Chocolatería La Nena
La Nena is a cafe in Gracia known for hot chocolate served in large cups and homemade cakes made with traditional ingredients. The space features simple tables, light marble counters, ceramic tiles, toys scattered around, and old photographs on the walls.
The shop was founded more than ten years ago by Pep, who previously worked as a cook in Paris and Barcelona. He created an alcohol-free gathering place for families and was among the first in the area to ban smoking.
La Nena reflects the spirit of the Gracia neighborhood, where neighbors gather for simple moments and share community life. The place embodies the tradition of bringing friends and family together around homemade sweets and warm drinks.
The shop opens early in the morning and stays open until late evening without closing, allowing visits at any time of day. Its location in Gracia near the Joanic and Fontana metro stations makes it easily accessible by public transport.
The owner Pep moves between the tables and personally contributes to the family feeling of the place by welcoming all visitors. This personal presence and his commitment to authenticity have made La Nena a special place for neighbors and travelers.
