"This place has a great vibe to it. It’s a bit busy during the morning but plenty of seatings. We ordered a cappuccino, café latte, a mediterinea, and an yuzu/matcha/pistachio cake. All tasted excellent! This was also the only cafe that we went to during this trip that pulled a proper tulip on my latte! Highly recommended!"

"We stayed over in Barcelona for a week leading up to Christmas day, and our hotel was in La Rambla, we discovered Cafe Gil as it was close to where we stayed. It became our breakfast for almost everyday we were in Barcelona, as their bakery and coffee was exceptional. But the best part for me was the two women working at the front, they were kind, attentive and accommodating and they knew we were tourists. During very busy hours, our drinks were made within a very reasonable time, and at a very good quality, it's not something we experience in other cafes, even across the world. Their choice of music selection was also good. The staff would sometimes playfully sing along to the music as well, it really made the atmosphere comforting and fun. I'd recommend this cafe to anyone staying in the La Rambla area for a exceptional, and reliable morning cafe. My thanks to Cafe Gil and its wonderful staff. :)"
