Coffee in Barcelona runs from the old granja, the milk-bar serving thick hot chocolate, to a wave of specialty roasters. Granja M. Viader in the Raval and Granja La Pallaresa in the Gotic hold the traditional end, while Satan's Coffee Corner in the Gotic, Nomad Coffee in the Born and Cafes el Magnifico set the specialty tone. Onna Coffee and Syra Coffee in Gracia show how the roaster-cafe model has spread out from the centre.
