just around the corner for great tapas.

This coffee shop has a super cute, yet classy feeling. We sat at the bar drinking coffee for a good hour just talking and it was quite enjoyable. I'm honestly not a coffee person, but I was dying from jetlag so I decided to get an espresso. But they didn't have sugar! So the espresso tasted super bitter (as it should, but still). I guess they don't believe in sugar?! So I was basically switching between drinking my espresso and drinking water. But it's ok, I was wide awake all afternoon! Also, it seems that their cold brew (specifically in the bottle) is a popular item so we gave it a try. It was a bit bitter for me, but then again I'm biased.

The other reviews are spot on. This place takes coffee very seriously! Barrista grinds the beans when you place the order; in my case he chose Costa Rican. Top of their game; advised that they have Kenyan coffee coming in within the next 2 weeks. Get the comments on the lab atmosphere/feel. Cool vibe: big bench with customers on one side with tablets and laptops. Just for fun: ask for sugar.

Nømad was the best coffee shop we went to in Barcelona, so much that we came back here twice. The cold brew from the flask is a neat concept, although I'm absolutely certain that the need to pay slightly more for just the bottle isn't necessary. The nitro cold brew is also great, and super foamy and filling. The cortado here is good, and I wish we had gotten a pour over here - at the time it was too hot to entertain a hot cup of coffee otherwise I would have done it. We loved here so much that we took home some beans for our Chemex at home - still just as delicious as when we had it in Barcelona.

Intimate and passionate is how I would describe Nomad Coffee. Single origin (offering 12 to 15 beans) adds that much uniqueness to the experience. I liked this place so much, I came here 2 out of 3 days visiting. This place is tuckeed away near the Gothic Quarter. It's a very small shop seating about 10 people max. Decor is very simple and the equipment is very modern and clean. Staffs are all very friendly and show passion in their work. Drinks are made with precise measurement and taste notes are recorded in the process. All of the beans are unique in taste and all formats of coffee are offered here. This is a must visit for coffee lovers traveling through Barcelona.

Great coffee and dope vibe. The customer service was above the norm for USA tourists so I appreciated that. This was close to arc triumph so we stopped by for a quick coffee boost. I would come again. PS seating is limited and they close pretty early.

Nice little coffee shop in a picturesque area of Barcelona easily reachable by walking. The baristas are knowledgeable and friendly. They will let you taste the coffees they have for the day before you make your decision. We ordered both pour overs and espressos and they were all delicious, with the espressos being the stand-out. We even ended up buying two bags of beans from them.

Fairly over hyped. I'd heard about Nømad and went to try it one weekday morning. Not many people inside, it's a small place. I ordered an espresso, single origin from Costa Rica. It was flavourful and delicious. The coffee is excellent, better than other places (and miles ahead of the average coffee in every single restaurant) but it wasn't a wonderful amazing experience, hence 4/5 stars. (It's just not as good as Cafe el Magnífico) The atmosphere isn't too relaxing, I could hear my neighbors complaining, and it didn't seem to be a place where anyone could have a relaxing intimate conversation. But if you get the coffee to go, probably worth it.

Attending a conference in Barcelona this week, my wife and I were craving some good coffee and we found Nomand Cafe on Yelp! Great spot, literally while in the wall. Not visible from main street, worth the extra steps..coffee purists rejoice. Having them ground the beans and making a truly hand crafted espresso, drip coffee or cold brew is amazing. We have been here 2 times and will be back the remaining days of our trip. Extremely high quality coffee and customer service. Excelente café en Barcelona, muy alta calidad y sabor. Muy detallada la preparación y presentación.

Surprisingly, we had hard time finding a place with a cup of great coffee in Spain. We were just sad that we came here on our last day, because both the coffee and the cafe are well put together. The latte here is tasteful, and there are beans ready to go. The alleyway where Nomad is located is great to walk across in the morning.

I don't drink coffee, but I couldn't resist trying a shot of espresso at this picturesque little coffee counter. Hidden in a gorgeous alleyway in El Born, Nomad would be easy to miss, but if you're looking for it, you shouldn't have too hard a time finding it. Ordering is super simple -- there are a couple of drip options, a couple of espresso options, nitro, and cold brew, and the flavor profiles are explained in english on the menu. The counter staff is cheery and bilingual, and it's a lovely little place to stop for a pick me up. It's super vibey and I could see how it could be intimidating for someone used to a cozier coffee shop feel, but once you approach the counter you'll see that everyone is friendly and you have nothing to fear, besides being over caffeinated, of course.

My favorite coffee shop that I've found in all of Spain! It's hidden down the cutest little alley/street. There are bar seats that you can snag to sip on your coffee. The baristas were so friendly and helpful. Highly highly highly recommend the flat white. Ended up taking two bags of coffee/espresso beans back to the states with me. I would have gotten more, if only I had the luggage space!

