In short: The best place to eat waffles with gelato in Barcelona is Gelateria La Palau (Carrer de Sant Pere Més Alt, 14, Born), with the waffle + artisan gelato from Menodiciotto + topping combo for €4.90, open every day from 12:30 to 23:30h. For classic waffles, Sweet Gaufre (Las Ramblas, since 1986) and Waffle Barcelona (Gran Via) are the most established references in the city.
The waffle is one of those treats you’ll find all over Barcelona — but not everywhere the same. Between a freshly made waffle with artisan dough and one that comes out of a pre-made bag there’s a difference you notice from the very first bite: in the texture, the smell, how it holds the topping.
We’ve been around the city to bring you the 10 best places to eat waffles in Barcelona in 2026, organised by neighbourhood and with up-to-date information. From the classic Nutella combo to the waffle with artisan Italian gelato — which is, for those who already know it, a category of its own.
The best waffle with gelato in Barcelona: La Palau, in the Born ⭐
Before touring the city, we start with what we consider the most complete waffle experience in the centre: Gelateria La Palau, at Carrer de Sant Pere Més Alt, 14, literally opposite the Palau de la Música Catalana.
La Palau is not a standard waffle shop — it’s an artisan Italian gelateria where waffles are the perfect companion to the gelato. And that combination is exactly what makes them something different.
The star combo: freshly made waffle + artisan gelato from Menodiciotto (Italian producer founded in Turin in 1986) + topping of your choice, for €4.90. The hot waffle, the cold gelato on top, the topping dripping down the sides. It’s one of those simple combinations you remember.
Available toppings: Nutella, cream with Lacasitos, banana with chocolate, crocanti with dulce de leche — and seasonal additions.
And if you’re not in the mood for gelato, the waffle on its own with a topping is also available. But we recommend trying it with ice cream at least once.
Options for everyone:
✅ Available every day of the year
✅ Gelato with gluten-free, vegan and sugar-free options
✅ Valencian horchata in summer to go with it
✅ Freshly squeezed natural juices

Waffles in the centre and the Born
Sweet Gaufre — Las Ramblas
The pioneer. Sweet Gaufre has been on Las Ramblas since 1986 and is considered the place that popularised waffles in Barcelona. Locals know it as “the waffle shop on the Ramblas” and tourists discover it almost without looking.
Their offer is classic and unpretentious: waffles and crepes with the traditional toppings, made with artisan dough. For anyone who wants the classic waffle in the most central spot possible.
📍 Carrer de la Rambla, 83 · Las Ramblas
Belgious — Poblenou and centre
Belgious opened in 2007 with Belgian influences and has earned a solid reputation for its waffles and crepes made to the traditional Breton recipe with natural ingredients and gluten-free options. Their offer is more adventurous than average: unusual flavours, unexpected combinations and a menu that goes well beyond chocolate with cream.
📍 Various locations in Barcelona
Chocolat Box — Gothic Quarter and more neighbourhoods
For those who think chocolate is the only topping that matters. Chocolat Box is at Carrer de Jaume I, 3, open every day from 8:00 to 24:00h. Their waffles dipped in melted chocolate have declared fans all over the city, and their presence across several neighbourhoods makes them very accessible.
📍 Carrer de Jaume I, 3 · and other locations in Gràcia, Sarrià and Poblenou
Waffles in the Eixample and Sant Antoni
Waffle Barcelona — Gran Via
A restaurant specialising in waffles with an offer that goes beyond the sweet. Waffle Barcelona serves brunch all day, every day, from 8:30 to 21h. Their menu includes both sweet options with classic toppings and savoury proposals — pancakes, gourmet sandwiches, full brunches — making it a valid plan at any time of day.
📍 Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 300 · Eixample
Farggi — Various neighbourhoods
A family Barcelona chain with its own recipe since 1957. Farggi is not just ice cream: their waffles, available in all their shops, are served with artisan ice cream combinations and classic-style toppings. The advantage is accessibility — there are shops spread across the whole city.

Waffles in Gràcia and the upper part of the city
Giovanni Artgelato — Gothic Quarter and surroundings
An Italian ice cream shop that also stands out for its waffles: hot, freshly made and with more than 30 gelato flavours to combine. The concept is similar to La Palau — waffle as a companion to gelato — but with a different style. A good option if you’re in the Gothic Quarter or nearby areas.
📍 Carrer de la Cucurulla, 2 · Gothic Quarter
Orxateria Astúries — Gràcia
A neighbourhood classic in Gràcia since 1956, known mainly for its artisan Valencian horchata but with waffles on the menu to go alongside. The combination of cold horchata and a waffle with chocolate on the terraces of Gràcia is one of those summer plans that gets repeated year after year.
📍 Carrer d’Astúries · Gràcia
Krampus Barcelona — Gràcia
If what you’re after is a crepe rather than a waffle, Krampus is the reference in Gràcia. They make their crepes with buckwheat flour imported from a traditional Breton mill, both in sweet and savoury versions. The galette Complète (ham, egg and cheese) is their most ordered dish. Minimalist atmosphere and genuine quality product.
📍 Carrer de Saragossa, 89 · Gràcia
Original waffles: Bubbwrap — El Raval
For those looking for something completely different: Bubbwrap specialises in bubble waffles, a sweet that fuses the traditional waffle with ice cream in a cone to go, originating from Hong Kong street markets. The dough has bubbles on the outside instead of squares on the inside, giving it a completely different texture. You can choose from original, chocolate or matcha dough, with ice cream and more than 25 toppings.
📍 Carrer dels Tallers, 80 · El Raval
Waffles in Barcelona with ice cream: the perfect combination
If there is one clear trend at the best waffle spots in Barcelona it’s this: the waffle on its own is no longer enough. The combination of a hot waffle with cold ice cream on top has become the quality standard — and for good reason. The contrast of temperatures and textures makes every bite different.
The place that has best cracked this combination in central Barcelona is Gelateria La Palau — freshly made waffle with artisan Italian gelato from Menodiciotto, at €4.90 for the combo. If you’re in the Born or near the Palau de la Música, it’s the most direct plan.
