SIP COFFEE ROASTERS

a short detour off the ramblas, down carrer del pintor fortuny, and the city starts to feel more like itself. sip coffee roasters sits in ciutat vella, a neighborhood that gets a lot of foot traffic from people who aren't really looking, so finding a roaster this focused takes a little intention. they roast their own beans, which means what ends up in your cup has a shorter, more accountable chain behind it than most places in this part of town. the regulars here are loyal in a way that doesn't happen by default. worth going on a weekday morning, when the street is quieter and you can actually settle in with whatever they're pouring that week.
