I'm not really a chocolate fan, but I picked up some good stuff for my friends. I did enjoy a slice of their red velvet cheesecake. It was delicious. I didn't dine in, but I saw a few customers come in and were offered seating.
Long wait New Year's Day.... worth it!!!
Best Churro for the Best Hot Chocolate in Barcelona. Must come and check this place if u happen to be in La Rambla
Xocoa is one of the many bakeries in Barcelona.
They have different desserts and chocolates. Also coffee and hot chocolate. They are also known for their churros.
This shop is located in a small, sketchy alley. It was kind of hard to locate but I eventually found it.
For 5 euros you get hot chocolate and 5 churros. They were good but not as good as the hole in the wall mom and pop churro only shops.
My wife and I came here for churros after our running bean gothic walking tour and dinner nearby. We ordered the a churros and hot choco with no whipped cream and a coffee to one waitress. another waitress brings us two orders of churros and the choco with whipped cream. The waitress kindly remade our choco and let us eat our second order of churros without charging us for me.
This place is nice wind down and have good dessert and company.
Churros with chocolate! We tried it here and it was amazing. They give you these wonderful thick cups of chocolate, and you dip the churros into it and it's delicious. We also got the crema catalana, which is basically creme brulee and also extremely delicious.
We got a chocolate dipped croissant which wasn't crispy at all, disappointingly. Also a chocolate and almond covered cylinder filled with some sort of white chocolate, which was also not my favorite. Wonderful place for churros and chocolate and crema catalana, but I'd skip everything else here.

This was our first stop in Barcelona, and holy moly was it setting the bar high for the rest of the trip. After finding it on Yelp we made our way through some winding back streets and arrived at this quaint little coffee/dessert shop. What was on the menu? Hot chocolate and churros of course.
Now you can probably tell from my photo that the hot chocolate was more like a hot chocolate pudding. That doesn't sound appetizing as a type it, but I pinky promise it is. It came in a little tea cup and had a thick film on top. You had to pop it with your spoon and then the gooey chocolate pours out. This is like eggs Benedict level food porn - except it's warm chocolate (which in my opinion is sexier).
With my mind blown I relied on my instincts and what I did next was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Right up there with asking my now wife to be my girlfriend and applying for an internship with Yelp.... this was a life changing moment in my life. I dipped the churros in the hot chocolate. The creamy chocolate coated the churro like a thick layer of paint. Now, I have no idea if this is how the locals eat this...but if they don't they should.
Super nice woman at the counter walked us through ordering and explained some of the chocolate truffles that my wife ended up getting (and I snagged a bite of). The place is small with only a couple of tables. It seems most people take their treats to go. There's a ton of baked goods that are easy to eat on the go.
I know there are a lot of places for Xurros and Chocolate, but this place is really nice. Beautiful place to hang out and make to order cool looking (ring-shaped) Xurros.

So it's 4pm in the afternoon and you've been walking all day. You are still full from a hefty lunch but it's still definitely too early for dinner so you are looking for a snack. Then there's advertisements of churros and melted chocolate. Your eyes open wide and your stomach starts to growl so you step into a shop. I stepped into Xocoa. The place is located in one of the many street near Las Ramblas. The place has a number of tables and wait for it.. free WiFi! A traveler's only wish when using all this data to get around. The servers are there immediately to greet you and provide you with a menu. I came here for one thing only. Churros and chocolate. So I ordered that assuming it's one dish but nope, it's really two items but whatever. The churros are already made and they just add additional sugar on top. On the side you get a pretty hefty sized glass of chocolate. In terms of the taste of the churros, I thought they were too crispy and not as hot as I would've liked. They come in bows so you get to play with the food a bit while breaking the churro in two. The chocolate was very velvety and rich. Mill chocolate with a hint of the dark chocolate flavor. There is definitely enough chocolate for the churros that you could possibly order another order of churros but if you don't want to do that, Xocoa understands people's chocolate obsession and provides a little spoon so you can pretty much just scoop out melted chocolate to eat.
What makes this place a 4 star place is the service. There were 3 servers during the hour or so that I was there and I felt that the service was on point. Always willing to help and super quick in getting your order or anything else you need. The restrooms also very clean, so if you need to go, it's a good place.
Again, the churros are not the best I've had imo but I think they were decent. The chocolate was better than the churros but they work well together. The service and free wifi makes this place bumped up that star. A great place to take a break from the hustle of Barcelona.
Hidden gem in Barcelona. Initially walked past it and used Google Maps to direct us back to what we were looking for, Churros! The cafe was pretty dead when we walked in so I wasn't sure if we were at the right spot. It's more like a little gourmet chocolate shop than anything. Asked if they sold Churros and were told to grab a seat.
We were presented with a deliciously warm cup of melted chocolate which was better than I had expected. The chocolate was not overly sweet and was sooooo easy to finish! If you've had Angelina Chocolate before this is 10x better as the one from Angelina is excessively sweet but this had just the right balance. The churros ended up really just being a vessel to scoop the chocolate with. Highly recommend popping by though if in the area to get your fix.

Tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of Barcelona is Xocoa, a cute little chocolate/bakery on a small side street off of La Rambla. I actually heard about this place because it was on the "hidden street of chocolate," and well, I really, really like chocolate, so obviously I had to check it out.
I initially walked by the place but came back because my sister and I wanted to try churros y chocolate for the first time. So we grabbed a little table and ordered the churros and chocolate!
The churros were delicious and topped with sugar. Sometimes the churros don't come with sugar on top, which can either be a great thing or a bad thing depending on how quickly you want to go into a diabetic coma. I was onboard with this plan so I didn't mind the extra sugar at all. The churros were cooked perfectly and the sugar complemented them very well.
The chocolate here is a little different than the other chocolate I had in Spain, mostly because it was milk chocolate and not as dark as the kind I had at San Gines. It was still pretty good, however -- perfectly thick and wonderful to dip the churros in.
The two women working at the shop were both very friendly.
The bakery was full of amazing looking treats including these massive chocolate/rice balls. I don't know what they were actually called but they looked intense and amazing. I would have gotten one, but I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish it. I'm being 1000% serious when I say they might have been as large as my head.
Great experience, cute place. Would recommend to all who want to try some baked goods in Barca and don't want to be surrounded by crowds and crowds of people.

First stop in Barcelona and boy it did not disappoint! This place is absolutely adorable. Walking in, you are greeted by happy faces and tons of chocolate. We sat down and a very sweet lady came to take our order. My husband decided to order churros and hot cocoa and I asked for a soy cappucino and a truffle ball.
My soy cappucino was delicious - so yummy and creamy. The truffle ball was out of this world. The chocolated melted in my tongue as soon as I bit into it, and the dark chocolate was strong enough without being too bitter - just perfect!
I had to steal a couple of churros from my husband's plate. They were recently fried and were still warm. I did not like the thickness of the hot cocoa (which served both as a drink and a dipper for the churros) so I skipped it and had the churros with just powdered sugar instead. I thought they were perfect like that. Not too sweet, not too heavy. I couldve ate a whole basket, but decided to pace myself because there plenty of other Spanish treats to indulge in.
My husband really liked his hot cocoa, he really enjoyed the thickness of it (it resembled pudding).
We said we would return for more, but unfortunately did not make it back before heading out of Barcelona. Im really bummed we didn't return because it was one of my favorite bites in Spain.
If you want yummy churros, good service and decent prices, this is the place to go!
Incredible little choc shop in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. Get in there and try a variety of everything - from truffle to fralines to different types of cookies. The service was great and they happily talk to you about how everything is made and what to get.
I wandered into here with two other travelers from my hostel. Our tour guide said that the street that this place is on he likes to call "churro street" because there is a large concentration of churros spots and you can smell the chocolate when strolling down the street.
The churros were a bit harder than the ones I'm used to from Mexico. We were a little surprised when the woman at the counter said you can't get just one, which was fine because we split them and they were smaller than others I've had. The chocolate was extremely rich. We were all in a chocolate coma when we finished. It was a good sweetness level, yet still muy rico.
The cafe was cute and they have other desserts too. I believe they spoke English, but I translated to the other people in my group instead.
Knowing that churros & chocolate was a local staple we began our hunt. We were recommended this place by some locals, which in my opinion is always the way to go!
I had a large group with me, which I know can be a pain! We accepted we couldn't sit together and ordered separately so we wouldn't overwhelm the counter. Even with that, the place was packed and staff was overwhelmed.
While the churros were amazing and the chocolate divine, not all of us got our food together or at all at some point. Communication was tricky and since I was with a younger crowd the staff thought they were lying. Ultimately it got fixed but it was the longest snack break we ever took!
If you can, order to go to save the hassle since the place is always busy!
Super cute little bakery shop. We stopped by just to grab something sweet since we were both really craving some tasty chocolate. Decided on the Xurros y chocolat. The chocolate was very good; however, the xurros were a little bit stale. I think they had fried them up earlier and they gave us what was left, which is more than what we ordered, so that was nice--but fresh and hot would have been better.
The lady at the counter was very friendly and helped me with my broken spanish/catalan. I'd like to come back to try one of those cake ball things!
Un sitio muy agradable y tranquilo. El chocolate estaba perfecto, rico de sabor, no muy dulce y textura muy suave. Los churros también estaban muy buenos y deliciosos. Nos atendieron muy rápido y en el interior se podía relajar en un ambiente calmado y acogedor.
Muy recomendado
Muy buena la tarta de zanahoria y el suizo. A destacar la calidad del chocolate y que la nata se sirve sin azúcar, para mí un acierto. Y adjuntan sobres de azúcar para que la adecues a tu gusto.
Fuimos un grupo de 3 amigas un domingo sobre las 7 de la tarde por lo que tuvimos que esperar unos 10mins para tener mesa pero la espera mereció la pena. Los churros estaban muy ricos y el chocolate también. Los camareros fueron muy amables a pesar de que el local estaba lleno de gente. A pesar de la cantidad de mesas con las que cuenta el establecimiento, en ningún momento nos sentimos agobiadas. Raciones de 4 churros.

