If you venture down to Blai street—a gentle and lively boulevard that runs through Poble Sec—you won’t miss this oasis of goodies decorated in original beriberi style.

An impressive list of teas each with a complete description, are served in intricate little tea cups that make you feel as if you were in a nomadic village. Oh wait, maybe that’s because the interior is designed to resemble a desert tent, which creates an exotic and relaxing environment. Be sure to indulge in one of their many fresh sweets. The baklava, cookies, and madeleines are perfect accompaniments to your tea or coffee. My choice: vanilla milky tea with mini apple madeleines.
