1. Wer-Hauss — A Concept Store in Eixample
If you are coming to study in Barcelona we advise you to look at our student apartments in Barcelona.We offer apartments of different types, renovated and well furnished in all areas of Barcelona!
If you're asking yourself 'What's a concept store?', well you're probably not a hipster. A concept store — rather than selling a specific type of product — sells an idea, lifestyle or theme. Wer-Hauss includes fashion, art and a coffee shop, but what sets it apart is that it has a peculiarity... It has been designed inside an old parking garage of about 400 sq. m. Upon entering the shop you'll find an art gallery, library, bar–cafetería and street-style clothes shop. It's on Carrer Aragó 287. Metro stops nearby are Girona (L4) and Passeig de Gràcia (L2, L3, L4). You can visit from Monday to Friday from 10AM to 8PM, Saturday and Sunday from 11AM to 7PM.
2. Babelia Books & Coffee in Sant Antoni
This atypical bookshop is managed by two friends, Berta and Louise. They offer you the opportunity to have a coffee, snack or drink in a quiet and charming place. You can work or read a good book — yours, or those they have there. Their book selection can be read quietly in store or even bought if you want to take it home, they cost between 2 and 6 euros. Most of the time the prices of the books are open to negotiation. Though small, this place offers various activities such as exhibitions, workshops, tastings and concerts. To be aware of everything going on there it's recommended to follow their Facebook page. This café is found near our office on Villarroel, 27.