Cute little coffee shop located on a pedestrian street in a hip area of central Barcelona (there are startups located all around it, haha). Huge points for their coffees, which are GREAT. Also big props for a nice crew and good prices. Points off for very little seating, no wifi, and only one type of food. This is strictly a grab-and-go coffee bar, don't plan to spend much time here.

As the typical English tourists, my boyfriend and I use Yelp to try and find the best of everything. Scouring the internet searching for the hidden gems around the city that are usually reserved for locals... This is certainly one of those hidden gems! Tucked away along a beautiful side street, you could easily walk past this little shop, but you'd be an idiot if you did. We visited on a particularly hot day so decided against a warm drink, but instead opted for a cold brew. Served with ice, the coffee had obviously been handled by experts as it was smooth, and roasted perfectly. The place isn't huge, so if it's busy you may have to get a cup to go, but it certainly is worth it. We did both, and bought a bottle of cold brew that we enjoyed later at our hotel. In my opinion, they've got it all right here. Beautiful, classic Spanish building, serving beautiful, classic coffee. What more could you ask for?

This is the BEST coffee shop in all of Barcelona! I stayed in Barcelona for a month trying out Satan's Coffee, Cafés El Magnífico, Bracafe and Federal Café but Nomad was by far the best. They roast their own beans and really put love into everything they serve you. Trust me you've found your coffee shop when going to Barcelona.

Great to find good coffee in Barca. Only problem is the guy serving is very very serious. I was not allowed to put sugar in a cappuccino. Forbidden like a naughty ten year old and lectured that the coffee is so good it doesn't need sugar. The inference being that I must some knucklehead that knows nothing about coffee. When I said we were from Sydney his attitude changed. Everyone in Europe knew that Sydney has brained the Coffee world. Good coffee but not better than Single O or Paramount Coffee Project et al in Sydney.

Dropped in for a drink based on reviews but was completely ignored by staff while they chatted with friends the entire time. Waited 15 mins and still nothing, so I went to Satan's coffee instead where they actually know what customer service is. AVOID, unless you like pretentious, hipster-y type coffee shops where you wait 30 mins for a drink.

No doubt the best coffee in the city! It's a small hidden gem with a lot of coffee. Filter and espresso. The staff is very friendly.

When I went to Spain, I visited this hidden coffee shop and the interior was so cute and chill. I loved the americano and I really wanted to try the nitro on draft but it was not available. Before I left I bought a bag of espresso beans because when would I come to Spain??

Average coffee, if you are searching for a perfect espresso Barcelona is the wrong city for you. Nice employees, avg coffee, they think it's great though.

A coffee shop in the truest sense; nothing but coffee here, but the coffee is fantastic. They have a variety of coffee types available for everything from espresso to cappuccino to drip coffee, and they seem to do it all well. I only sampled the drip, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they make it it in small batches, so you won't be getting coffee that has been sitting on the warmer getting burnt for an hour. The barista seemed to be making a mean cappuccino as well, but I didn't try one and can't directly vouch for it. At least for my drip coffee it was no more expensive than a Starbucks, and was MUCH higher quality. If you need a caffeine fix, Nomad is your place.

I love coffee and I can't deny. actually a friend loved coffee and sought out one of the best coffee in Barcelona and this was it. The Ethiopian drip was light and a little bit on the sour side but a good sour. The Cortado was good and was a perfect ratio of milk and coffee. overall a great experience at the bar with the barista and also has a bathroom in the back. located in a cute alley way so don't miss this must try spot.

If you want a quality coffee, Nomand is the place!! Good selection of various coffees, you can also purchase whole beans.

The coffee shop that made me fall in love with coffee while studying abroad. The place is tucked away in an alleyway, and doesn't look too significant from faraway. It feels like you're in a modern coffee lab walking in with charts and posters on the wall. The quality of the coffee they serve here is amazing, while the staff can be a little pretentious, I didn't have any problems with them as they were happy to talk about their background and passion of coffee. If you don't know Catalan or Spanish, don't fret because the baristas can speak English.

I am always on the hunt for specialty coffee in a new city. Nomad was exactly what I was looking for. Their single origin espresso is delicious. No need for milk or sugar! Both of the baristas were extremely talented. We had a cortado and pour over that were both excellent.

I love a great cup of coffee, and we seek out the best wherever we travel. The barista loved his craft, and took his time. Maybe it's because I was in Barcelona having the time of my life, but this was the best cup of coffee I've ever had. To demonstrate this, my wife, normally triple/triple, drank her cup black and loved it. It would've been sinful to add anything to the cup.

Seems to be one of the few places that serves good (and thoughtful) coffee in barca. And lucky me they are also on the OFFF festival I went to. Cappuccino 2.- and cold brew 3.- not as pricey as Berlin yet.
