When to go
Sunday has its own usage patterns:
- 10am-11am: quietest time, ideal if you want to sit and read.
- 12pm-1pm: Sunday brunch starts. In March-October there may be a queue at SlowMov and Three Marks.
- 1pm-3pm: peak. Large tables and terraces fill up.
- 3pm-5pm: starts emptying, more relaxed atmosphere for an afternoon coffee.
- 5pm-6pm: starts closing. Most close between 6pm and 8pm.
If you want quiet, avoid 12pm-2pm (brunch peak). If you want vibe and full brunch, arrive before noon.
El Raval and Sant Antoni as an alternative
Specialty cafes in El Raval (Departure Coffee Co., SIP Coffee Roasters) and Sant Antoni (Origo, Paradero) have more erratic Sunday hours. Most open only for brunch and close after. Best to call ahead if you have a fixed schedule.
