Cupcake, Cava, and Coffee The cheerful Irish owners of La Cava Cakery have paired two great pleasures in life – gourmet cupcakes and cava. The cosy shop, located on a main thoroughfare in Gracia, is a well-designed blend of stylish light fixtures, tall tables and bar stools, plus an Instagram-ready array of cupcakes in a range of flavors from salted caramel and red velvet to the more traditional chocolate and strawberry. Enjoy a signature cupcake with a mug of their specialty coffee or flute of cava. Cupcakes also are available by order to celebrate a special event, birthday, or business meeting. All cupcakes are baked on site using quality ingredients. Check out these other specialty Barcelona bakeries.
