Morrow occupies a sunny corner of Gran Via at number 403, near Plaça d'Espanya. Window bars and a few tables make the most of the small room. Its own roasted beans are available to drink or buy, with sandwiches and cakes alongside the coffee.
Coffee style
Morrow is strongest when you order the cup that shows off the roasting. Espresso, flat white, batch brew, and hand-brew methods such as Aeropress, Chemex, and V60 give the bar enough range for both quick orders and slower filter cups. Filter is a good starting point if you want to explore the beans; espresso and milk drinks keep a shorter visit straightforward.
Pastry
Food stays in support without turning the visit into brunch. Pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and a simple breakfast bite give the room enough range to be more than a bare espresso counter. The smart visit is coffee first, something baked second, and beans or a bag to take home last.
What people go for
The feel
The Gran Via room is compact and bright, with window seating looking onto a busy intersection. A few tables and seats outside offer somewhere to pause, though finding a space can take patience. It suits a coffee break near Plaça d’Espanya; the Roger de Flor branch is a separate room across the Eixample district.
Come for the coffee rather than a guaranteed quiet work spot. Seating is limited, and the room can fill up. Sandwiches and cakes make a longer coffee break possible without turning the café into a full restaurant.
