A great place to find cool books and magazines. Maybe one of the best in barcelona. They also have a space for exhibitions that they often fill with amazing stuff.
All Espai Joliu-lovers rejoice! Very recently a second location called Orval has opened, and it’s only 10 minutes away from its big sister.
Just above Ciutadella park, just like its predecessor does. It has plenty of natural light that comes in through the large windows. Another added benefit with the new location is that it consists of two floors instead of just one as in Espai Joliu. Both cafes have their unique charm: Espai Joliu has that rugged, Berlin-inspired atmosphere, and Orval an added modern touch.
The concept of plants and coffee remains consistent here, with a similar drink menu (with many options, and great specialty coffee) and beautiful plants for sale. You will also find an array of magazines and guidebooks.
The staff deserves an added mention, such a friendly bunch!
Espai Joliu is a plant concept store, coffee shop and art gallery. Don't miss out their delicious ecological homemade cakes while browsing one of their magazines or buying a plant.
