Core Coffee

you're on carrer de la petxina, a short street in the older, denser part of ciutat vella where barcelona stops performing for tourists and gets on with itself. core coffee sits at number one, which puts it right at the edge of that shift. the place has built a following that keeps coming back, and in a neighborhood this well-trafficked, that kind of loyalty doesn't happen without something real to anchor it. this is a roaster, not just a café, so the coffee you're drinking was almost certainly roasted close to where you're standing. if you're in the barri gòtic or the born and need somewhere to stop that won't waste your morning, carrer de la petxina is worth the small detour. come for an espresso.
