My Go-To Work Spots: A Digital Marketer's Guide to Gràcia

Alright, let's get real. As a digital marketer living in Gràcia, my desk is basically whichever table has a decent Wi-Fi signal and is within arm's reach of good coffee. Juggling clients and deadlines means I'm constantly on the hunt for the perfect spot to plug in. People always ask me how I get anything done without a "real" office.

This is how. This isn't some generic list; this is my personal survival guide. My rotation of go-to spots that save my sanity and power my productivity. If you want to work remotely in Gràcia like a local, here’s where you’ll find me.


1. Muss & Coco

My take: The high-energy brunch spot for a power hour.

When I need to smash out a few tasks and want a killer brunch to go with it, I head to Muss & Coco. The energy is always buzzing, which helps me stay focused. Their Wi-Fi is solid enough for most of my marketing work, but be warned: finding an outlet is like winning the lottery. I go for a specific, high-intensity work session, not to camp out all day.

2. Liadsimo

My take: The secret garden for deep work.

On days when I need to escape and do some serious, uninterrupted writing, Liadsimo is my sanctuary. It’s technically on the border with Sant Gervasi, which is why it stays so peaceful. The backyard garden is a total game-changer for clearing my head. Pro tip: make sure you’re fully charged before you go, as plugs are scarce.

3. Cafè Floh

My take: The perfect client lunch spot (especially for vegetarians).

I love taking clients to Cafè Floh. The food is incredible—creative, healthy vegetarian fare that impresses everyone. The atmosphere is relaxed and ideal for a conversation that's part business, part pleasure. It’s a place where I can have a great meal and casually check a few emails without feeling out of place.

4. Suís & Bowls

My take: Where I go to feel like a true local.

This is my neighborhood staple. When I don’t need dead silence and just want to work amongst the hum of Gràcia life, I’ll pop into Suís & Bowls. It gets crowded and buzzy, so it's not for client calls, but it’s perfect for routine tasks while soaking up the authentic local vibe. The coffee and cakes are a huge plus.

5. Cafè Vienés at Casa Fuster

My take: My ace-in-the-hole for impressing clients.

This isn't my everyday haunt, but when I need to land a big client or hold a high-stakes meeting, this is where I go. It's pure class. Located in a stunning 5-star hotel, the Wi-Fi is flawless and the ambiance is quiet, elegant, and professional. It’s an investment, but for the right meeting, it’s worth every cent.

6. Buenas Migas (Passeig de Gràcia)

My take: Old reliable for when the Wi-Fi just has to work.

Let's be real: sometimes you just need a place where you *know* the internet will be fast and stable. That’s Buenas Migas for me. It’s a chain, so it lacks the unique charm of other spots, but its reliability is unmatched. Their super long hours have saved me on more than one occasion for early morning starts or late-night deadlines.

7. Casa Gracia

My take: The all-in-one hub for a super-productive day.

Casa Gracia is a game-changer. It’s like a café, co-working space, and social club all rolled into one. On days when I have varied tasks, I come here. I can start with deep work in their quiet library, take calls in a buzzy salon, and network with other remote workers. It has an option for every mood and every task on my list.

8. Sabio Infante

My take: The creative fuel for brainstorming sessions.

When I'm feeling stuck on a campaign or need to brainstorm, the quirky, vintage vibe of Sabio Infante always gets my creative juices flowing. It’s explicitly laptop-friendly, so I never feel rushed. The unique decor and great specialty coffee make it one of my absolute favorite places for an afternoon of creative work.

9. Bicioci Bike Café

My take: A unique spot for a change of pace.

I love the passion behind Bicioci. The cycling theme is cool and the Italian coffee is top-notch. It’s a small, artsy spot that’s perfect when I need a change of scenery for an hour or two. It’s not built for an all-day grind due to the limited space, but it’s a fantastic option for a short, focused session.

10. La Fourmi

My take: The night owl’s secret weapon.

For a long time, I thought working late meant being stuck at home. La Fourmi proved me wrong. It opens at 18:00 and is perfect for those late-night sessions when a deadline is looming. The vibe is pure Gràcia local, buzzy and social. It’s not for deep focus calls, but for smashing through a final to-do list powered by a good drink? Absolutely perfect.

11. Antarados Café

My take: The tiny gem for a power session.

Okay, this place is my little secret, so let's keep it between us. Antarados is tiny—just a few tables—so it’s not for sprawling out. But here’s the magic: the coffee and snacks are absolutely top-tier. It's the perfect spot for a super-focused, 90-minute power session. I go here when I have one specific task to crush. No distractions, just amazing fuel and a clear goal.
