Best Places for Milkshakes and Smoothies in Barcelona

Every once in a while we all crave a thick, cold milkshake or fruity smoothie made with tasty ice cream, fresh milk, and our favourite sweet treats. Nothing is more refreshing, especially as the weather begins to warm up! Whether you want to indulge in a calorific chocolate ice cream shake, or take the less guilty option of a fruit-filled yoghurt smoothie, we’ve collated a list of some of our favourite spots in Barcelona to do so…

El Flako – Corn Flakes & Co.

Situated in El Born, El Flako is known for being the #1 cereal café in Barcelona, but their indulgent milkshakes will be the true star of the show when your order arrives. Although their milkshake menu isn’t extensive, each shake is a work of art. Topped with cream, chocolate sauce and other tasty treats, you’ll definitely be impressed (and super full) once you’ve attempted to finish one of these. If you don’t fancy something too over the top, be sure to order your cereal with a flavoured milk for the ultimate taste combination without feeling too guilty. What’s more, El Flako also offer plenty of yummy smoothies and juices, so there’s something for everyone on their menu… besides, who doesn’t like cereal?!

Ordering at Zenzoo is a 4-step process; first you choose your base, followed by the size you would like, then the flavour and finally the toppings. Their milkshakes come in plenty of yummy flavours such as ‘oreo madness’, ‘vanilla café’ and ‘strawberry olé’.

Rodriguez & Co.

Rodriguez & Co. is a healthy brunch spot situated in the Eixample neighbourhood, and is perfect for those who fancy a tasty drink minus the guilt. Their drinks menu consists of an endless selection of fresh juices and smoothies, as well as a few scrumptious milkshakes. The best part about the milkshakes is that they are still super healthy, blended with your favourite type of milk whether it’s soya, almond or cow’s milk! For that tropical summer feeling, we recommend the ‘Malibu’ smoothie, made with apple, pineapple, fresh coconut milk and frozen yoghurt – yum!
