Hänsel is this cute little cafe on the streets of Barcelona, serving up some great essential sandwiches, pastries, pasta, juices, and coffee. My friends and I stopped by Hänsel on the last morning of our stay in Barcelona and it was a great experience all around.
I got the Bikini sandwich (a ham and melted cheese sandwich) and asked if I was able to add some spinach. While they usually don't include spinach in the sandwich, they said they can add it for me with no extra charge! Also ordered an Americano, which came in a cute espresso mug and was great.
Service wise, our waiter was fantastic. He could tell that we were tourists (obviously, from our huge travel backpacks) and recommended several menu items for us. The food came out quick and all the sandwiches were warm and toasty.
I'd recommend Hänsel to anyone looking for a high quality, yet affordable and quick place to eat for breakfast/lunch/brunch! It's setup like your typical cafe, with many small tables and several wall outlets (I think), so it's definitely a relaxing environment away from the bustling city streets.
French pastries are done in perfection. The pastries with filo dough are crunchy and very tasty. We tried the 4 cheese Quiche, was so good that melts in your mouth. The "cafe con leche" is well done. If you like sweet orange juice this is the place...exquisito!!!
The owner was very patient explaining the different pastries and food options and the server was very attentive. The ambience is very inviting, with a clear wood decore, clean and nice.
Have been eating breakfast here the last two days. Half of the prize of our hotel breakfast. Nice to be able to order scrambled eggs in addition to the usual Barcelona breakfast offerings. Fast, inexpensive, and great for a quick American breakfast. Try to crepes with jam !
