Spice Caf\u00e9<\/strong> is somewhat of an idyll \u2013 if you are a cake<\/strong> lover that is. Sadly, cakes<\/strong> in Spain can be a bit hit and miss \u2013 often tasting very synthetic or just over-sweet. Spice Caf\u00e9<\/strong>, however, offers delicious home-cooked<\/strong> cakes<\/strong> that are perfectly sweet, delightfully presented and supremely tasty.<\/p>\n

Whether you plum for the deep Dutch apple pie cake that is crammed full of fruit or the bright pink and divinely moist chocolate and beetroot cake, or Spice\u2019s very own take on a classic \u2013 crumbly carrot cake with a divine cheese frosting and a dusting of lavender sugar \u2013 you and your little taste buds, will not leave the premises disappointed. And not only are the cakes<\/strong> out of this world, but the portions are generous.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not enough, they also serve delicious coffees<\/a> and a good range of teas and infusions to help you rinse down your cake<\/strong> of choice.<\/p>\n

For savoury delights, there is a distinguished lemon and pepper quiche that is both strange and delicious in equal measures, and there is a choice of bagels with a range of fillings from ham to cream cheese. Or nutella, if the mood should take you.<\/p>\n

The service is fantastic and comes with a smile fitted as standard \u2013 which is always good in a nation famed for its somewhat abrupt and lackadaisical approach to the service industries.<\/p>\n

Spice\u2019s philosophy<\/strong> is good too \u2013 ingredients are mostly sourced locally whenever possible and their aim is quality.<\/p>\n

There are also a number of events that take place at Spice<\/strong> throughout the week, such as language interchanges and a book<\/a> club.<\/p>\n

Spice<\/strong> has free wifi<\/a> and a large table at the back for computer users, but the one downfall of this lovely caf\u00e9, purveyor of the divinest cakes known to Poble Sec, is that it isn\u2019t dog-friendly, unlike the other cafes in the area.<\/p>\n

However, if cake<\/strong>\u00a0is your drug of choice, then it\u2019s still very much worth the visit. The proprietors have created a delightful and friendly atmosphere and there is a tiny patio where you can squeeze with your pooch or if you want to smoke.<\/p>\n