Fue un día donde está una señora mayor y otra señorita con gafas, muy ruiseñas atentas y amables que nos atendieron muy bien y el local estaba muy limpio y cuando pedimos salió rápido también
Todo muy bueno.
Pero mucho calor y mucho jaleo.
Pero siempre merece la pena.

Disfrutar de un chocolate como el que hacían las abuelas, es como teletransportar el paladar a la infancia!!! Magnifico lugar que se esconde en un callejón de Barcelona.

Servicio ágil y atento en esta xurrería-chocolatería en la tradicional calle Petritxol. No solo sirven churros con chocolate sino una variedad de pastas y dulces muy sabrosos.
El mejor chocolate suizo (con nata) que he probado nunca. De hecho volvimos a la mañana siguiente. Está en un callejón, un poco escondida y rodeada de varias chocolaterías, pero es inigualable. El local es mucho más tranquilo que otros y bien cuidado. El servicio y atención muy buenos y el chocolate inmejorable. La nata la elaboran ellos también y es espectacular. Al principio de la chocolatería tienen tienda de galletitas, chocolates varios y tartas. Volveré seguro en mi próxima visita a Barcelona!!
Die Erforschung von Barcelona wird fortgesetzt. Durch die engen Straßen der Petrixtol Avenue können Sie dieses Café erreichen. Nach einer langen Wanderung beschlossen wir, Churros zu probieren. Die heiße Schokolade war gut und die Churros waren gut. Der Spaziergang auf dieser Allee war unterhaltsam.

Continúa la exploración de Barcelona. A través de las estrechas calles de la Avenida Petrixtol se puede llegar a este café. Después de una larga caminata decidimos probar los churros. El chocolate caliente estaba bueno y los churros estaban buenos. El paseo por esta avenida fue entretenido.
Para mi la mejor de Barcelona. Los dulces son espectaculares y deliciosos. La atención es muy buena. El chocolate no tiene nada que envidiar al tan idolatrado “San Ginés” de Madrid. Hace muuuuuchos años que voy por allí con mis padres.
Aviso; es un local antiguo (la decoración no, está estupendamente) pero la estructura es de antaño, cuando no había una normativa tan específica en cuanto al espacio. Así pues es estrecho y el baño no está adaptado. Pero de verdad, en la medida de lo posible intentad ir, merece la pena, aun que sea a comprar los dulces.
Para mi. Es un sitio indispensable del centro de Barcelona
(No se cómo se llama la bolita de la foto, pero estaba de rechupete)
Realmente vale la pena no solo por la calidad de sus chocolates y dulces, como sus cafés...el lugar es muy cálido y acogedor y lo que sobresale es la atención y predisposición de la gente que tan amablemente te atiende, explica y resuelve tus necesidades. Gracias 🫂. Volveré sin lugar a dudas. Recomendable el chocolate caliente, los dulces con masa filo y la torta. El café de 10!!!!. Gracias
Increíble chocolate espesso con xurros!! Nos gustó tanto que después nos pedimos una ensaimada para compartir para poder rebañar el chocolate que quedava y ufff... Espectacular ensaimada!! El servicio fué rapido y muy amables. Al irnos nos llevamos unas cookies de nutella que el chico muy amable nos recomendo darle un golpe de calor al microondas y la disfrutamos muchissimo!! Seguro que repetiemos porque nos ha fascinado!
La Carrot Cake estaba un poco seca, el cappuccino bien. Atención muy buena. El local es bastante grande pero acogedor
Un excelente lugar para saciar el deseo del clásico chocolate con churros 😋. El lugar me pareció excelente y muy acogedor. La atención fue excelente también. Si van, pregunten por Santi que es un genio total. En la foto hay una taza de chocolate, una porcion de churros, media porcion de nata y una ensaimada ;). Si están bajos de batería en sus teléfonos, ahí hay donde cargar el móvil.
An excellent option to taste the classic xocolata a la tassa with xurros. The place is excellent and cozy. The staff is excellent too. Ask for Santi if you have the chance to go, he did an amazing job ;). My order was hot chocolate with "churros" half portion of wipped cream (no sugar) and ensaimada. If you are running out of battery 🔋, you can charge your phones there ;).
Excelente sitio para tomar unos churros con chocolate que con este frío cae muy bien, tienen variedad de dulces.
Y lo mejor un ambiente muy agradable para compartir con amigos o familia
Super recomendable para visitar y endulzar el día
